    In the days following the Supreme Court opinion which overturned Roe v. Wade, states have been left to decide how to regulate abortion.

  • How SCOTUS is Reshaping America

    We take a look at a momentous week at the Supreme Court and the far-reaching impacts of two major rulings. First, we examine why the court’s conservative majority overturned Roe v.

Then, in the wake of a major ruling on gun rights, we hear the story of an Oklahoma group that is actively trying to loosen weapon laws in the state, despite a spate of recent mass shootings and the passage of new federal gun legislation.
