On this, the third anniversary of the Trump-packed Supreme Court's 'Dobbs' decision overturning 'Roe v Wade,' it's notable that abortion rates are actually up in states with and without abortion bans on the books, according to a recent study. Still, pro-choice activists and Georgia Democrats made their case throughout the day that women deserve the right to bodily autonomy.

On with me today to discuss the state of women's reproductive rights in Georgia and the U.S. is Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters.

Melita stuck around to share her insights on the dichotomy between (President Jimmy) Carter-era foreign policy - a more heart-felt and hands-on approach that led to the infamous Camp David Accords and the irrational 'Truth Social-led' Trump attempts at "waging" peace on the Middle East with bombs.

On Iran, by the way, I shared a powerful op/ed written by Atlantan, Iranian-American Sophie Kaufman, married to a Jewish American man .... mother of two children and raising them immersed in both cultures.

Then a peak in at a recent segment on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' featuring two New York City mayoral candidates - one Muslim-American, the other Jewish-American. Why I shated this?

It shows the coexistence of so-called 'rival factions' in a deeply liberal city and how both sides actually come to a point of agreement on shared values and goals on the left, whereas the right continues to believe, for more than half a century now, that military might and the threat of more of it, will somehow eventually make the suppressed opposition come to heel.
