We can breathe slightly easier knowing that our nation has a new administration- but we cannot pause in demanding that the racist and classist Hyde Amendment be overturned. And as we shake our heads at the mountains of Trump pardons (so glad that Elliott Broidy can get back to hushing up pregnancies) we are reveling in how ex-legislator Derrick Evans’ clinic harassment is being scrutinized. We are excited for Robin Marty, abobo historian, author, and activist to give us a crash course on Joe Schiedler, founder of the Prolife Action League. who died this week at age 93. Scheidler was one of the OG abortion extremists, and Robin takes us on a scary trip down Scheidler lane and gives us a reality check about his legacy and the harm it hath wrought.
