This conversation with Dr. Laura Briggs, author of How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics, on the politics of reproductive justice is more important than ever. We discuss the daily assaults on bodily autonomy, the history of Roe v Wade, Reagan's role in diminishing the social safety net,  and why conservative women vote against their own interests.

Please Note:This is an updated, condensed version of the original recording published a few months before the 45th anniversary of Roe v Wade. This episode contains some adult language).
