How will the Alabama IVF ruling affect the US election?
US Supreme Court justices are considering two cases from Florida and Texas which could fundamentally alter the future of online free speech.
Meanwhile, in Alabama, the state’s top court ruling on IVF has cast doubt on the future of the treatment, as the debate over reproductive rights enters new territory.
We unpack what’s going on, how the cases could affect the lives of Americans, and how they could influence the upcoming election.
HOSTS:
• Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
• Marianna Spring, disinformation and social media correspondent
• Anthony Zurcher, North America correspondent
GUEST:
Mary Zeigler, legal historian, professor of law, and expert on the history, and politics of reproduction.
