On the 46th anniversary of the landmark US ruling that made abortion legal, New York state signed into law a new abortion rights bill.

The most controversial part of the bill is the provision allowing abortions after 24 weeks in cases where there is an "absence of fetal viability, or the abortion is necessary to protect the patient's life or health".

My home state, Virginia, is currently considering a similar bill.

We thought it would be a good time to invite a pro-choice advocate onto the show. This conversation gets a bit feisty, as abortion debates often do, but at the end we parted ways as friends.
