On this Sunday’s edition of News You Can Use on WTIC NewsTalk 1080 at 5:30a and 9:00a, host Ann Baldwin and co-host Lisa Nkonoki have a raw conversation to discuss some of the issues and controversial topics that are affecting our society right now. 
Focusing on the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, Ann and Lisa dive into what exactly this change means on the surface level but also what repercussions this decision will have on individuals around the country.
Women’s rights should continue to trend in the right direction but that cannot happen when women are being silenced and ignored by law makers. The lack of respect and equality in this country is truly an issue that needs to be addressed and that starts with us as individuals.
