Welcome to Season 3, y'all! 

Bill wanted to kick off the third season of Hound Opinions with something a bit different. But don't worry, he still talks about dogs a bit. 

If you’ve been following on social media, then you know that since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the “supreme” court, Big Wags Chicago has been regularly donating a portion of the proceeds of each walk and training session to the Midwest Access Coalition and Chicago Abortion Fund. To open Season 3, Bill wanted to shout out one of those organizations doing some of the work to make sure women and all people with uteruses have access to safe, legal abortion. Let's not forget - Abortion is health care. Full stop.

On the pod this time are Veronica Mucha and Madison Lyleroehr of the Midwest Access Coalition. Veronica is a volunteer with the organization, as well as working in immigration as a paralegal manager. In addition to her dog, Nora, she has two cats – Percival and Gertrude. Madison joined the Midwest Access Coalition in 2016 as a client coordinator and now serves as the treasurer of the board. This is a cool group and they're doing awesome work. Check out the Midwest Access Coalition online at midwestaccesscoalition.org.
