Today's show is the first of many State of Roe minisodes, where Chris will tackle the status of abortion rights on a state by state basis. The first to find itself in the spotlight is Chris' own home state of Washington, which legally enshrined abortion even before Roe v. Wade, and which may prove to be a hotbed for travelers from out of state should Roe fall.
