South Carolina punished five women for standing up to power, and the consequences are still unfolding. The Sister Senators join Frogmore Stew for a live conversation about crossing party lines, losing their seats, and what it costs women to challenge abortion bans in the South Carolina Senate. They speak candidly about retaliation, misinformation, and the deeply personal toll of fighting for reproductive rights in a legislature dominated by men. The conversation also lays out what advocates can do right now as new abortion restrictions and criminalization efforts move through the State House.
