While everyone is taking about abortion laws, it's important to start a conversation to better understand the history of Roe v. Wade. 

In the beginning of the show, we hear from a journalist and author of the book, The Family Roe: An American Story, which tells illuminating unknown stories and about the people behind Roe v. Wade, and enables the public, for the first time, to see the abortion debate in America in its full social and personal context.

Regarding the legal and medical implications of possibly overturning Roe V. Wade, we move the conversation to talk with legal and medical experts about what this means for women’s health, and how this would impact Texas’ current and future health care and abortion laws. 

Guests:

Joshua Prager

Hon. Vanessa D. Gilmore

Dr. Rebecca Cohen

Genevieve Marnon
