Every session of the Texas Legislature, Republicans file bills that affect Texans’ access to reproductive health, in particular, limiting abortions.

Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Lucie Arvallo, the executive director of Jane’s Due Process, to talk about which abortion-related bills passed and which ones failed at the Texas Legislature this year.
