This super-sized season premiere episode is a conversation with Erika Galindo and Mads Clendening about what happened on abortion at the Texas Legislature earlier this year. They’ll update you on the complex (and still-changing landscape) of abortion access in Texas, highlighting the challenges and legislative changes that have brought us to where we are now. We’ll also talk about the importance of reproductive justice, the role of abortion funds, and the need for community engagement and solidarity in the fight for abortion rights. The conversation also touches on the recent history of abortion access, including explaining how abortion was banned in Texas even before the end of Roe v. Wade.
