Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter looks at how unlikely it is that Congress will pass an abortion bill. He says the Supreme Court could be asked to rule on a nation-wide law banning abortions. The next frontier would be trying to stop people from leaving their states for one, he says. This has been a goal of the conservative legal movement "for generations," Sutter writes.

A largely unprecedented leak of a draft Supreme Court decision reveals the Court’s conservative majority intends to overturn Roe v. Wade. New York magazine’s Irin Carmon explains what that means for reproductive rights.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Hady Mawajdeh, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and Victoria Dominguez, engineered by Paul Mounsey, and edited by Matt Collette and Sean Rameswaram, who also hosted.
