Episode notes

If the court upholds this mississippi case, which it sounds like you think is highly likely, what does that mean for abortion rights across the country? So it depends what the opinion says. If the opinion overrules roe either honestly or dishonestly, that means that states can do whatever they want. When will we find out? My best guess is late june. All the decisions that it's going to hand down that term are typically handed down by the end of june.

The Supreme Court today heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. Vox’s Ian Millhiser explains how the Court could undo Roe v. Wade without overruling it.

Today’s show was produced by Victoria Chamberlin with help from Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
