Rebecca Jackson, the U.S. Southern correspondent for The Economist, dives deep into the evolving landscape of anti-abortion campaigns following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision. She discusses the growing divisions within the pro-life movement and how activists are adopting new strategies to engage supporters. Harmful testimonies from those affected by strict abortion laws reveal the emotional toll of this political shift. The conversation sheds light on the ongoing battle for reproductive rights and the fierce reactions it continues to evoke across various states.
In the months since America’s Supreme Court gave states the power to ban abortions, those in support of the ruling have become more splintered. And with the help of leftist language, they are finding new recruits. A new discovery about the intelligence of a human-like species is changing how we understand evolution. And, a tribute to the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers.
