The Ongoing Impact of Dobbs

The episode emphasizes the profound consequences of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, particularly regarding the landscape of reproductive rights. It explores how the elimination of federal protections against state interference has led to a surge in restrictive laws affecting various aspects of reproductive healthcare. The hosts discuss the erosion of access to abortion, prenatal and maternity care, highlighting specific cases where patients were denied critical medical assistance, resulting in tragic outcomes.
