Bonus News: Adriana Smith
Instead of a regular full-length episode, this week, Madigan wanted to highlight another news story, and give it the time it deserves.
For three months, Adriana Smith has been kept on life support, and will be for another 2 months, until the fetus inside of her is viable enough to be born.
Learn how Georgia's restrictive abortion laws have ruined the lives of numerous families in the state, and about reproductive rights in various states across the US.
