Explained: The War on Roe v. Wade
Episode description
With the prospect of Roe v. Wade being overturned, we unpack the movement against abortion rights in the United States. A leaked draft Supreme Court decision indicates the landmark decision is set to be struck down – what would that mean for American society? Iowa-based writer Lyz Lenz joins Ros Taylor to discuss how the country reached this moment of reckoning, and what could happen next.
- “Since 1973 we have seen a slow erosion of the ability to access abortion services.”
- “There has been a Conservative plan to appoint judges that would overturn Roe v. Wade.”
- “The justices are pushing a minority viewpoint in overturning Roe v. Wade.”
- “Other rights could be up for debate, such as the right to gay marriage.”
- “A lot of Americans were very comfortable and thought this day would never come.”
- “Being able to access the pill saved my life and my career.”
