Hey folks, Remycle and I were guests recently on a Know Your Enemy talking about the origins

of the conservative legal movement and its decades-long campaign to overturn Roe v Wade.

Know Your Enemy if you don't know is a podcast about the American right, and this episode

is part of a series they're doing called How They Did It about the likely reversal of

Roe. So in this episode we talk about the role that violent anti-abortion groups have

played in the broader anti-abortion movement, the role of the Federalist Society and the

conservative takeover of the court, and why and how conservative has just kept hacking

away at Roe even when the courts were ruling against them. We had a lot of fun doing the

episode even though it's a pretty fucking grim topic of course, so we wanted to share

with you guys. If you like it you can find Know Your Enemy wherever you get your podcasts

and we will see you next week with Eggbert V. Boulay. Case about whether Border Patrol

agents can just brutalize you without repercussion and spoiler. The answer is yes.

Oh right, welcome listeners to episode 56 of Know Your Enemy. I'm Matt Sipman, your

podcast go host and I'm here with my great friend Sam Edler-Bell. Hi Matt, hey Sam, I'm

excited for all of our episodes but this one in particular. Yeah, it's a good one.

This is the first of a three part series we're planning on them pending overturning of Roe

Wade. Yeah, exactly. This episode in particular is on the legal aspect of that, the federal

society, the conservative legal movement, the kind of intellectual work that conservatives

did around Roe Wade to kind of get us to this point. Yeah, exactly. So listeners can

look forward to at least two more episodes in this series how they did it on the rights

battle against abortion rights. So who do we have on for this one? You know, we were

thinking about who we could have on to talk about this and there really was no other choice
