First of all, welcome to this episode of the Merry Trump Show's

0:14.6

Foundry Sessions, where you're witnessing in real time on

0:20.3

nervous I am because I have put together this panel to end all

0:26.6

panels, not that this is the end of the panels, but holy cow, what a panel.

0:32.2

So it left me briefly awestruck, shall we say. So this is going to go down in

0:41.8

history as one of my finest moments in broadcasting, but I want to start

0:46.1

here. We are 98 days out from the 2022 midterm elections. Yep, that's a double

0:52.5

digit territory. And I think it's safe to say that we are not in an era where

1:01.2

it's politics as usual. In the past, we've spoken here about what we can do, you

1:54.8

journey through this, it's medieval in its cruelty, it's medieval in its

1:58.2

ignorance of the history of reproductive justice or lack thereof in America.

2:04.6

And of course, that's includes, but of course, limited to the egregiousness of

2:10.4

things like comparing abortion to enslavement, which justice, Clarence Thomas

2:15.6

often does. So I'd like to start off today with Dorothy Roberts, a professor of

2:23.7

Africana Studies, Law and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. She's also

2:28.5

the author of Killing the Black Body and torn apart. Dorothy, thank you so much
