Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyered, a rewire.

Dot News podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that is pretty jazzed that there's a

Democratic governor in Kentucky now.

Pretty freaking jazzed. I'm Imani Gandy.

And I'm Jess Piclo. Rewire. Dot News is dedicated to bringing you the best reproductive rights

and social justice news, commentary, and analysis on the web. And the Team Legal podcast is part of

that mission. So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners.

We usually try to ease you into these episodes because at this point, we're just mostly trying to find ways to explain all of the bad shit that is going on in a way that won't

make you want to say, just sit back and eat sheetcake for the rest of your life.

But the topic of today's episode is really too serious to be candy-coded.

It really is.

State legislators have been interfering in the doctor-patient relationship when it comes to

abortion care for decades, right, Amani?

Yeah.

But they've also been forcing doctors to lie about these quote unquote consequences of abortion like

increased risk of breast cancer for example or infertility or suicide ideation or I don't know

fear of vacuum cleaners whatever it is they cook up yeah and that's actually something that they say

that people who get abortions fear of cleaners. Come on, guys.

But in today's episode, we're going to talk about a truly pernicious lie that state legislators

are forcing doctors to tell. And that lie is this, that abortion can be reversed.

Reversed. Yeah, you can just go ahead and reverse it. Just put your thing down, flip it and reverse it.
