Summary
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the two Supreme Court rulings that have mostly defined the Constitutional right to abortion in the United States. If the state of Mississippi wins the case, depending on the nature of the justices’ ruling, it could effectively end the Constitutional right to abortion and pass the job of regulation over to the states, many of which are prepared to immediately limit when, how and where abortions can happen.
Today, we're going to explore the history of abortion law and what exactly is being argued before the Supreme Court.

| 0:40.8 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking without all that hysterical nonsense you find everywhere else. |
| 1:04.5 | I am your host, Isaac Saul. |
| 1:06.4 | And on today's episode, we are going to be diving in to Roe v. Wade, the challenge to abortion rights |
| 1:14.0 | that is coming before the Supreme Court on Wednesday morning and some of the history behind |
| 1:19.2 | all of that. |
| 1:21.0 | Today's episode is unlike some other episodes, and that is a bit of a special edition and a |
| 1:25.7 | deep dive. |
| 1:26.8 | So we will give you some quick hits |
| 1:28.2 | and some have a nice day sections at the end. But we are just going to jump right in. |
| 2:01.6 | So. So I was inspired to write this newsletter and this podcast, not just because of the upcoming challenge to abortion rights, which will go full throttle on Wednesday morning, but because of my realization that many Americans, myself included, |
| 2:07.2 | are woefully ill-informed about abortion law. Americans' beliefs on abortion, the historical context of this challenge, and how the U.S. generally fits into the global abortion rights |
| 2:12.2 | picture. Observing the discourse about any topic as sensitive as this one can be frustrating or even frightening at times, |
| 2:19.3 | but I've found perhaps because of the stigma around abortion, the sensitivity of the topic, or the propagandizing from both sides, |
| 2:26.5 | there is a noticeable degree of ignorance about the law and the history on this issue that does not exist in other areas. |
| 2:33.6 | On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, |
