Summary

In light of what's happening at the Supreme Court, we wanted to bring you another show from Wonder Media Network called Ordinary Equality. If you are long-time listener of the pod, you know how overturning Roe would significantly impact women of color, triggering arcane abortion laws in states where women of color are more likely to live, and making it even more difficult to access other types of safe, affordable reproductive healthcare. This episode of Ordinary Equality examines the landmark Roe v. Wade case–how it came to be, what exactly it established, and where it’s vulnerable to legal attacks.

0:00.0	Hey y'all. I'm Ashanti Golar, host of the Brown Girls Guide to Politics.
0:05.1	The BGG is the one-stop shop for women of color who want to talk and shape the world of politics.
0:12.9	This season, we're getting deep into the details of Project 2025.
0:18.7	In 900-plus pages, it's proposing dramatic conservative changes to education,
0:24.3	health care, and foreign affairs. But underpinning it all is an entirely new vision for how

1:05.4	more from us very soon.
1:08.2	In the meantime, I wanted to take a moment to address what's happening right now at the
1:13.0	Supreme Court. In case you didn't hear, the Supreme Court heard opening arguments on the
1:18.7	Mississippi abortion case that essentially bans all abortions after 15 weeks. The six conservative
1:25.3	justices have all indicated they were likely to uphold the ban,
1:29.8	which would significantly weaken Roe versus Wade. Some of the justices even suggested
1:36.2	they were interested in overturning Roe altogether. If you are a longtime listener of the pod,
1:43.1	we did several episodes in partnership with Planned Parenthood
1:45.9	on how overturning Roe would significantly impact women of color, triggering arcane abortion laws
1:52.7	in states where women of color are more likely to live, and making it even more difficult
