Hey everyone, it's Kate. It's been a while, but my gosh, so much has happened since we last spoke.

Last week, the Supreme Court heard opening arguments on the Mississippi abortion case that essentially

bans all abortions after 15 weeks. The six conservative justices all indicated they were likely to uphold the ban, which would all but annihilate Roe v. Wade.

It's also clear that many or possibly most of the justices are interested in overturning Roe versus Wade altogether.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that if we lose Roe, all other cases similarly following under the

right to privacy are also on the chopping block because, quote, none of those things are written

in the Constitution. The death of Roe could signal a loss of all these hard one rights found in

the structure, not the text, of the Constitution, access to

contraceptives in Griswold, legal LGBTQ relationships in Lawrence, and same-sex marriage in

Obergefell, in addition to abortion rights. All of that we stand to lose. In short, it's time to sound

the alarm. To help us understand what

exactly is at stake, we're bringing back our episode from season two that examines the landmark

case Roe v. Wade, how it came to be, what exactly it established, and where it's vulnerable

to legal attacks. You better believe we're watching the

Mississippi abortion ban case dobs like a hawk, and we'll be back soon to keep you on the loop.

In the meantime, stay tuned for everything you need to know about the status of Roe and how we can

fight back by certifying and publishing the ERA, cementing it into the Constitution once and for all.

There should be no law regarding abortion.

Why is there a special

law on abortion? It should be like any other, you know, an appendectomy. Why do you have special
