Summary

We have some big news for Boom! Lawyered subscribers: Jess and Imani are launching a second podcast series on February 25th! It's not available yet, but we wanted to give our listeners a special preview... The new show is called We'll Hear Arguments, and it explores the dramatic, inspiring, and infuriating arguments of Roe v. Wade from 1971 and 1972. This journey into the past is extremely relevant to the present as the Supreme Court prepares to take its first crack at decimating Roe in March. So we hope you’ll join us for our five-part series when it launches. Stay tuned for links to the new feed and more! And don’t worry, B!L will still be going strong as we cover current news and events around the courts and our rights, as well.

0:38.1	Nope. That would be the Supreme Court Justice, Amani.
0:41.5	Are you telling me that the Supreme Court justice called the quote-unquote unborn child the
0:46.1	innocent one as opposed to the pregnant woman who is, what, a promiscuous slut?
0:52.1	I mean, basically. And honestly, Amani, I'm not even sure that's the wildest moment from the Roe
0:57.4	versus Wade arguments, but it's certainly up there.
1:00.4	Well, if that clip is any indication, it sounds like the arguments were way more dramatic than you'd expect.
1:06.6	Oh, they were. And the arguments are basically the foundation of all of the abortion rights debates and cases and laws today.
1:14.2	Jess, we should do something about this.
1:16.6	Like a whole new podcast series about the Roe versus Wade arguments.
1:20.7	How they went down, who said what, who won, and who lost, all the drama.
