Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to a special episode of Boom Lawyard,

a rewired news group podcast hosted by the legal journalism team.

That's just like, really?

You know, just come on, man. I'm Imani Gandy.

And I'm Jess Peklo. Rewire News Group is dedicated to inspiring you to own your relationship to sex, abortion, parenthood, and power. And the team legal podcast is part of that mission. So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners.

So today, the Supreme Court announced that it would be taking up a case that could

completely upend abortion rights.

So I guess we're glad that they finally stopped growing weed and gardening and cross-stitching

in the meadow to decide to take a case that they don't need to take to take.

And, ugh.

So we're going to talk about that today. The case is Jay Hu, Jay Hu, Jackson. Sorry. Jay Who, that's a sound of police. I'm sorry. Already off the rails. Jay Hu versus Dobbs. And it's about Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban. So that's what we're going to talk about today.

First, we're going to talk about what the Mississippi case is about.

Second, we're going to talk about what it means for abortion rights that the Supreme Court decided to take this case and why Amy Coney-Barritt just may be the most important Supreme

Court Justice on the bench right now.

And third, we're going to turn to our inveterate SCOTUS whisperer, Jessica Mason-Piclo,

for some details about what's going to happen next.

And then finally, as a special treat, we're going to talk to Hillary Schneller.

She is one of the attorneys on the case from the Center for Reproductive Rights.

So let's get this party started.

So first, what is this case about?

Jess, what's this case about?
