Summary

In this special episode, Ravi and his guest co-hosts Reason Magazine writer Liz Wolfe and political commentator Stephen Kent weigh in on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that gave women the right to seek an abortion. The hosts also discuss another recent SCOTUS ruling that struck down New York’s concealed carry permit law. Later, they dive into recent data on Gen Z’s political leanings, as well as their attitudes towards sex, careers and marriages. Ravi then draws from his personal experience in progressive politics to explain why many left-leaning organizations are imploding. Finally, Stephen uses a recent New Yorker cover to talk about the - sometimes exaggerated - perception of political division in America. [1:52] Roe v.

0:00.0	So much of this discussion and dialogue around not just the right to an abortion, but other
0:06.0	rights is dependent upon the very credibility of these justices.
0:10.0	And they testified before the United States Senate and had very different things to say about
0:16.0	Roe versus Wade.
0:18.0	You know, it has been long established that justices shouldn't preview how they're going to
0:23.0	vote.
0:23.9	And so I struggle to ding them for this, given that they necessarily have to demur on this
0:30.3	question a little bit.
0:31.5	Welcome to the Lost Debate, a show for Politically Ecclectics.

0:45.0	friends to fill in for Corey and Ricky this week and next.
0:48.8	And as you'll soon discover, I am outnumbered ideologically at a really interesting time
0:53.2	as a lot of Supreme Court
0:54.3	decisions come down.
0:55.4	And so if you're a progressive like me tuning into this episode, this is truly a test of whether
1:00.2	you truly want to hear different opinions than yours.
1:03.6	And our guest co-hosts are Liz Wolfe, an associate editor and writer for reason, and Stephen
1:09.5	Kent, a political writer, media commentator, and author

1:18.1	Pleasure to be here, Ravi. Well, we've got a packed show. We're going to cover the Supreme
