Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyer, a rewire radio podcast hosted by the legal

journalism team that would email you chocolate chip cookies if we had that technology.

I'm Imani Gandy.

And I'm Jess Peeklow. Rewire. News is dedicated to bringing

you the best reproductive rights and social justice news, commentary, and analysis on the web.

And the team legal podcast is part of that mission. So thank you so much for listening and

subscribing. Yes, thank you. We really appreciate it. And today,

we're going to delve into some of the state abortion restrictions that are teed up in 2018.

We're also going to explain some of the legal strategy behind the latest attempts to undo Roe

versus Wade. And, and this is huge, you get to meet Rewire's research assassin, Bree Shea.

Well, it's a new year, and with it comes a whole new set of abortion restrictions,

anti-choice lawmakers plan to trot out.

We're already seeing fetal homicide bans, 20-week abortion bans, 15-week abortion bans,

D&E abortion bans, and even total abortion bans. That's a lot of bands. It's so many bands.

It's one ban too many, I'd say. And if there's one person at Rewire who knows about all of the bands,

all of the bands, like literally all of the bands,

it's our database.

It's our database whisperer, Brie Shea.

When it comes to the types of abortion restrictions that are out there in which state is

trying to pass what garbage, there's probably no one in the entire country that knows

more about it than Brie, and that's not an exaggeration.
