Summary

This weekend, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down the voter-approved congressional maps, while the Tennessee legislature eliminated its only Democratic Congressional District β€” but Sarah and Beth think despondence is the wrong response.

Then, Sarah and Beth discuss what it means when marriage and family become a luxury β€” and whether the way we talk about life is making the problem worse. Learn more about your ad choices.
