Summary

In overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that had protected women’s bodily autonomy for a half-century, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito claimed that abortion rights were not “deeply rooted in this nation’s history.” In fact, Americans had accepted a woman’s right to an abortion, with limitations, dating back to the Puritan era, even in supposedly solidly anti-choice Texas where the Roe case originated. This episode explores the often-surprising history of abortion in the United States and the connections between anti-abortion politics, racism, and xenophobia.
