Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyard, a rewire news group podcast hosted by the legal

journalism team that is super jazz hands about the fact that Kristen Clark was confirmed yesterday.

She's going to be the new head of the

Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. Woo, woo. I'm ReWire News Group, senior editor of law and policy,

Imani Gandhi. And I'm Jess Peaclo, ReWire News Group's executive editor. ReWire News Group is the one and only home for expert repro journalism that inspires you to

sweat with us through the month of June while we wait for upcoming Supreme Court decisions.

The Team Legal podcast is part of that mission.

So a big thanks to our subscribers and welcome to our new listeners.

So I actually haven't stopped sweating since last week, Amani, when the court announced it was going to take Dobbs versus Jackson

Women's Health Organization or Jay Whoop, as we like to call it here on the podcast. Yeah,

it's been a real sweaty, sweaty week. It has indeed.

So we are going to be all over this story, as you can imagine. And I am just going to ask you,

folks, if you haven't already, go over to rewired newsgroup.com because we have reaction there.

And we also have this really great piece from Aaron Mattson.

Did you know that abortions have something in common with roads and bridges?

What?

They do. Aaron wrote this amazing piece about how it's all infrastructure. Go check it out.

That's right. Yeah, she did. It's a a really great piece Aaron Mattson is she's a

rewire alum actually she's a lovely person and yeah the piece is really powerful it makes a really

key argument that we need to invest in abortion the same way that we invest in roads and bridges and

she lays out actually really smart ways to do that so you should go over to rewire news group
