0:00.0	Welcome to burn it all down, and I'll sit you out, and I'll play with your babies till the screaming shout, oh, yeah.
0:09.7	Oh, yeah.
0:09.9	Welcome to Burn It All Down, the feminist sports podcast you need.
0:13.7	Jessica here.
0:15.1	Last Friday, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v.

1:34.4	eventually millions of Americans who will seek abortion care in this country under Dobbs?
