Summary
As we move forward in this post-Roe generation, we can't lose sight of the history behind us that got us here. Mary Ziegler, professor of law at UC Davis, is someone who deeply understands our history as a movement from an outside perspective and sees that we aren't satisfied as long as abortion is still legal. Join me as we dive into history and predict how this war is still being waged by the states, with Students for Life taking a lead!

| 0:00.0 | June 24th, 2022 is a date that is going to be cemented into the minds of pro-life activists, |
| 0:07.4 | an activist on both sides of the abortion wars for decades to come. |
| 0:11.8 | Because as we all know, it's the day Roe v. Wade was overturned in Mike Pence's words, |
| 0:18.7 | thrown into the ash heap of history. |
| 0:21.4 | At the court, I was there, Shirley was there, |
| 0:24.5 | along with the prolet generation. |
| 0:26.3 | We were surrounded by those crying and jumping, |
| 0:30.0 | just joy for the ruling, |
| 0:33.2 | but just a few feet away from us |

| 1:13.3 | know how the justices were going to decide, or even if they were going to pick up an abortion case. |
| 1:19.1 | But everything changed on June 24th. Today's guest on explicitly pro-life podcast is one of the |
| 1:25.6 | most diligent chroniclers of history leading up to that |
| 1:30.0 | date. And I'm sitting down with her to get her take on where we go from here, how we got to this |
| 1:37.4 | point, and where she expects the trajectory of the pro-life and pro-abortion movements to go in |
