Summary

Maria and Julio share their responses to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade case. They talk about the vulnerable communities who will be impacted if abortion bans go into place across the country. They also get into how Republican candidates for Congress, like J.D. Vance, are vying for Trump’s endorsement to push ahead in their primaries.

ITT Staff Picks:

In this personal essay for Prism, Tina Vasquez writes about her experience and struggles with getting an abortion and why it’s “a matter of life and death.”
Andrea González-Ramírez lists ways to support abortion rights in this article for The Cut.
“Trump now has a definitive rebuttal to those who believed his grip over the party was loosening, and Republican candidates in other states are certain to exert even more energy trying to win his approval,” writes Alex Shepard for The New Republic on Republican J.D. Vance’s Ohio primary win.
