Hello, fellow law nerds and welcome to a very special episode of Boom Lawyard,

a rewire news group podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that is so excited

to have this guest with us today. I am Jess Piclo, Rewire Newsgroup's executive editor.

Rewire Newsgroup is the one and only home for expert reprojournalism that inspires you to

mark the Dobbs anniversary with, I don't know, a grimace or something because it's not great.

And the Boom Lawyer podcast is part of that mission.

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

So I am so excited to introduce my guest and co-host today, journalist and author Jessica Valenti,

who has an absolute powerhouse in this moment

in keeping track of our abortion access landscape after Dobbs.

If you do not already subscribe to her newsletter abortion every day, you must do so.

It is critical reading in this time. So this episode is part of a larger

editorial package we've put together over at ReWire News Group to commemorate the one-year

anniversary of the Dobbs decision and the access of legal abortion as many of us knew it.

Welcome, Jessica. Thank you for joining.

I wish the circumstances were cheerier, but I'm thrilled to have you anyway.

I'm glad to be here.

Yeah.

Wish it was different, but we're in it together.

We are.

We truly are.

And, you know, Amani's not here with us today because she is currently in Paris living her best life.
