Summary
Oklahoma’s legislature passed the country’s strictest abortion bill. The ban goes further than Texas’ abortion law, and if signed by Republican Governor Kevin Stitt it would take effect immediately.
After the New York State Court of Appeals declared maps drawn by the legislature unconstitutional, a court-appointed “special master” released a new set of Congressional districts for the state. The Brennan Center’s Michael Li joins us to discuss the chaos that erupted from New York’s newly drawn maps.
And in headlines: the white gunman in Buffalo, New York’s racially motivated mass shooting appeared in state court, SpaceX reportedly paid $250,000 to settle a sexual misconduct claim against Elon Musk, and clusters of monkeypox have been reported in the U.S. and Europe.
Show Notes:

| 0:08.1 | And I'm Trevelle Anderson and this is what a day with one of our first episodes ever that |
| 0:12.5 | can be heard by Rihanna's new baby. |
| 0:14.4 | And for that Rihanna's baby, we kind of do apologize because this is a rough show, |
| 0:18.8 | news wise. But you know, it could get better. |
| 0:21.3 | Or not. |
| 0:22.1 | We could go either way frankly. We're glad you were listening. |
| 0:25.7 | Yes, we are. |
| 0:31.1 | On today's show, we're going to explain how New York's newly redrawn congressional maps |
| 0:34.6 | could pit Democrats against Democrats. Plus what you need to know about monkey pox cases. |
| 0:40.1 | I don't want to know anything. But first, yesterday, Oklahoma submitted its bid for worst state |
| 0:46.1 | legislature in the country by passing what will be the nation's strictest abortion ban. |
| 0:51.4 | Yeah, wow. So we obviously know that abortion vans are spreading across the country. |
| 0:55.2 | But what more can you tell us about how this one is going to impact folks in Oklahoma? |
| 0:59.3 | Yeah. So with the passage of this bill, anyone who quote AIDS and a bet and abortion, |
| 1:04.7 | as well as abortion providers can be sued in civil court by private citizens, even if you live |
| 1:10.3 | out of state, but are helping someone who lives in Oklahoma. It's modeled after the law that took |
| 1:16.4 | effect in Texas back in September, which relies on civilians instead of criminal enforcement. |
| 1:22.0 | As a reminder, it is that particular provision that has prevented the courts from actually |
| 1:27.0 | blocking the bans as unconstitutional because state authorities cannot actually bring any of the |
