Summary

In this Dispatch episode of Guerrilla History (and crossover with Revolutionary Left Radio), we discuss the newly leaked draft opinion from the Supreme Court of the United States what would overturn Roe v. Wade and strip the right of access to safe abortion to millions of Americans. We try to frame this historically, and discuss the politics of this draft, which is set to be finalized and voted on in just over a month. A critical topic for us all to focus on right now, and to think together about what steps to take next. The full text of the draft opinion can be found here: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/read-justice-alito-initial-abortion-opinion-overturn-roe-v-wade-pdf-00029504
