| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com. |
| 0:06.7 | If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony, |
| 0:16.2 | well, there's nothing you can't pass on the Savage Mubcast. |
| 0:24.6 | Two bits of good news to start out the show this week. |
| 0:27.5 | Good news. |
| 0:28.4 | You remember good news, right? |
| 0:30.2 | First, yesterday, the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that would have regulated abortion clinics out of existence in that state. |
| 0:37.4 | And if the law had been upheld, similar laws would have been abortion clinics out of existence in that state. And if the law |

| 1:23.5 | anti-choice chief justice's decision yesterday, in which he cited a legal technicality, |
| 1:28.7 | not an epiphany. Nothing about his decision yesterday prevents him from voting with the |
| 1:32.8 | conservatives to ban abortion in some other case, which is why, even with three good recent |
| 1:38.8 | decisions from the court on gay and trans employment protections, on the dreamers program, |
