What do you think that people tend to misunderstand about the lay of the land before the decision?

The answer is lots.

This is Susan Matthews, host of the seventh season of the Slate podcast Slow Burn on Roe V Wade.

We are so excited to have been recognized as show of the year by Apple Podcasts

and want to thank everyone who has listened and supported the show.

On this season, we look to the past to understand what the future of abortion might look like in America.

Over 50 years later, I still don't know exactly what happened to me.

It's always women who have the abortions, but it's always men who make the laws.

We tell the forgotten story of the first woman ever convicted of manslaughter for getting an abortion.

Women are told, don't worry, it's never going to be you, it's going to be the person who does the abortion.

And here's a case where actually no we're coming for you too.

We introduce you to the unlikely Catholic power couple who helped ignite the pro-life movement.

And I actually remember Dad saying we will not live to see Ro overturned, but you kids will.

And we look at how a rookie Supreme Court justice appointed by Nixon tackled one of the most pivotal cases in American history.

Frankly, when they decided the case, they were all up one mind that they had solved this issue once and for all.

And now, to celebrate this award, we made five all new episodes with new interviews, perspectives, and ideas about what might happen next in the fight over legal abortion.

Check out Slowburn Roby Wade on Apple Podcasts now to hear those episodes. And do me a favor, tell a friend about the show.
