Hello, fellow law nerds. Welcome to a special episode of Boom Lawyard, a Rewire News Group podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that is pro-abortion.

I'm Rewire Newsgroup senior editor of law and policy, Imani Gandhi.

And I'm Jess Peeklo, Rewire News Group's executive editor.

Rewire News Group is the one and only home for expert reprojournalism that inspires you to say the word abortion.

From your stomach through your chest. Abortion!

Abortion! And the Boom Lawyard podcast is part of that mission. So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners. So the Supreme Court

heard arguments in two cases challenging SB 8. That's the Texas abortion bounty hunter law

that kicks in once a person provides an abortion after

six weeks gestation or when a quote unquote heartbeat can be heard and Jess is literally making

raspberry noises at me right now which sort of indicates how our how we are feeling at this moment

in time don't apologize I would fart noise right there with you if I didn't

have to speak. So Whole Woman's Health v. Jackson is one of those cases and it's brought by

providers and other people in the abortion access pipeline like abortion funds, clergy people,

that sort of thing. The other case challenging SB8 is the United States versus Texas.

And that is a challenge brought by the Biden administration. And let's just jump right in and say it,

Amani. This morning was a lot. So much. It was a lot. And also, you'd barely know that it was about abortion.

We had two hours of oral arguments.

Two hours.

No, no.

It was three.

Three?

Oh, my God.
