Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyer, a rewire.

News podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that is pretty sure that it doesn't have

coronavirus, but can't quite be positive.

So we're just self-quarantining.

I'm Imani Gandhi and I'm Jess Peklo. Rewire. News is dedicated to bringing you the best reproductive rights and social justice news, commentary, and analysis on the web. And the

Team Legal podcast is part of that mission. So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners.

Jess, you and I have been writing about anti-choice tactics to try and ban abortion for a long time now.

And I got to say, I really thought that we'd seen it all.

Amani, we really have.

I mean, do you remember fetal personhood? And all of those

extreme pre-viability bans in places like, oh, Alabama and Mississippi and Missouri.

Oh my God, Missouri. Missouri. I mean, we've been yelling about Missouri and anti-choice lawmakers

in that state trying to ban abortion every which way they can for years now.

No kidding. I think I've written three open letters to Missouri asking lawmakers there essentially, what the fuck?

You have. You really have. And, you know, I don't think you've gotten a good answer to the eternal question, what the fuck. I haven't. I really haven't. And Missouri won't return my calls. I think they've blocked my number. I don't know why. I'm very pleasant on the phone. Missouri answer the damn phone. But I digress. As you do.

It's true. But guess what, Jess? Oh, no. What?

I mean, you don't have to look so distressed. It's been a week already. I'm just saying. Yes, it has. But there's a new totally bonkers tactic that the anti-choice community is using to try and ban abortion.

Do you want to guess what that is?

Honestly, no.

I really don't.

No, next question.
