Summary

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade last year has made it virtually impossible to get a legal abortion in Texas. This case is the latest challenge to that state's abortion ban, and an indication that abortion access will likely also remain a political issue.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, and health policy correspondent Selena Simmons-Duffin.

This episode was edited by Casey Morell and Erica Morrison. It was produced by Jeongyoon Han. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
