Summary

The Dobbs Decision is one of the biggest blows to human rights in our lifetimes, and it’s just the beginning. Ending access to abortion is only the first step in the pro-life movement’s war on bodily autonomy. This week Adam sits with Mary Ziegler, law professor and author of Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction, to discuss the devastating reproductive reality our country might be heading toward.
