Hi there, I'm Lale Arikoglu, and this podcast is brought to you by Wilderness, a conservation-driven

hospitality company that offers intimate world life encounters in extraordinary remote landscapes.

Last year, I embarked on two separate solo adventures with Wilderness, one to Botswana and the other

to Namibia, where the expert guides delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime

experience. I promise you, whatever you watch and see before you go won't prepare you for the thrill

of a wilderness adventure. eBay, it's a place to fall in love with new pre-loved vintage and rare

fashion over and over again.

Your favorite designers, expertly authenticated.

Yeah, eBay. Things people love.

Welcome to the political scene. I'm Evan Osnos.

For half a century, conservative groups have been intensely focused on overturning Roe v. Wade,

the landmark 1973 decision which legalized abortion.

And in that time, they've made significant inroads chipping away at access to abortion in a number of states.

But now they seem on the cusp of a near total victory.

The recent leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito

indicates that a majority of the justices seem ready to overturn Roe completely.

It would be the biggest reversal of personal rights in the United States in more than a generation.

Access to abortion in roughly two dozen states could end overnight, and decades of legal doctrine could start

to unravel, meaning that a host of other rights, from access to contraception to gay marriage,

could face serious legal challenges. Our colleague, Jeannie Suk Gerson, is a contributing writer at The New Yorker and a professor at Harvard Law School.

She's written extensively about the Supreme Court and about abortion legislation.

Hi, Jeannie. Thanks for joining me.
