Summary

After decades of strategy, plotting, and planning, anti-abortion forces score a major victory when Roe V. Wade was overturned in 2022, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. We see Linci grapple with decades of work having a very different ending than she had hoped, and Randall not yet content with the success in Dobbs. While a Texas case has the FDA approval in peril — unraveling all of the work done by activists in the 1990s—the punk spirit that once drove the pill plot is still alive and well.
