Summary

In a world that’s become deeply transactional, we need to get more relational. We need to have the difficult conversations about access to health care, abortion care, women’s rights, minority rights, human rights…because ultimately they’re all connected.

Like give us universal health care, give us universal pre-gay, give us good public schools and affordable college, give us paid family leave.

Yeah.

And then maybe, you know, don't have so many of our children die in school shootings and we would want to have more kids, right?

0:19.5

If today we can die from a treatable pregnancy

0:22.0

complication or bleed out in a parking lot because no one will see us, or we can be jailed for a

0:26.5

miscarriage that doesn't really inspire people to have children. It makes it terrifying.

Hello. Hello, and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it.

So the prevailing news, as we record, is around Los Angeles. The ice rates, the federal overriding of states' rights to call in the National Guard against the

0:54.3

will of the governor, the deploying of the United States Marines to patrol in American city against

the law that prohibits the U.S. military from being used in domestic law enforcement.

1:44.6

bill that defunds every Planned Parenthood in the nation. Not abortion care, because many

Planned Parenthoods don't even offer that service, but the clinics themselves and everything they
