This week should have marked the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. But the 2023 anniversary marked the first year since 1973 where abortion was not federally protected.

It was the first year where residents of Tennessee have fewer recognized rights than their neighbors in Illinois.

Since the Supreme Court formally overturned the right to abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the damage has been relentless. How has your life changed since Roe v. Wade was overturned? Do you remember where you were when Roe v. Wade was passed into law? Leave a comment below.

Thanks for the huge love on our last episode of B*tch, Listen! We're so grateful that you're all here. We're dropping a fresh new episode of our other show Boom! Lawyered tomorrow and it's a juicy one. 🧃

Hosts Imani Gandy (@/angryblacklady) and Jess Pieklo (@/hegemommy) will be discussing a new school launched in Colorado that’s designed to erase the separation of church and state in public education. It's interwoven into why the conservative legal movement could finally succeed in getting taxpayers to fund religious schools.

For our U.S. audience: We'd love to hear what state/region you'll be listening in from tomorrow! And sound off in the comments if there is a legal or repro issue we should be covering in your state!

Hey folks! We wanted to let you all know that there won't be a new episode this Thursday. ICYMI: you should check out last week's Planned Parenthood redistricting episode.

"I think people just assume California is always fine, like we're fine. We don't need to worry about California. We're so used to giving to national things because we're so worried about other states. But the truth is, if you look at the numbers, California is pivotal in whether or not we can flip the House," said Jodi Hicks, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California.

We want to hear from you 🫵: What state races are you tuning into this election?  🗳️

We'll drop a few other states that our reporters have been following on our site in the comments below.
