We hope you enjoy this rerelease of one of our favorite episodes: Episode 123. Originally released on May 11, 2022, you will hear us discuss abortion in the United States before and after the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade. Hillary and Tina cover Roe vs. Wade and the history of abortion in America. Hillary’s Story Throughout the early history of America, abortion was permitted. BUT when women began to seek more rights, more restriction on abortion gets enacted. Tina’s Story Roe vs. Wade made a woman’s right to choose a private issue and ensured safe access to abortion. BUT despite that republican law makers have fought to restrict abortion access in America.
