episode 1351: Indiana Lawmakers Debate Strengthening Abortion Restrictions
After Roe v. Wade was overturned in June, the issue of reproductive rights was returned to states to decide. In a special session currently taking place in the Indiana legislature, Republican lawmakers are pushing to ban most abortions in the state, with a few exceptions. But, not all Republicans are on board with the proposal, saying it goes too far, and the White House is also lobbying against the measure.
This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, White House correspondent Asma Khalid, and Indiana Public Broadcasting statehouse bureau chief Brandon Davis.
