For those of you that don’t know, there was recently a draft released by the Supreme Court regarding abortion. If you’ve been listening to the news, you may feel confused about what it really means. 

This entire episode will be focused on providing information to educate you on what is going on in the United States right now. I know I learned so much from our guest, Sharon McMahon, and I hope you feel informed on how this will impact the country and women specifically.

Sharon is the mastermind behind the Instagram account @sharonsaysso, where she tackles tough government questions with non-partisan facts. She has over a decade of experience in government and law education. Sharon is passionate about teaching others how to recognize bias and empower them to feel less overwhelmed and more informed along the way. 

We discuss landmark cases, the possible implications if Roe vs. Wade is “overturned”, The Women’s Health Protection Act, and many other topics on abortion in the United States. This episode is not advocating a specific position, but rather focusing on the facts. If you have more questions about abortion in the United States, be sure to check out Sharon’s resource here.
