Description
Isolated and sleep-deprived in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, Jonah once again attempts to fuse the classic Ruminant format with that of a supplemental episode. With the possibility that Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade, a sea change could soon occur in American politics. Using an extract from The Tyranny of Clichés (still available wherever books are sold!), Jonah explores some of the most challenging questions surrounding the jurisprudence of abortion. When does life truly begin? Why are taboos so important?

Jackson Women’s Health Organization- Jonah’s previous ruminations on abortion- The Remnant with Will Saletan- The (eternally underrated) Tyranny of Clichés- Barbara Boxer’s blunder
