Description

This week, we react to the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which would overturn Roe v Wade and eliminate the constitutional right to abortion. Peggy Li speaks with Jenny Ma, Center for Reproductive Rights, and Rosann Mariappuram, Jane's Due Process, about the impact the draft opinion will have if it is officially released by the Supreme Court and what it could mean for civil rights more broadly going forward. They discuss reproductive rights through the lens of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) heritage and the experiences of AAPI women and those who can become pregnant. And they explain what we all can do to support reproductive rights. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Peggy Li, ACS Director of Chapters Guest: Jenny Ma, Senior Staff Attorney, Center for Reproductive Rights Guest: Rosann Mariappuram, Executive Director, Jane's Due Process Link: National Network of Abortion Funds Link: Abortion Care Network Link: "Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows," by Josh Gerstein and Alexander Ward, Politico Link: Justice Alito's draft opinion which would overturn Roe v.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
