roe v. wade

Two top “New York Times” journalists join us with the untold story of the plan to overturn Roe v. Wade and the consequences for women, abortion, and the future of America. In June of 2022 Americans watched as the Supreme Court reversed one of the nation’s landmark rulings. For nearly half century Roe was synonymous with women’s rights and freedoms, then suddenly it was gone. In their book “The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America” Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer reveal the explosive inside story of how that happened.

Today the Supreme Court of the United States handed down its long awaited ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson case, which overturned Roe v. Wade and sent abortion policy back to the states. To discuss we welcome Justice Robert H. Jackson Distinguished Professor of Law Vin Bonventre, President/CEO of Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood Chelly Hegan, and WAMC's Alan Chartock.

Governor Kathy Hochul says she’ll ask the federal government for aid to deal with the expected surge of people seeking abortions in New York, if the Supreme Court acts on a draft opinion striking down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

Wade, Jane Roe, whose real name was Norma McCorvey.
