In this episode, we talk with journalist Amanda Becker about the impact of the Dobbs decision, the legal chaos that followed, and how the fight for abortion rights continues.
Becker shares insights from her book You Must Stand Up, detailing the rollback of reproductive rights, the history of anti-abortion legislation, and the movement’s ongoing efforts to restore access through ballot measures, legal strategies, and political action.
“Fetal personhood is the endgame of the anti-abortion movement. If a fetus has the same rights as you or I, the person carrying it will inevitably have fewer.” — Amanda Becker
