In this episode, we consider the end of Roe vs. Wade and examine the evolution of the anti-abortion movement's strategies — from fruitless calls for constitutional amendments to its ultimately-successful focus on state regulation.

Research update: While I’m not extemely familiar with the conventions of the romance genre, I’m assuming that it’s uncommon to cold-open with the hero committing genocide?

We're about to record the next episode — zooming out from last episode's focus to take a look at the broader "Purity Culture" movement, its conceptual building blocks, and its impact on individual lives and communities. Got questions? We'll see if we can fit them in!
