About this episode
President Joe Biden took some baby steps—finally—to protect abortion in the country. But it's just not enough to get folks abortion care today . In a new episode of Boom! Lawyered, co-hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy dig into Biden's broad-strokes executive order, which is delivers big on aspirations and little on actual direction and action points. As Jess says in the episode: “Waiting to respond, issuing a response that so clearly doesn’t meet the moment—we’re sending signals that what the Supreme Court is doing is OK. Like the Supreme Court is functionally exercising a judicial coup in this country. It’s just doing what it wants because it can. The law is no longer a barrier to anything.” Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that Boom! Lawyered is only made possible by the support of listeners like you!
