What would a post-Roe world look like?
Manage episode 328037184 series 2933311
Last week, there was a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, raising myriad questions across the country and the political spectrum.
“The Gloria Purvis Podcast” welcomes Kristen Day, the Executive Director of Democrats For Life of America and the author of “Democrats For Life: Pro-Life Politics and the Silenced Majority.”
Gloria and Kristen discuss what will and won’t change should Roe v. Wade be overturned. They also look at what historical precedent exists for overturning established law and why, as a legal matter, Roe v. Wade was on rocky ground from the start.
“The flawed reasoning behind Roe v. Wade,” Gloria says, “is that they used bad history. They couldn't actually tie it to the constitution. And then the opinion itself was crafted more like legislation rather than an opinion.”
Amidst all the political disagreements, there are competing claims to what women really want. At the center of this debate are those most vulnerable to abortion, who Gloria says are still being exploited: “Often the poor, Black woman is used as the mascot for why Roe V. Wade should not be overturned without really delving into the messaging behind that.”
