The sanctity of life is promoted throughout the scriptures and is critical for us to address from conception to natural death. There are many that will complain about the violence in our society today while at the same time give their full blessing to violence in the womb. We thank God that 3 years ago we saw Roe v. Wade struck down. Most recently in the One Big Beautiful Bill, funding is being pulled from Planned Parenthood. We know there is a court challenge to stop this, but its passage is inevitable. Over 30 Planned Parenthood Centers have announced their closure this year and there are more to come. In so many states babies continue to be targeted in the womb and tragically, according to numberofabortions.com, we are approaching nearly 67 million lives lost.
The Supreme Court gets to make decisions that affect our most fundamental rights. When it ruled on Roe vs Wade in 1973 and then overturned that ruling in 2022, it determined our ability to access reproductive care. And in 2015, their ruling on Obergefell vs Hodges gave same-sex couples the right to marry the person they love. Just last year, they ruled that Trump has absolute immunity for “official acts” he commits as President.It's concerning enough to think that they're ruling along party lines, since there are currently six Justices appointed by Republican presidents and only three appointed by Democrats. But the Supreme Court also has no official standards of ethics. Just think — the highest court in the country, making these incredibly important decisions, with nothing stopping them from ruling according to extremist ideology or even greed. Justice Clarence Thomas, for instance, has accepted millions of dollars of gifts from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow. And his wife Ginni is a far-right extremist who pushed for Republicans to overturn the results of the 2020 election. How could we possibly trust him to rule fairly on a case like Trump vs The United States?Congress has the power to change the way that the Supreme Court works — from rules about ethics, to how many Justices there are, to whether they should have lifetime appointments. So talk to the people in your life about the Supreme Court. We deserve to know if these decisions are being inspired by a deep understanding of the Constitution… or a million-dollar vacation to Bali.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Eve Espey discuss the impact of the US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v Wade. Dr. Espey explains that 41 states have abortion bans, with 12 states imposing total bans and 28 states restricting based on gestational duration. She highlights the increased maternal mortality and health risks due to these restrictions. She also emphasizes the need for continued advocacy and training for medical professionals in reproductive health care. Key Takeaways: The overturning of Roe v Wade reversed about 50 years of women's reproductive rights. In many states, the Roe v Wade protections had been chipped away over the years, even before it was overturned. Abortion bans are about more than abortion - they affect women's health care in areas of family planning, cancer screenings, and basic preventative health care. Contraception and abortion are integral parts of comprehensive women's health care. "We do have a very energized group of people around this issue and much more scholarship and advocacy than in days past. So I would say we need to keep up the fight, and we need to keep supporting our learners to really understand why this care is so important and how to provide it." — Dr. Eve Espey Episode References: Aid Access: https://aidaccess.org/en/ Reproductive Justice: https://www.sistersong.net/reproductive-justice Connect with Dr. Eve Espey: Professional Bio: https://hsc.unm.edu/directory/espey-eve.html Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

R-Soul: Reclaiming the Soul of Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
When the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a death blow in 2022 to federal abortion protections offered by Roe v. Wade, a gruesome patchwork quilt of abortion regulations covered the nation, creating drastic gaps to abortion access from state to state. Three years into this new “normal,” Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams talk about what life is like now that nobody got what they really wanted from the U.S. Supreme Court. Focusing on the impact that confusing abortion laws and vague, ever-changing repro rights restrictions have on patients seeking care, Kelley and Terry frame the present as a prelude to what's possible through religious freedom protections, communal resistance, and effective organizing in the coming years.

Hey friends, just a quick heads-up that today's conversation touches on some mature and important topics, so you might want to pop in some earbuds or wait for a quiet moment alone. Using the best tech well means using it to see God's kingdom come, and His will be done. But how do we do this when it comes to topics that are politically charged and high stakes, like abortion? Today we talk with Roland Warren, the President and CEO of Care Net, about how to live out Christ's mission that we are to live life abundantly. We'll take the time to discuss the Dobb's Decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, the changing landscape with the Plan B pill, and why good laws are important but are secondary to the change that will make them matter.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4nW6bo5

The Tortoise and the Hare: How Strategic Patience Lets Conservatives Win While Progressives Burn OutIn the culture war, it's not ideology that wins. It's tempo. Progressives operate in existential now-or-never mode. Conservatives move like tectonic plates. One sprints. The other strategizes. One demands transformation overnight. The other sits silently, waiting for the overreach—and then strikes.Progressives are the hare. They lurch forward, propelled by urgency. Climate catastrophe. Trans suicide rates. Racism. Abortion. Every issue is a crisis. Every delay is violence. So they sprint ahead, sure of their moral position and shocked when the rest of the country doesn't keep up.Conservatives are the tortoise. They rarely push forward. They don't need to. Their goal isn't to change the world, but to preserve it. So they wait. They accept setbacks—like the 1994 assault weapons ban—with stoicism. They don't riot. They buy bolt-actions and wait 10 years. When the ban expires, they don't just reclaim their rights. They expand them. Since 2004, constitutional carry has spread to over half the country. Patience, rewarded.Nowhere is this clearer than the post-Roe abortion fight. The Right spent 49 years quietly building the legal scaffolding to reverse it. Meanwhile, the Left treated Roe as settled. When it fell, progressives wailed—but had no fallback plan. No state-level fortifications. No legal infrastructure. The tortoise had already passed them.This isn't about intelligence. Progressives often mock conservatives as yokels—NASCAR fans, Jesus freaks, dip chewers. But a man who loves monster trucks may also have a 140 IQ, a 30-year plan, and a long memory. He doesn't waste time arguing online. He runs for school board. He takes the sheriff's seat. He teaches his kids to shoot, pray, and vote. Then, when the time comes, he acts—methodically, relentlessly.The hare laughs until the tortoise wins.There's a second metaphor here, and it must remain distinct: the frogs in the pot. These are not the activists. These are the normies. The moral majority. The 80% who tolerate change—until it starts to feel like a boil. Drag queen story hour. Pronoun policing. Puberty blockers for kids. Decolonized math. At some point, the temperature hits critical mass, and the frogs jump. Not toward the Left—but away from it.Progressives don't seem to understand this dynamic. They confuse silence for consent. But most Americans are simply conflict-averse. They'll tolerate the weirdness, up to a point. But the moment the cultural revolution starts targeting their children, redefining biology, or punishing dissent, they recoil. Then they vote Republican—not because they're cruel, but because they want the heat turned down.You cannot sprint people into transformation. You must shepherd them, carefully. The progressive movement acts like a sheepdog panicked by the slow herd. They bark louder. They nip at the heels. But push too hard, and the herd doesn't obey—it stampedes. The stampede tramples everything, including the cause itself.If progressives want to win long-term, they must understand what conservatives already know: the real race isn't won in viral moments. It's won through patient, generational strategy. Through zoning boards, state legislatures, curriculum policy, and quiet legal warfare. It's won by letting the hare exhaust itself in front of the cameras—while the tortoise lays the foundation for permanence behind the scenes.In American politics, the tortoise doesn't just finish the race.He builds the track.

Judicial scrutiny, vital for U.S. constitutional law, assesses if laws comply with the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses. It has three levels: Rational Basis Review (lenient, for non-fundamental rights), Intermediate Scrutiny (mid-tier, for quasi-suspect classifications like gender), and Strict Scrutiny (highest, for fundamental rights or suspect classifications like race, often "fatal in fact").The Equal Protection Clause, requiring similar treatment for similarly situated people, has evolved, notably expanding to corporations. However, "pluralism anxiety" has led to limitations on traditional, group-based civil rights by restricting heightened scrutiny classifications, foreclosing disparate impact claims without discriminatory intent, and curbing congressional enforcement powers under Section 5.Despite these limitations, the Court has shifted to "liberty-based dignity claims," using due process liberty analysis to protect subordinated groups, as seen in cases like Lawrence v. Texas (sodomy laws) and Roe v. Wade (abortion rights). This approach often frames rights universally, circumventing traditional scrutiny bars and Section 5 limitations.Critics argue the scrutiny framework has ambiguous boundaries, allows too much judicial discretion, is overly deferential in rational basis, and struggles with modern issues and intersectional discrimination.U.S. v. Skrmetti, addressing gender-affirming care for minors, is a pivotal case that will define the application of the Equal Protection Clause to transgender issues. Arguments revolve around whether the law discriminates on sex, age, or transgender status, and the state's justification for the ban. The outcome, expected in June 2025, will significantly impact equal protection jurisprudence.In conclusion, the scrutiny framework, while foundational, faces challenges in adapting to societal changes. The shift to liberty-based dignity claims offers a new avenue for protecting rights, but cases like Skrmetti highlight ongoing debates and the framework's future.

SummaryThis lecture discussion examines the dual dimensions of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments: procedural due process and substantive due process. Procedural due process ensures that the government follows fair methods before depriving individuals of life, liberty, or property. This includes notice and an opportunity to be heard, with requirements varying by context according to the Mathews v. Eldridge balancing test. Substantive due process protects certain fundamental rights from government intrusion regardless of the procedures used. The lecture traces the doctrine from its controversial origins in the Lochner era to its evolution in protecting rights related to privacy, autonomy, and family, including landmark decisions like Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Obergefell v. Hodges. It also discusses the role of selective incorporation, which applies most of the Bill of Rights to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. The lecture concludes by reflecting on due process as both a safeguard of individual liberties and a structural principle of fairness in American constitutional law.Key TakeawaysTwo Branches of Due Process:Procedural: Ensures fairness in how the government acts.Substantive: Limits what the government may do, protecting fundamental rights.Procedural Due Process:Triggered when life, liberty, or property is at stake.Assessed using the Mathews v. Eldridge three-part balancing test.Applied in both civil and criminal contexts (e.g., Goldberg v. Kelly, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld).Substantive Due Process:Protects deeply rooted rights not explicitly listed in the Constitution.Key cases: Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Lawrence v. Texas, Obergefell v. Hodges.Fundamental rights trigger strict scrutiny; non-fundamental rights require only rational basis review.Criticism and Defense:Critics: Lacks textual foundation; invites judicial activism.Defenders: Essential to protect liberty from majoritarian overreach.Selective Incorporation:Most of the Bill of Rights applies to states via the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.Ensures nationwide uniformity in core constitutional protections.Rule of Law Values:Due process also ensures clarity, predictability, and fairness in law (e.g., Papachristou v. Jacksonville)
There is a curious bravery in staying quiet. A paradox of power in invisibility. In the theater of reform, those who script the act are rarely the ones who survive its performance. We have, on one side, the conceptual vanguard—architects of utopia, fluent in white paper and panel discussion. On the other, the vulgarian proletariat, kinetic and uncontainable, arriving late to the table and eating with their hands.This friction—between design and deployment, theory and practice—is not a glitch. It's the mechanism. Every grand vision must, at some point, leave the seminar and enter the field. But when it does, it meets the brutal truth: the field has other plans. The neighborhood doesn't care about narrative arcs. It wants breakfast.Well-meaning policy grads summon food into deserts. Corporations offer flagship mercy. And ten years later, the stores close. The organism rejects the transplant. What remains are fortified bodegas, Korean groceries, and Chinese takeout joints with bulletproof glass and a menu optimized for chaos. These aren't monuments to equity—they're survivors. They're not supposed to thrive. But they do. They've adapted to entropy. They know the experiment was never designed for them.In every revolution, there's the moment of handoff: from the builder to the user, from the whiteboard to the street. And invariably, the user does something unexpected, sometimes profane. This is not betrayal. It's entropy. The vanguard might compare it to the marshmallow test: delayed gratification as virtue. But if you've been hungry for generations, you eat the marshmallow. You eat the experimenter. You rob the lab. That's not dysfunction—it's survival in a system that forgets your name between fiscal quarters.And yet, the spectacle continues. The vanguard insists. The credits roll with their names in bold. They are the stage moms of progress, the self-narrating functionaries of justice. They believe their scripts are reality. But reality prefers improv. And the crowd throws tomatoes.Let's talk archetypes. The gray man. He walks unnoticed. He grins stupidly while clocking exits. He performs cowardice to de-escalate, but inside is the glint of steel. The gray man does not demand applause. He knows survival is the reward. He has no need to post. He does not brand his ethics. But he builds. Quietly. Permanently.This author has worn that costume. As a kid in Hawaii, survival meant disappearing. Smile. Duck. Wait. Sometimes the coward is a bear in a windbreaker. You don't want to find out the hard way.While the left has produced many performers, the right has trained technicians. The overturning of Roe was not street theater—it was actuarial vengeance, born in filing cabinets, whispered through internships, built brick by brick by people you'll never meet. The gray men won that war. And nobody noticed until the building was rubble.Compare that to the Wag the Dog moment—the director who insists on credit gets killed. The lesson is not metaphor. It is survival protocol. Stay out of the credits. Do the work. Disappear.Cities, too, are containment fields. They are rubber rooms. Creative people board buses to them seeking freedom and find curated confinement. The wildness is tolerated—celebrated, even—as long as it remains quarantined. The lab coats are monitoring your behavior. And if the experiment becomes self-aware, it's quietly euthanized.The airlock is a better metaphor. Many believe they've boarded the ship, that they're on mission. But they're still in the transitional chamber. They've been rubber-roomed. And most never leave. They perform revolution under observation, inside a room built by the very system they think they're dismantling.This is not a condemnation. It is a caution. Speak softly. Carry a data set. Build what outlasts applause.Because the sword that cleaves the world is not the one you see coming. And the ones who seek credit almost never survive the sequel.
In 2024 alone, 1.14 million abortions—3,100 per day—were performed in America. But since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, has that number increased like the speculations claim? In this episode, Stephen explains how the overturning of Roe v. Wade didn't reduce abortions but shifted them to new methods like Telehealth and medication. With moral clarity, Stephen challenges listeners to consider what our laws say about the value of human life.LEARN MORE:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/X: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade three years ago, the question of abortion's legality and availability returned to the states. As of now, abortion remains broadly legal in more than 30 states and Washington, D.C. In some, like Kansas, Missouri and Montana, abortion is still legal largely because of voters. But while Trump spent a lot of time on the campaign trail trying to avoid the topic of abortion, his new tax and spending law proves that the GOP has stayed laser focused on restricting the rights of everyday Americans. It contains a provision that prevents health care nonprofits like Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion care provider, from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for one year for ANY services – even those not related to abortion. Mary Ziegler, a professor at UC Davis School of Law who focuses on the history and politics of reproduction, healthcare and conservatism, explains how the new law could limit your ability to access health care and threaten Planned Parenthood.And in headlines: Trump announced the U.S. will send Patriot missiles to Ukraine, a bunch of states sued the Trump administration for withholding money for after-school care and English language programs, and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he'll stay in the race to be New York City's next mayor.Show Notes:Check out Mary's work – workstatecourtreport.org/about/mary-zieglerCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
Join hosts Clay Edwards, Shaun Yurtkuran, and Lindsey Beckham for another raw, unfiltered dive into the issues shaping America on Uncensored Live. Streaming live every Sunday through Thursday at 8 PM on our social media channels (Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble @SaveJXN or Clay Edwards Show), this nightly show delivers honest conversations without the spin. In Episode 7—our second Monday in a row—we're feeling energized and ready to tackle the tough topics, from border policies to historical close calls and beyond. If you missed our underwhelming performance last night (thanks to a killer headache), we're redeeming ourselves tonight! We kick off with some behind-the-scenes fun: tech glitches in the studio (why can Lindsey hear Clay loud and clear but not Shaun?), a pitch for a new show name—"Unfiltered" instead of "Uncensored" for a fresh twist—and a shoutout to Clay's merch site where you can snag the OG FAFO shirt for just $15 in 2XL (gray or black available now!). The heart of the episode is a fiery recap of Shaun and Lindsey's daytime show Crossing the Aisle on WYAB (12-1 PM weekdays), where sparks flew over immigration polling numbers showing only 38% of Americans supporting the current administration's mass immigration policies. We debate Shaun's analogy of the long-time Home Depot worker who's been in the U.S. for 20 years—criminal or not? Clay argues that illegal entry makes one a criminal by definition, while Shaun pushes for nuance, prioritizing dangerous offenders first as per Trump's campaign promises. Lindsey weighs in on pathways to citizenship for non-violent contributors who've paid taxes and built lives here. We explore employer accountability: should businesses face penalties for knowingly hiring undocumented workers via fake IDs or third-party agencies? Google dives reveal civil fines up to $3,000 per employee and potential jail time, plus real-world examples like ICE raids on Mississippi chicken plants. The conversation evolves into cultural insights—praising Hispanic work ethic and community integration while contrasting it with challenges from other groups like Haitians in Miami or Muslims in England, as discussed on Patrick Bet-David's podcast. We reflect on the one-year anniversary of the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, PA, replaying the chilling audio and appreciating Trump's defiant "fight, fight, fight" moment. What if he'd been killed? We avoided civil unrest, conspiracy-fueled wars among Americans, and a chaotic GOP nomination floor fight (Nikki Haley as frontrunner?). Plus, thoughts on potential deepfakes, Biden conspiracies, and how history might remember this iconic event with statues someday. Diving deeper, we touch on birth rates (Hispanics lead, potentially shifting demographics post-Roe), language assimilation (learn Spanish to bridge gaps while insisting on English?), and why American Christians are drilled to defend Israel unquestioningly—questioning if it's the same biblical Israel amid modern geopolitics and accusations of genocide in Gaza. We call out biases: criticizing Israel's government isn't antisemitism, just as critiquing Jackson, MS, isn't racism. Local flavor includes a Hattiesburg attorney arrested for allegedly embezzling $450K from a widow's settlement—his second rodeo after voter fraud charges. We discuss bar association oversight and how some start corrupt young. Entertainment roundup: Highly recommend Sinners (vampires in 1920s Clarksdale juke joints—think Crossroads meets Dusk Till Dawn); skip the new Gladiator. Excitement for F1 with Brad Pitt, but mixed on Superman and Fantastic Four. Super chats from fans like Peekaboo, Angela (Mic Magazine), AB, Matthew Gibson, and more—thanks for the support!

Carter Sherman, reproductive health reporter at The Guardian joins Michael with her book "The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future." They explore how politics, technology, and social norms are reshaping the way young Americans think about and experience sex. From "hookup culture" to the "sex recession," and from Roe v. Wade to TikTok, this conversation dives deep into the evolving sexual landscape—and the clash between sexual conservatism and progressivism defining it. Original air date 11 July 2025. The book was published on 24 June 2025.

Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review Summerfest lager from Sierra Nevada, then dive into the most consequential U.S. Supreme Court decisions handed down since the Dobbs ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.We explore the Court's growing willingness to redraw the legal map on race, religion, executive power, parental rights, and the limits of judicial authority. Highlights include:Affirmative Action Implosion: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ends race-based college admissions.Free Speech vs. Anti-Discrimination: In 303 Creative v. Elenis, religious liberty takes precedence over LGBTQ protections.Executive Power Check: Biden v. Nebraska smacks down student loan forgiveness via the HEROES Act.Trump v.

Paxton: Age verification for online porn upheld, raising quiet questions about whether obscenity should be protected speech at all.Mahmoud v. Taylor: Do public schools have the right to impose moral instruction against parents' religious beliefs?Riley v. Bondi: A case on the expedited removal of a Jamaican immigrant underscores due process boundaries.Medina v. Planned Parenthood: Can states exclude abortion providers from Medicaid reimbursement?We break down what these decisions mean for American law and society, and where the Court may go next. Whether you see these rulings as a return to constitutional sanity or a shift toward reactionary retrenchment, the terrain is shifting fast.

In today's episode of the Center for Baptist Leadership podcast, William Wolfe sits down with Robert Burns, Mayor of Monroe in North Carolina, to discuss political persecution for being an outspoken Christian leader. Robert Burns is the Mayor of Monroe, North Carolina, elected in November 2023 after a historic coin-toss victory following a tied election with 970 votes. A Christian, husband, and father of six, Burns is a conservative Republican known for his outspoken leadership and commitment to economic growth, public safety, and family values. He has focused on revitalizing downtown Monroe, expanding infrastructure, and attracting new industries. Burns, a newcomer to politics, emphasizes transparency and community engagement, often using social media and his YouTube channel to connect with residents. His tenure has faced controversy, including a 2024 censure by the Monroe City Council over a proclamation celebrating the Roe v. Wade reversal and a 2025 no-confidence vote for his communication style and use of city branding. Despite this, Burns remains committed to making Monroe a thriving, family-friendly city.

With clarity and conviction, she highlights CMDA's ongoing role in defending the unborn, protecting pregnancy centers, and standing for truth in a post-Roe world. Whether or not you've attended a CMDA gathering in person, this episode offers a glimpse into the passion, purpose, and unity that defines our mission.
Send us a textIn this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Peaches dives headfirst into the latest national defense chaos—from Humvees rolling through LA to Marines moonlighting as ICE support in Florida. Pete Hegseth wants to bring the warrior spirit back (because apparently we lost it), and Jared's not buying the sudden patriotism unless you're ready to pull bodies from burning cars. Meanwhile, retired four-stars are back in the game pushing for E-7s and more F-35s… but who's paying them now? The Academy is bleeding staff, a nuclear microreactor is going to Alaska (because obviously), and the Air Force just teamed up with AI-piloted Valkyrie drones like it's Skynet 2.0. Also—yes, the Space Force canceled something big. Again. Strap in, nerds.
Hoy en martecito tuvimos... “El héroe del día”, con las mejores historias de esos salvadores sin capa .. Samuel rReyes con los ”Ya Paratextos” y las mejores recomendaciones literarias... Y en “La hora de los niños”... nos contaron chisme y chistes...
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Glenn Beck about the dangers of political purity tests on the right; why Texas is in danger of losing it's conservative status; the threat of liberal transplants changing red states; the failure of CEOs to educate employees on why they left blue states; how Austin could turn Texas blue; the growing alliance between Islamists, communists, anarchists, and socialists to dismantle Western civilization; how the left normalized radicals within the Democratic Party; the far left's long-term strategy to undermine the U.S.; his massive historic memorabilia collection; Beck's upcoming museum project and White House collaboration; his rare items like Jesse Owens' Olympic torch, Darth Vader's helmet, and Dorothy's ruby slippers; his acquisition of the original Roe v. Wade case files, which reveal hidden ties between abortion rights advocates and far-left movements; and much more.
America is turning 250. And we're throwing a yearlong celebration of the greatest country on Earth. The greatest? Yes. The greatest. We realize that's not a popular thing to say these days. Americans have a way of taking this country for granted: a Gallup poll released earlier this week shows that American pride has reached a new low. And the world at large, which is wealthier and freer than it has ever been in history thanks to American power and largesse, often resents us. We get it. As journalists, we spend most of our time finding problems and exposing them. It's what the job calls for. But if you only focus on the negatives, you get a distorted view of reality. As America hits this milestone birthday, it's worthwhile to take a moment to step back and look closely at where we actually are—and the reality of life in America today compared to other times and places. That reality is pretty spectacular. Could Thomas Jefferson and the men gathered in Philadelphia who wrote down the words that made our world—“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”—ever have imagined what their Declaration of Independence would bring? The Constitution. The end of slavery—and the defeat of Hitler. Astonishing wealth and medical breakthroughs. Silicon Valley. The most powerful military in the world. The moon landing. Hollywood. The Hoover Dam. The Statue of Liberty (a gift from France). Actual liberation (a thing we gave France). Humphrey Bogart and Tom Hanks. Josephine Baker and Beyoncé. Hot dogs. Corn dogs. American Chinese food. American Italian food. The Roosevelts and the Kennedys. The Barrymores and the Fondas. Winston Churchill (his mom was from Brooklyn). The Marshall Plan and Thurgood Marshall. Star Wars. Missile-defense shields. Baseball. Football. The military-industrial complex. Freedom of religion. UFO cults. Television. The internet. The Pill. The Pope. The automobile, the airplane, and AI. Jazz and the blues. The polio vaccine and GLP-1s, the UFC and Dolly Parton. The list goes on because it's really, truly endless. Ours is a country where you can hear 800 languages spoken in Queens, drive two hours and end up among the Amish in Pennsylvania. We are 330 million people, from California to New York Island, gathered together as one. Each of those 330 million will tell you that ours is not a perfect country. But we suspect most of them would agree that their lives would not be possible without it. So for the next 12 months, we're going to toast to our freedoms on the page, on this podcast and in real life. And we're doing it the Free Press way: by delving into all of it—the bad and the good and the great, the strange and the wonderful and the wild. And today—on America's 249th birthday—we're kicking off this yearlong event with none other than Akhil Reed Amar. Akhil has a unique understanding of this country—and our Constitution. Akhil is a Democrat who testified on behalf of Brett Kavanaugh, is a member of The Federalist Society, who is pro-choice but also anti-Roe—and these seeming contradictions make him perfectly suited to answer questions about the political and legal polarization we find ourselves in today. Akhil is a constitutional law professor at Yale and the author of the brilliant book The Words That Made Us: America's Constitutional Conversation, 1760–1840. He also hosts the podcast Amarica's Constitution, and you might recognize his name from his work in The Atlantic. I ask him about the unique history that created our founding document, the state of the country, our political polarization, the American legal system, and what this country means to him.

This week on Gaslit Nation, we're joined by the fearless, brilliant Carter Sherman, an award-winning journalist at The Guardian and one of the sharpest voices covering reproductive rights and sexual politics. Her new book, The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future, is a battle cry for Gen Z, a generation navigating the fallout of a stolen Supreme Court, Me Too, incel culture, and a pornified internet. We dive into how young people are rewriting the rules of intimacy in the face of political oppression. Carter's reporting brings us inside the bedrooms and minds of Gen Zers who are coming of age in a country where Roe v. Wade was overturned exactly as we knew it would be. A generation told they're free is now wrestling with the reality that their rights are under siege, and for many, that anxiety has become physical. As one woman told Carter, she couldn't even have sex without being hounded by Kavanaugh's voice in her head. This isn't just a story of fear; it's one of resistance. Carter shares how young people are pushing back, from Kansas voters defending abortion rights to college students canvassing in swing states. But she also warns of the growing threat: the rise of the Manosphere, where boys are radicalized by algorithm and learn to hate women before they can legally drink. What can young women and young men agree on? That the Democratic Party brand is toxic, because it's Republican Lite. The Second Coming is a deeply reported, fiercely human portrait of a generation caught between tech, trauma, and tyranny. This week's bonus show will look at the horror of Trump's Big Evil Bill passing through Congress, and our discussion of Lillian Faderman's landbook book The Gay Revolution–a resistance blueprint for us today.

From ICU to birth center, Liz Carr's story is a reminder that midwives come to this work through many paths, and each journey holds wisdom for the future of maternal care. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker reconnects with former nursing student turned certified nurse midwife, Liz Carr. Liz shares her unique trajectory: from critical care nursing to catching babies, from witnessing obstetric violence as a student to providing trauma-informed, evidence-based midwifery care. Liz and Rebecca explore the impact of diverse clinical experiences, the challenges of navigating midwifery school without labor and delivery experience, and the transformative power of reproductive justice. Liz also opens up about working in abortion care before and after the fall of Roe v. Wade, how she centers consent and autonomy in every interaction, and why investing in the education of future physicians is one of her biggest hopes for change.

This week marks three years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, in an historic ruling that changed the landscape of abortion access. Since that decision came down, abortion rates across the country have actually increased, despite many states enacting abortion bans or severely restricting abortion access. One way many women are still accessing abortion is through abortion pills. The Network is a new series by Futuro Media and our colleagues at NPR's Embedded that looks at the surprising history of how the use of abortion pills began in Latin America and eventually spread around the world, including to the U.S.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
