The repeal of Roe v. Wade in 2022 resulted in increased protections against abortion in some states and, tragically, deregulation in others like Michigan. Amid so much change, the EOJ team is reflecting on what has not changed: our commitment to building a culture of life, in part by renewing efforts to accompany women and families facing difficult pregnancies.0:28 – Archbishop Vigneron, Mike, and Mary greet each other and catch up on the past month. 0:48 – Archbishop Vigneron talks about celebrating Mass at Sacred Heart Major Seminary on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and delivering a lecture to seminarians on hope as exemplified in the Blessed Virgin Mary and how hope needs to be at the heart of a priest's ministry. 3:29 – Mary asks the Archbishop to share some thoughts about how Catholic families can observe Advent.

In early November the New York Times released a poll that had Donald Trump clearly ahead in 5 of the 6 battleground states that will decide the 2024 election. It caused an earthquake and outright panic among (small-d) democrats. But just two days later, Democrats emerged victorious from an actual election. What on earth is going on in American politics right now? What are we to make of poll after poll claiming that Trump is on a path back to the White House? Do they tell us anything about what's actually going on in the electorate? How should Democrats react in this situation?   There is no one else better equipped to discuss these questions – and shatter a few well-entrenched myths about elections and politics in the process – than Michael Podhorzer. He was, until recently, the long-time political director of the AFL-CIO and is now a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. And Mike is, without any exaggeration, a legend in progressive policy circles, having been instrumental in building and organizing an infrastructure for data-driven and evidence-based progressive politics. He is also someone who thinks deeply and sincerely about American politics and combines that with decades of experience as a leading progressive strategist and campaigner. The result is a clarity that few other political observers can rival – something he demonstrates regularly in his Weekend Reading Substack newsletter, in which he offers some of the very best political analysis out there.   We talk with Mike about why horse-race polling is “worse than useless” and should be ignored entirely; we dissect the dogma of “popularism” that is extremely influential in Democratic politics – even though (or, perhaps: precisely because) it offers white male identity politics rather than an adequate diagnosis or campaign strategy; and we discuss what's actually going on in the electorate: Why there is so much frustration in U.S. society; the massive impact of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision; and why the pervasive idea of “education polarization” sanitizes and obscures the fault lines that actually shape U.S. politics.      Show notes: Michael Podhorzer's Weekend Reading Substack newsletter: https://www.weekendreading.net/ Follow The Show⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Follow Thomas⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Follow Lily⁠⁠ This episode was produced by ⁠⁠Connor Lynch

Join podcast host Angela Chaudhari, MD, for the fifth episode of Parts and Labor on a captivating discussion with Northwestern Medicine complex family planning experts Cassing Hammond, MD, Leanne R. McCloskey, MD, and Ashley M. Turner, MD, as they explore the evolution of this crucial OB-GYN subspecialty. The distinguished panel explains what complex family planning is, explores how best to raise awareness among clinical staff regarding patient options, and shares thoughts on the impacts of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.

Tustin officials are letting the U.S. Navy hangar fire die out on its own and telling residents to stay inside, as crews with hazmat gear clean up public areas.  Makeshift businesses — like in mechanical engineering and textile industries — existed under the section of the 10 freeway that recently burned. Those workers lost everything. The 366-foot-tall Vegas entertainment orb known as Sphere is drawing crowds for its U2 residency. West Hollywood and Santa Monica are exploring building similar structures. Since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade last summer, anti-abortion measures have lost in every state where they've been on the ballot. Funghi trifolati, an Italian antipasti dish, features mushrooms sautéed in olive oil with garlic and parsley. Mushrooms can also be stuffed, and they go well in barley soup.

Since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in June 2022, the GOP has repeatedly paid a price electorally for its stance on abortion. The chaos has been dispiriting to the anti-abortion activists who helped engineer the Dobbs decision in the first place. And now they think they have a new political strategy to get Republicans out of their defensive crouch and to start winning again on this issue.  The woman leading this effort is Marjorie Dannenfelser, the head of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, one of the most important institutions in the GOP firmament. She's known as the woman who killed Roe. Dannenfelser and her colleagues are plotting, financing, and staffing the Republican Party's counter attack on abortion. Playbook co-author and Deep Dive host Ryan Lizza sat down with her at SBA's Virginia headquarters this week, partly because she had some news she wanted to share about how and where anti-abortion activists are making their first big move. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Marjorie Dannenfelser is the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

It is separate from the iconic Capitol building but is considered part of the Capitol complex. It is the oldest congressional office building on Capitol Hill. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who falsely accused Israel of bombing a Gaza hospital Tuesday, addressed the protesters. Fox 5 in Washington, DC, reported: A large group of pro-Palestinian protesters are demonstrating inside the Cannon Rotunda on Capitol Hill. The Cannon House Office Building holds the House Committee offices. U.S. Capitol Police say demonstrations are not allowed inside Congressional Buildings and are working to clear the crowd. Police have already detained some individuals as chants of “ceasefire” are echoing around the building. Left-wing protesters have staged demonstrations inside the Capitol before, but none have been treated the way participants in the January 6, 2021 protesters have been treated, many of whom were detained and given harsh sentences for non-violent offenses. The U.S. has seen anti-Israel protests in major cities and on college campuses since a Hamas terror attack Oct. 7 killed 1,400 Israelis and wounded roughly 4,400 more. About 200 people — including some Americans — were taken to Gaza as hostages. FBI Director Christopher Wray called the Capitol riot “domestic terrorism.” In this case, the pro-Palestinian protest is supporting terrorism against Israelis and Americans; a ceasefire would allow Hamas to escape without consequences for its atrocities. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/israel-war-harvard-columbia-students-lose-job-offer-law-firm Harvard and Columbia students lose law firm job offer for anti-Israel stance A major law firm has rescinded its offer of employment to three students at Harvard and Columbia law schools who endorsed statements that blamed Israel for a series of terrorist attacks by Hamas. The law firm Davis Polk notified employees in an internal email that the firm had withdrawn job offers to three students from Harvard and Columbia who had signed statements that blamed the Israeli government for the attacks by Hamas. The Columbia statement went further and said the attacks were justified acts of resistance. The attacks and the subsequent military response by Israel have claimed the lives of more than 4,000 people. “These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees,” the firm said in the email to employees. The firm's action is the latest example of students losing employment offers because of their support for the statement. Ryna Workman, a law student at New York University and the president of the student bar association, lost an employment offer from the law firm Winston & Strawn after supporting a statement that said: “Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life.” In addition to withdrawn job offers, other prominent figures have urged that the students be named publicly and face professional consequences. A number of the 31 student groups who signed the Harvard statement have since withdrawn their support for the statement. Billionaire Bill Ackman, a Harvard alum, asked that the names of the students who signed the statement be publicly released "so as to ensure that none of us inadvertently hire any of their members." Sweetgreen CEO Jonathan Neman echoed Ackman, saying, "I would like to know so I know never to hire these people." https://www.theblaze.com/news/sen-vances-new-bill-would-protect-mothers-who-exit-the-workforce-to-care-for-their-babies-from-undue-healthcare-costs Sen. Vance's new bill would protect mothers who exit the workforce to care for their babies from undue health care costs Republican Sens. J.D. Vance (Ohio) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) introduced legislation Tuesday that would ensure that mothers "who choose to prioritize their child's early development and recover rather than return to work" after giving birth won't be retroactively stripped of their health care premiums for having done so. Currently, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 requires covered companies with over 50 employees to give their workers 12 weeks of unpaid medical leave in a 12-month period for the birth of a child as well as in cases of adoption. Furthermore, it requires the "continuation of their group health benefits under the same conditions as if they had not taken leave." The bill, entitled "Fairness for Stay-At-Home Parents Act," would amend the FMLA to "prohibit an employer from recovering any health care premium paid by the employer for an employee if the employee fails to return to work due to the birth of a child, and for other purposes." In addition to preventing clawbacks, the legislation would have employers continue their health premium contributions for the duration of the 12-week leave. "Our laws should not penalize new parents who choose to stay home to care for their newborn babies," Vance said in a statement. "We should celebrate and promote young families, not punish them. This legislation would relieve a serious financial burden for working families all over America and steer Washington in a more pro-family direction." America appears to be in dire need of a "pro-family direction." The U.S. Census Bureau revealed in November 2022 that less than 24% of children under the age of 15 living in normal families had a stay-at-home mother. Only 1% had a stay-at-home father. The Pew Research Center indicated that as of 2021, 26% of mothers stayed home with their children and 7% of fathers stayed home with their children. According to the Mayo Clinic, over half of women return to work after their maternity leave. Not only are fewer people staying home to raise their children, but fewer Americans are having children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated in a June report that the provisional number of births in the U.S. for 2022 was just over 3.6 million, a decline from the previous year. The fertility rate was 56.1 per 1,000 women ages 15-44. This figure is roughly half of what the rate was in the 1960s and more or less on par with the rate in 2020, which was the lowest rate on record. The New York Times noted in 2018 that one of the key drivers behind Americans having fewer or no children is financial insecurity. A poll conducted by USA Today last year confirmed that was still the case. About 46% of respondents suggested their personal financial situation influenced their planned or current childlessness; 40% indicated work-life balance was at least partly to blame. The Washington Examiner noted that financial struggles hit parents straight out the gate. The national average cost of child delivery in a hospital exceeds $18,000, or $3,000 out of pocket for those with insurance. The 12-week reprieve that some parents might find as a result of Vance's bill could go a long way. "The Fairness for Stay-At-Home Parents Act supports mothers' and parents' invaluable role in raising the next generation," said Rubio, the original co-sponsor of Vance's bill. "This legislation stops employers from imposing harsh financial penalties if a parent decides not to return to work after unpaid leave, and it empowers families to make choices that prioritize the well-being of their children." Rubio, like Vance, appears keen on bolstering the family. Following the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling, Rubio released a pro-family framework, stressing the "need to adopt pro-life policies that support families, rather than destroy them." Among the proposals in the Florida senator's framework were an expansion to the child tax credit; an allowance for new parents to pull forward up to three months of their Social Security benefits to finance paid parental leave; tax relief for adoptive parents; expanded support for pro-life crisis pregnancy centers; and the establishment of a grant program funding integrated mentoring services for poor mothers. Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the Manhattan Institute's Brian Riedl prophesied to the Washington Post that Republicans would likely take a stronger lead on bolstering the family beyond just sparing the unborn from mass extermination. "I could see if Republicans decide that abortion politics are working against them, there could be a push for child-care benefits, more maternal health care, and better adoption services to make it easy and more affordable for more mothers to carry the babies to term," said Riedl. "It would put their money where their mouth is when challenged on making it easier for mothers to afford their children and get their health care." https://www.outkick.com/conor-mcgregor-no-charges-nba-finals-heat-sexual-assault-allegation/ CONOR MCGREGOR WON’T FACE CHARGES AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT DURING NBA FINALS Conor McGregor won’t face charges stemming from allegations he sexually assaulted a woman during the NBA Finals. McGregor was accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her in the bathroom of Kaseya Center during a Heat/Nuggets NBA Finals game, and the UFC star always maintained he didn’t do anything wrong. Prosecutors have now decided there is “insufficient evidence” to pursue the situation further, according to TMZ. Authorities also cited “contradicting and/or no corroborating witnesses” as another reason for why no charges will be brought. “In light of the above facts and circumstances, the State would not be able to satisfy its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” prosecutors wrote in a closeout memo, according to the same TMZ report. The woman initially claimed security separated her from her friends to get her in a bathroom with McGregor, but video of the situation told a very different story. She was filmed entering the bathroom with McGregor on her own freewill, and nobody was forcing her to go anywhere. TMZ also reported she was seen at a club with McGregor AFTER they left the bathroom together where she alleged she was assaulted. An attendant outside the bathroom told authorities they “did not hear any signs of distress or sounds that would corroborate that whatever was occurring was not consensual.” McGregor’s attorney told TMZ, “After a thorough investigation, including a review of videos and interviews with eyewitnesses, the authorities have concluded that there is no case to pursue against my client, Conor McGregor. On behalf of my client, his family and his fans we are pleased this is now over.” The situation is now behind McGregor, and that means he can focus on getting back in the octagon.

Before the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, there was S.B. 8—a Texas law that prohibited any abortion after 6 weeks, essentially banning it entirely in the state. In this episode, we hear from healthcare workers in and around Texas.

This week The Axe Files team is sharing an episode of CNN's The Assignment with Audie Cornish. One year after Roe v Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, we were wondering: what is happening to people caught up in the web of changing law? It's been a tumultuous and uncertain era for reproductive rights, so this week The Assignment checks in on the activists at the frontline defending women who are being criminally prosecuted under state laws that restrict or ban abortion. Amanda Allen, Senior Counsel and Director at the Lawyering Project, and Dana Sussman, Acting Executive Director at Pregnancy Justice, speak to Audie about their work in this post-Dobbs world.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

As we mark the first anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, we continue our interview with Amy Littlefield, abortion access correspondent for The Nation.

A year ago, the staff writer Emily Witt visited Fargo, North Dakota, to report on the Red River Women's Clinic—the only abortion provider in the state. The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision had just come down, and the clinic was scrambling to move across state lines, to the adjacent city of Moorhead, Minnesota. This spring, Witt returned to talk with Tammi Kromenaker, the clinic's director. Kromenaker says the clinic's new home has had some notable upsides—a parking lot that shields patients from protesters, for example—but North Dakota patients are increasingly fearful as they reach out, afraid even to cross the state line into Minnesota for care. “It only takes one rogue prosecutor,” she tells Witt. “I think people know that and have it in the back of their minds.” Kromenaker herself is experiencing what she calls “survivor's guilt,” recognizing how lucky she's been in comparison to her peers in other conservative states. “It's just been a really hard year in a lot of ways for providers.”

Planned Parenthood says it will close some of its centers in Iowa but will increase services at other locations. Some of Iowa's top Democrats marked the first anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision by pledging to fight to keep abortion legal in the state. Plus, some cities are putting conservation measures in place to keep their water supplies from drying up.

On the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law a bill that will protect New York providers who prescribe medication abortions to pregnant people in other states where the practice has been outlawed.

Senate rejects repeal of Biden's pistol brace rule. Chelsea Clinton reflects on the upcoming one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision. The Federal Reserve chair says interest rate hikes are on the way.

A year ago, the staff writer Emily Witt visited Fargo, North Dakota, to report on the Red River Women's Clinic—the only abortion provider in the state. The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision had just come down, and the clinic was scrambling to move across state lines, to the adjacent city of Moorhead, Minnesota. This spring, Witt returned to talk with Tammi Kromenaker, the clinic's director. Kromenaker says the clinic's new home has had some notable upsides—a parking lot that shields patients from protestors, for example—but North Dakota patients are increasingly fearful as they reach out for care, afraid even to cross the state line for an abortion. Plus, The New Yorker's Alex Ross discusses John Williams, who has written scores for generations of blockbusters, including “Jaws,” “Star Wars,” “Harry Potter,” and many films of Steven Spielberg. Ross considers him the last practitioner of Hollywood's grand orchestral tradition, and his retirement will mark the end of an era in music: at ninety-one years old, Williams has said that his score for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” may be his last.

Massachusetts has not experienced much of the political turmoil triggered by the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, which ended the constitutional right to an abortion. But the state is feeling the effects of a deepening divide on abortion playing out across the country.

Less than three weeks until Election Day, longtime anti-abortion rights activist Marjorie Dannenfelser says Republican candidates should be leaning into abortion as a winning conservative issue — not running away. A raft of Republican candidates, many of whom won primaries touting support for the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision have moderated their positions in the general election or de-emphasized abortion as a campaign issue."I am most seriously displeased," Dannenfelser said, quoting the novel "Pride and Prejudice." "Most seriously displeased that people who think that this is the death of a human being would all of a sudden see it politically inconvenient to be part of what they advocate."Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, blamed some Republicans for "inch[ing] to the middle, maybe the back of the bus" on abortion as Election Day approaches.It's lunchtime at The Point in DC's Buzzard Point neighborhood.

In recent months, over 70 pregnancy resource centers have been firebombed. Federal and local law enforcement authorities did not prosecute the violent attackers. Militant Pro-Life groups like Jane's Revenge were given a pass. No arrests were made. But the government did not just slow walk cases. They sided against the attackers' victims. Politicians pledged to investigate the pregnancy resource centers that were still smoldering. The FBI deployed large SWAT-style teams to arrest Pro-Life Christians on bogus charges in front of their wives and children. The process appeared designed to punish; the hallmarks of an intentional harassment campaign. All this and more has unfolded in recent months following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision. That ruling overturned Roe v. Wade and returned abortion policy decisions to the states. Powerful elites, along with the multibillion-dollar abortion industry, raged in response. What should Christians do when they are targeted for peacefully championing Life? Or simply being faithful in increasingly faithless cultures? How can Christians navigate the intimidation and pressures coming their way? How might God be moving in the midst of this darkness? Reverend Jim Harden joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to share insights from his own experience. The CEO of CompassCare, Jim oversees pregnancy centers in New York. One of their pregnancy centers was firebombed by Pro-Abortion extremists. You will gain valuable insights from his perspective.

WNYC/Gothamist senior political reporter Brigid Bergin hosts a conversation about how abortion rights as an issue is playing a role in this year's midterms. Abortion Access In New York StateFirst, a look at how abortion has played a role in the race to be New York's governor. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, New York State Senate Majority Leader (D-35), was on the air with Brigid when the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision was handed down. Four months later, she brings her analysis on how the conversation has evolved, and how the issue is motivating NY voters this midterm season.

Sen. Lindsey Graham introduces a bill to allow abortion up to 15 weeks of gestation, just after the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision said abortion is not a Constitutional right. Is Graham just trying to save the slim GOP Senate majority in a 'practical' way, or caving to Progressive immorality as Republicans often do. Compromise is the name of the game in politics, but when it comes to life and death, compromise is complicity. Meanwhile, Dr. Phil struggles to counter the scientific logic and heartfelt compassion of Lila Rose, founder and president Live Action, the anti-abortion organization. Shouldn't a veteran Republican Senator have as much backbone as 34-year-old Lila Rose?

A recent photo essay in The Atlantic documented dozens of pro-abortion demonstrations around the country following the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling. Protesters, often dressed like handmaids from Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, seem to believe the Court has taken something away from them. Even the article's description blames the justices for “removing a federal right to an abortion.”  In reality, the majority's decision in the Dobbs case did not change a single abortion law. What they did was end the Supreme Court's 49-year-old intervention that took the abortion question out of the hands of elected lawmakers, and therefore out of the hands of the American people. Now, thanks to this ruling, voters can, for the first time in a generation, decide the issue democratically by going to the ballot box and making their voices heard.  Of course, any law that allows for the killing of unborn children is unjust and morally unacceptable, even if it is the will of voters. So, the ultimate goal for Christians should be that abortion is not only illegal in all 50 states, but unthinkable in the modern world, swept into the dustbin of history like other historic evils. Obviously, given the reaction to the Dobbs decision, this will involve changing a lot of hearts and minds.   Still, the ruling in Dobbs is an incredible victory and important step in restoring the rule of law in this country and putting the question of abortion before the people. Roe was a legal disaster that was used for decades to swat down any state-level regulations on abortion and silence voters who wanted those regulations in place. As Ryan Anderson and Alexandra DeSanctis write in their new book, Tearing Us Apart,   [Roe] removed nearly every question about abortion policy from the hands of the American people and placed the issue into the hands of unelected judges, even though the Constitution contains nothing that could remotely support a right to abortion.  Former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, someone who was far from pro-life, described the judiciary's attitude on this issue as “the abortion distortion.” According to Justice O'Connor, “no legal rule or doctrine is safe from ad hoc nullification by this Court when an occasion for its application arises in a case involving state regulation of abortion.” In other words, she saw that her fellow left-leaning justices were willing to use specious arguments to prop up abortion rights, even when they meant ignoring established norms and precedent. In fact, even the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a strong supporter of the so-called “right to choose,” admitted that, in legal terms, Roe was a “heavy-handed judicial intervention.”   Not only does Dobbs represent a moment when the Supreme Court is giving up power and returning it to the states, but it may place America much more in line with the rest of the developed world on the abortion issue. Believe it or not, American law on abortion, thanks in a big part to Roe, has been more in line with the laws of repressive, totalitarian regimes than other liberal democracies.   As Anderson and DeSanctis note, only seven countries, including North Korea   permit elective abortion after twenty weeks of pregnancy. U.S. abortion policy is far more permissive even than the policies in most European countries. Thirty-nine of the forty-two European countries that allow elective abortion permit it only in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.   To put that in perspective, we are told that the Mississippi law at the heart of the Dobbs case is comparable to Margaret Atwood's fictional sexist dystopia. But the reality is that in prohibiting elective abortion after 15 weeks, the law made Mississippi comparable to such sexist dystopias as…well, France.   Considering these facts, it's difficult to understand the extreme reaction many in the pro-abortion camp have had to this ruling. The justices didn't change a single law. What they did was return the issue to the states, and thus, the voters. The process now unfolding in all 50 states is one the Supreme Court short-circuited almost 50 years ago by making the decision for us and inventing a constitutional right to an abortion.   As Anderson and DeSanctis note, this “heavy-handed” intervention corrupted our political process, undermined the will of voters, and fostered a mentality among progressives that whatever they couldn't win support for in legislatures, they could demand from the Supreme Court. In Dobbs, six of the justices appear to be signaling that things will no longer work this way.   Of course, progressive states will entrench abortion in law, meaning lives will continue to be snuffed out in this country by white-clad professionals practicing what they call “healthcare.” Until that changes, our work for justice must continue. But thanks to this ruling, laws designed to save young lives will no longer be snuffed out by black-robed lawyers practicing what they call “Constitutional law.” 

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Hadley Arkes, the founder and director of the James Wilson Institute and professor at Amherst College, joins Federalist Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to analyze the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson decision and evaluate whether the ruling went far enough.

A growing number of Leftist commentators in the media suggest that the pro-life victory in the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision is nearly the worst thing that could happen to Republicans and Conservatives politically. In other words, the dog caught its own tail and now doesn't know what do to with it. Are Conservatives that dimwitted? Will Republicans pay the price at the polls?
