  • Gender-Affirming Care Gets Its Day at SCOTUS
    Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, a case out of Tennessee that could determine whether trans minors have the right to gender-affirming care. In this rapid reaction episode, Jess and Imani break down the case made by Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar and the American Civil Liberties Union’s Chase Strangio, the conservative justices’ nonsense, heartless arguments, and what they’re expecting to come out of Skrmetti. The Court’s conservatives showed a clear disdain for gender-affirming care—but regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear: Skrmetti  won’t be the end of the fight against attacks on trans rights.Mentioned in this episode:What’s Next in Skrmetti?Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!

  • What’s Next in Skrmetti?
    The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, a case that could determine trans minors’ right to gender-affirming care, in December. It’s coming on the heels of Donald Trump’s successful election campaign, which he closed by attacking Democrats left and right on trans rights.This week, Jess and Imani walk through what to expect from this case—and it’s not looking great. We’re expecting junk science, moral cowardice, and an “assurance” that this is about returning the issue to the states. Sound familiar?Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!

  • Not This Again
    Well… Donald Trump is back for a second term. We hate it here!This week, Jess and Imani go through what reproductive health-care hellscape we can expect from the next Trump administration: legally establishing fetal “personhood,” federal surveillance of pregnant people, and banning abortion pills—all eventually leading to a national abortion ban. We’re preparing for a parade of horribles. You’ve heard us say it before, and you’ll certainly hear us say it again: The only way out is through. And we’re going to get through this together.Mentioned in this episode:Project 2025 Is Worse Than You ThinkRewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!

  • Andrea Grimes Is So Back
    With the election less than a week away, abortion rights and democracy are both on the line—and that’s no coincidence.Andrea Grimes, journalist and vice president of research at Reproaction, joins Jess and Imani this week to talk about the importance of opposition research into anti-abortion activists, how the anti-abortion and anti-democracy movements work hand-in-hand, and why there’s no shortage of work for the pro-abortion movement. Plus, the trio chats about Grimes’ new media venture—the feminist blog The Flytrap—and why collective media could be the future of journalism.Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!

  • Republican Attorneys General Are Wielding Junk Science to Demand Teens Stay Pregnant
    Can pro-natalists go touch some grass? A trio of conservative attorneys general filed a complaint in federal court claiming the availability of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions in the United States, creates a “sovereign injury” to the states themselves. They argue that mifepristone lowers teen birth rates in violation of the states’ “population interests.”Jess and Imani get into why this argument is essentially constitutionally-mandated eugenics and how it could expand state police power. We could be entering an entirely new era of constitutional law.Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!
