We turn to the comedy-driven reproductive rights organization Lady Parts Justice League for the latest in pro-choice information and activism around the country. Political comedian and Abortion Access Front founder Lizz Winstead joins me on the show today to talk about policies to be aware of, Abortion Access Front’s tour and more.
Last week Trump pushed for Israel to block Reps. Omar and Tlaib from visiting the country.
