Checks and Balance: Life choices - a podcast by The Economist

When the Supreme Court declined to block aTexas lawprohibiting most abortions after six weeks, it gave the strongest signal yet that its conservative majority is prepared todeny women the right to an abortion. Nearly fifty years afterRoe v Wade, might that landmark rulingsoon be overturned? 

Legal historianMary Ziegler assessesRoe’s chances of survival. We look back to when the abortion debate turned deadly. And pro-life activist Kyleen Wright tells us why liberals are wrong to accuse her movement of hypocrisy. 

John Prideaux hosts with Mian Ridge and Jon Fasman.
