Roe v Wade episode
Neither of you have enough basic knowledge of the content of the trigger laws that are going into effect in states across the south and midwest as a result of the overturning of Roe v. Wade to share a conversation that reflects reality and gives people accurate information. You have a responsibility to not rest on what you know from personal experience from some years ago and do current research of the facts on the Guttmacher Institute at least. No one can be an expert in everything, so if you don’t have the time, it’s better to have some humility and not speak as authorities. If you felt a responsibility to look into it, you would’ve run into the fact that state bans are attempting to criminalize traveling to other states and using or mailing the abortion pill. There are laws that empower people to sue those that assist women in getting abortions. Women are already being denied treatment in hospitals to evacuate their uteruses until they are more seriously ill even if they are miscarrying because their symptoms present the same as a self-induced abortion that’s not complete. They are bleeding out and in incredible pain. Some abortion funds have already stopped assisting women with funds to travel and access abortion because they fear being charged with a crime, including individual staff. You spoke of the draft decision that was leaked. A reading of it, or a reading of some analysis that quoted from it, makes it clear that the overturning of Roe at this time by the make-up of this court is motivated by a theocratic Christian ideology that an embryo or a fetus is a person who has rights that supercede a woman’s right to decide whether or not to carry a fetus to term, that the science of viability should no longer be a deciding factor. To say the overturn is based on correcting a procedural mistake by past justices is based on not paying attention to this issue in any depth - which Dr. Lisle admitted. I agree that what’s needed is a federal law restoring the legal right to abortion nationwide and the reason everyone should care deeply about this no matter where they live is because this ruling affects all women and girls and how they are viewed by society, as well as what role in society women will have—as property of the state when they are pregnant, as breeders and mothers of children or as full human beings who are able to participate in all spheres of society through education and careers.

Love it. The episode on the differences between males and females was very interesting. As a millennial female, I get very irritated when people (particularly my own generation) try to argue that there are no differences between the two groups. Thanks for not dancing around scientific facts in...Read full review »

I love this podcast. It explains so much about why we act the way we do as individuals and also in society. Dr Lisle and Nate are amazing, smart, funny, and will blow you away with insight into the human brain.
