Listen now
Description
When the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that fertilized embryos should be treated as “extrauterine children,” they threw IVF procedures into the abortion rights fight. In his State of the Union speech, President Biden warned Republicans that they “have no clue about the power of women.” And Senator Katie Britt — from the state that has put IVF in peril — was chosen to give the Republican response. Audie talks with writer Ana Marie Cox about how this fight is guiding both parties in their attempt to draw women voters in this year’s presidential election.   Ana Marie Cox is the host of the podcast Getting Better with Ana Marie Cox.   Mentioned in our conversation: Voter Suppression Is the Anti-Abortion Movement’s Secret Sauce  Learn more about your ad choices.
