On Monday, the Supreme Court invalidated two provisions of Texas’ omnibus abortion law known as HB2. The 5–3 decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt was a big win for abortion rights advocates, many of whom expected things to turn out the other way. On today’s show, we speak with Amy Hagstrom Miller, founder and CEO of the abortion provider that challenged the Texas law.
We also sit down with Slate’s own Mark Joseph Stern to recap the highlights—and lowlights—of a Supreme Court term that was chock-full of unexpected twists and turns.
