This week: The Supreme Court unveiled a ruling right before Shabbat overturning the federal abortion protections guaranteed in Roe v Wade. To talk about the Jewish perspective on abortion, why abortion is essential to health care, and what rabbis do after this ruling, I speak with Rabbi Hara Person, the chief executive of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, or the CCAR, which is the Reform movement’s rabbinical association.

Apologies for the late upload -- I've been sick the past few days and am not at 100%. More episodes about this ruling are on their way.
