As we watch this illegitimate incarnation of the “Supreme” Court dismantling the freedoms we’ve lived with for 50 years or more, today I’m joined by someone who was there at the start of the fight for reproductive rights. Bill Baird is recognized widely as the “Father of the birth control and abortion-rights movement. He was jailed eight times in five states in the 1960s for lecturing on abortion and birth control, and is believed to be the first and only non-lawyer in American history with three Supreme Court victories. He just celebrated his 90th birthday, but is still fighting for our rights. Today, he joins me to give us all a bit of a history lesson and explain why we must fight on! There was other news today too. The “Supreme” Court today released a few more opinions, including one that continues its assault on the separation of church and state. We have a lot of messed up territory to cover today, so buckle in.
