Draconian Anti-Abortion Laws; Iowa and the 2020 Democratic Primary Race

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns.

The two discuss whether the Supreme Court is likely to uphold Alabama's, and a handful of other states', draconian anti-choice laws (Alabama's does not even have an exception for rape or incest).  If that happens, it would be the end of Roe v. Wade.
