And one in which Joe Biden's press secretary answers a question about the policy that denies US funding for foreign groups that perform abortions (or “counsel, refer or advocate” for abortion) by reminding ([link removed]) reporters that Biden "attends church regularly." And an obituary ([link removed]) of anti-choice agitator Joseph Shiedler—a "funny," "self-deprecating" guy, whose harassment of women at clinics the New York Times describes as "finding women who were considering abortions and persuading them not to follow through."

We'll talk about actual realities of present-day abortion with Kimberly Inez McGuire, executive director of the group URGE ([link removed]) : Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity.

We'll talk about defending workers in the digital economy with Open Society ([link removed]) economic inequality fellow Bama Athreya, who also hosts the podcast The Gig ([link removed]) .
