Abortion - A 23rd Century Perspective

A stolen draft Supreme court opinion that might overturn Roe v. Wade has set off a firestorm of tweets, op-eds and protests across the country. The Republicans and Democrats are facing off for a Battle of the Century.

The political parties ignore this consensus that would be a viable basis for policy in favor of divisive politics. In this podcast, the Edifice of Trust Host, Victor Bolles, takes a look at why partisan politics is blocking a compromise solution that would allow us to redirect our energies to addressing the consequences of these policies.
