About this episode

Considering last week's landmark supreme court decision to do some bullsh*t, we're discussing the history of Roe v. Wade itself, how it came to be, WHY it came to be, and what lead the court to reversing it. (Hint, it has to do with a lot of catholics.) Plus, a very quick history of the word, "cocktail."
