Banned

A leaked draft Supreme Court opinion suggests the US Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe versus Wade, ending the constitutional right to an abortion in the United States.

How did we get here?

This is Banned, a new narrative podcast that tells the story of how one Mississippi law could end the right to legal abortions in the United States — and overturn Roe v. Wade.

Hosted by journalist Rosemary Westwood, Banned is a production of WWNO New Orleans Public Radio, WRKF Baton Rouge Public Radio and PRX.

    Abortion is murder
    I hope abortion becomes illegal because of that law

    Well executed and informative!
    This is a wonderful series that is very well written. The information is factual and relatable. The stories of the women in Mississippi and surrounding states are truly inspiring. The people who are calling this well executed project “biased” are the biased ones because the series includes recordings of conversations with people opposing abortion and they share their thoughts, opinions, and answer questions with their own words. The team for this show simply report on it. Loved this podcast and can’t wait to continue fighting the good fight to allow women to have basic autonomy over their bodies and i will always support a persons right to choose when or if they want to become a parent. 💖

    Clearly agenda-driven
    Tries to present itself as being balanced and presenting facts, but the word choices are strategic & not fooling anyone. Just 7 episodes of confirmation-bias. Cherry-picks data, & doesn’t even try to illustrate the complexity of the debate. Just pandering to the current social moment. However, I did appreciate the backgrounds and history. A timely topic.

    I’ve literally been trying to find some comprehensive explanation from start to finish and finally found it here. Thank you for making this.

    Interesting & Informative
    It’s a devastating loss to women. Like so many other women, do I now swallow the fact that I am not in charge of my own body? That our wombs belongs to the state - a group of people who will force on us what their beliefs are? This was such a good series. Thank you for its production. We should all keep in mind that “ our representatives “ are not ours if we don’t vote. So be let’s be informed, let’s have a voice & VOTE.

    Fantastic!
    Such a well done series! I am just sick with the Supreme Court’s political decision. It is a disgrace what the evangelicals and republicans have done to curtail the rights of not just women, but the men who love them. Thank you so much for this thoughtful and intelligent education to what can only be described as another devastating blow to our democracy.

    Excellent
    Well structured and organized. The length feels perfect and palatable for those who may be trying to learn more, or on the go. I sincerely enjoy the interviews and the audio selections from interviews, appointments, protests, etc. are perfectly positioned. Thank you for this work!
