Co-hosts Shirley Baca and Peter Goodman discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent abortion decision with Joan Sanford of the New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. We’ll also discuss how the organization, and the rest of us, can help in this health crisis – which, while New Mexico retains freedom of choice, will affect the state at least through some amount of influx of out-of-state women who need to end their pregnancies. Further, we’ll discuss the religious coalition itself, and the fact that although certain religious points-of-view get the bulk of the ink, many religions are consistent with women’s rights to make their own personal decisions, particularly in matters involving their health.
