Welcome back to Weekly Political Pep Talks! Today's main topic will be abortion. We'll start the episode with a quick intro and reveal the person who said last episode's quote of the week: President John F. Kennedy!

We'll start with some definitions related to abortion, look at some background on abortion policy in the United States and talk about the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v.
