Roe v. Wade in peril? What a major leak suggests about the future of U.S. abortion laws

Guest: Edward Keenan, Washington Bureau Chief Protests erupted in Washington D.C.

Edward Keenan, The Star's Washington Bureau Chief, explains. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green, Brian Bradley and Matthew Hearn
