The Sister Senators: The Heels Come Off

South Carolina punished five women for standing up to power, and the consequences are still unfolding. The Sister Senators join Frogmore Stew for a live conversation about crossing party lines, losing their seats, and what it costs women to challenge abortion bans in the South Carolina Senate. They speak candidly about retaliation, misinformation, and the deeply personal toll of fighting for reproductive rights in a legislature dominated by men. The conversation also lays out what advocates can do right now as new abortion restrictions and criminalization efforts move through the State House. 00:00:00 The Cost of Dissent 00:03:35 Meet the Sister Senators 00:07:42 Abortion Law, Power, and Male Control 00:13:38 Testifying Against the Abortion Ban 00:18:15 Resistance and Advocacy 00:22:27 Running on Abortion Rights, and the Backlash 00:38:34 Extremist Abortion Laws 00:43:24 Personhood and Pregnancy Laws 00:45:28 Playing Transactional Politics 00:49:36 Courage, Collective Power, and Action
