Discussing women’s reproductive freedom and access to IVF

The podcast welcomes state Rep. Michelle Au, a physician and advocate for women’s health issues. Au is in the forefront of advocating for reproductive freedom for women and access to IVF in the aftermath of the Alabama Supreme Court decision declaring that in vitro frozen embryos are living beings. 
Then, Cole Muzio, president of the conservative Frontline Policy Alliance , discusses the issues his organization worked to advance during the recent session of the General Assembly. Muzio is a strong anti-abortion advocate and found himself at odds with former President Donald Trump’s declaration that each state should decide laws governing abortion. 
Finally, Greg and Patricia discuss a federal court hearing to decide whether Republican Party leaders in Catoosa County have the right to deny ballot access to those who don’t pass a purity test establishing them as MAGA-style Republicans. Greg writes that the case could have implications for the entire state.
