Host Gillian Frank details the journey of Lisa Sobel, a Jewish woman from Louisville, who alongside other Jewish plaintiffs, filed a lawsuit against the state’s restrictive abortion laws. The episode discusses the implications of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, the significant challenges faced by Lisa in her IVF journey, the deep-rooted history of Jews in Kentucky, and the broader impact of these legal restrictions on religious and reproductive freedoms.
