This week, Politico reported on a leaked Supreme Court document stating that the country's highest court of law is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the nearly 50-year-old precedent that has guaranteed access to abortion. In response, there was an array of reactions and much discussion surrounding the reversal's repercussions.

To help us make sense of this news, The Sunday Paper's senior editor, Stacey Lindsay, sat down with Abby Johnston and Shefali Luthra of The 19th, an independent journalism organization reporting at the intersection of gender, politics and policy.
