Part 1:
We talk with Amy Littlefield, The Nation's abortion correspondent.
We discuss the Florida ballot initiative, and its chances of passing. The campaign has raised considerable money, though the Florida Supreme Court has yet to rule on inclusion of this initiative. Currently, Florida is the only Southern state to allow abortion after the cutoffs and total bans in other Southern states.
Part 2:
We talk with Laura Belin in Iowa, blogger and manager of Bleeding Heartland.
We discuss how press credentials were denied her until she sued the state.
We talk about how many laws and regulations have been pushed through the Iowa Republican-dominated legislature that affect women, LGBTQ citizens, and others. The governor has rejected federal money for feeding children during the summer, using an excuse that many children are obese already. This, despite the effects that additional food money would benefit farmers, grocery stores, etc.
