Abortion is a Religious Right (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

Brad and Dan dedicate this episode to discussing the state of reproductive rights, activism, and law one year since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Brad begins by going through the numbers on support for abortion in the country, policy and campaign surprises since Roe’s fall, and the ways Democrats and Republicans have responded.

In the second segment Dan outlines the American religious groups who are suing to have abortion bans overturned in their states on the basis of religious freedom. The argument: abortion is a religious right that is part of their religious practice.

This leads to a broader discussion of how law and religion work in the USA and why using religion as a means of policy change is so effective.
