Abortion-rights activist argues with anti-abortion-rights protesters outside the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday.

On this edition of Your Call, we'll continue our discussion about the future of abortion rights in the US.

In several polls, 70 percent of the public say Roe should not be overturned and yet, many in the media still say abortion is the most divisive issue of our time. How did we get here? Both sides journalism, gerrymandering, the electoral college, voter suppression, the Koch Brothers working with the religious right, and dark money.

Guests:

Meaghan Winter, magazine writer who has covered abortion for many outlets and author of the book All Politics is Local: Why Progressives Must Fight for the States.

Lisa Graves, executive director of True North Research, an investigative research watchdog group

Jodi Jacobson, writer and strategist, and former Editor-in-Chief of Rewire News
