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.

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
