    The Abortion Discourse, Again (S3E1)

    We are back! Sorry to have been away for so long, but we are back with a busy and invigorating 2023 of Soda City Speaks. In our first episode back we dive into the politics, debate and activism for abortion rights in the Capital city!  

    We start this episode as we always do with headlines from around Columbia over the past month.  Then we move into The Fizz with Grant Burnette LeFever from the law firm Burnette Shut McDaniel, who successfully represented Planned Parenthood in their suit against the 6-week abortion ban.  Our main feature in this episode is with Debbie Billings and Lynn Teague, both reproductive right activists in our city.  And we end with community listings, lots to see and do in Columbia this month.
