Many questions remain following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the liberal justices’ dissent in the case and analyze the potential steps that the federal government can take to protect abortion rights.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: 

• The majority and concurring opinions in the case;   
• The implications for other constitutional rights, including the right to use contraceptives and the right to same-sex marriage; and
• Local prosecutors’ discretion when deciding whether to bring abortion-related charges in states that criminalize the procedure.
