Fallout From Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade
Protests overtook the country once again as the Supreme Court ruled to strike down Roe v. Wade. Pro-abortion advocates were enraged and anti-abortion advocates cheered the decision. Trigger laws set to be enacted if Roe was struck down took effect in some states and quickly limited women’s access in those areas. The focus now turns political as President Biden called on people to vote in elected officials that would do something about it. Ginger Gibson, deputy Washington digital editor at NBC News, joins us for all the fallout and what this decision says about the politicization of the Supreme Court.
Next, we’ll tell you how the “Disney adult” became one of the most hated groups on the internet. Everyone knows a Disney adult, someone who loves the parks and spends insane amounts of money on vacations, getting the latest merch, or limited-edition pins and Mickey ears. These Disney superfans have been around for a long time, but the term is relatively new and the anti-Disney adult sentiment really took hold during the pandemic as fans were mourning the closures of the parks and online groups were just having none of that. EJ Dickson, senior writer at Rolling Stone, joins us for more on the adult Disney fandom.
