Welcome back to Weekly Political Pep Talks! Today's main topic will be abortion. We'll start the episode with a quick intro and reveal the person who said last episode's quote of the week: President John F. Kennedy! Then we'll get into two main headlines for the week, regarding the fallout of Hurricane Ida and other extreme weather incidents and the upcoming trial of disgraced former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes. Next, we'll move on to our main topic segment about abortion. We'll start with some definitions related to abortion, look at some background on abortion policy in the United States and talk about the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade as well as discuss Texas' new near-total ban on abortion, then share our thoughts. Finally, we'll introduce today's quote of the week: "Always stand on principle even if you stand alone."
