Yes on 3, Again: Missouri’s Abortion Ban in Disguise
Missouri Republicans want abortion rights out of the state constitution—so they wrote an amendment that restricts abortion and allows the legislature to put up more barriers to care, and are selling it to voters as a list of times abortion would be allowed. Cheeky. It took two courts and four drafts to get a ballot summary that says what Amendment 3 does: repeals the abortion rights voters approved in 2024. Imani Gandy explains the chaos Republicans sowed to hide the true purpose of Amendment 3 from voters, and the anti-trans ballot candy they tossed in as a treat. Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.

Why Missouri's Amendment 3 Could Cost Teens a Way Around Parental Consent
Missouri voters are being asked to vote on abortion rights in the midterms—again—because Republicans can’t take no for an answer. In 2024, voters enshrined the right to reproductive freedom, including abortion through fetal viability, in the state constitution. Now, a new Amendment 3 asks voters to repeal that protection.Amendment 3 would also write Missouri’s existing parental-consent requirement into the state constitution. Imani Gandy explains what judicial bypass is, what the Supreme Court has said about it, and why it matters that parental consent would be protected by the constitution while judicial bypass would remain in an ordinary law that legislators could change or repeal.

Texas’s Abortion Pill Bounty Law Comes for Kristan Hawkins
Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins pushed hard for Texas’ House Bill 7, a “bounty hunter law” that allows total strangers to sue anyone who mails or hands over abortion pills. Then, she went to Texas and went undercover, reportedly calling herself “Wanda,” to order abortion pills. She was trying to prove how easy it is to procure the pills despite Texas’ ban. Now a Texas mother using the pseudonym Maria Puerto is suing Hawkins and three Students for Life staffers under that same law. Talk about hoisted by your own petard.Imani Gandy breaks down HB 7, whether Maria Puerto can actually win, and why Hawkins’ best defense might be admitting the whole thing was a stunt.

Sam Alito Is Looking for the Guy Who Leaked Dobbs
Sam Alito keeps saying he has a pretty good idea who leaked the Dobbs draft but he still won’t share it. Funny. Imani has a suspect too: Sam Alito. From the toothless investigation into who leaked the Dobbs decision and the alleged leak of the Hobby Lobby decision to Alito’s flag collection, which is associated with the Stop the Steal movement and Christian nationalism (and which he blamed on his wife for), Imani Gandy walks through why you should never take his word. Everybody’s trying to find the guy who did this. Has anyone checked the hot dog suit? B*tch, Listen is a 2026 Signal Award finalist!

What the Hell is Fetal Personhood?
One of our listeners, Contessa, wants to know what the hell fetal personhood is. Short answer: It’s the anti-choice movement’s push to give fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses a legal right to life, which turns pregnancy into a conflict between two people, with the state serving as referee. In this Office Hours episode of Baby Boom! Lawyered, Imani Gandy explains how the law decide who counts as a person, from corporations and Alabama’s “extrauterine children” to a fetus in Florida whose lawyer tried to spring it from jail.

What Happens If SCOTUS Orders Blue States to Respect Fetal Personhood?
Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas have filed two lawsuits targeting abortion shield laws and the providers who mail abortion pills into states where abortion is banned. Imani examines how the states use fetal personhood to describe their alleged injuries, whether the Supreme Court is likely to hear their case, and what today’s shield-law fight has in common with the personal liberty laws Northern states used to resist the Fugitive Slave Act. Also: why Louisiana put mifepristone, anthrax, and mail bombs in the same sentence. Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires. Episodes like this take time, research, and a commitment to the truth.

SCOTUS Did Something Nice for Black Voters in Missouri. I Know.
The Supreme Court did something nice for Black voters. I’m as shocked as you are. On Sept. 25, the Court told the Eighth Circuit to knock it off and stop trying to force Missouri to use a gerrymandered 2025 congressional map that Republicans drew at Trump’s urging. Imani Gandy breaks down how Missouri’s secretary of state gambled and ran the primary on the wrong map, and why the Supreme Court had to tell Republicans in Missouri three times that they can’t use the 2025 map—they have to use the 2022 map. Also, she explains what the Purcell principle is so you can dazzle your friends in the group chat when talking about these messy midterms. Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires.
