2024-02-28 - (What) Were They Thinking?????

Jonny and Heather pair up the Alabama Supreme Court decision
affecting IVF with the Oklahoma death of Nex Benedict, a victim of
bullying brought about by a discrimintatory bathroom law. In both
cases, absolutist and extreme moralizing policies were put in place
with little thought of the consequences, and the lawmakers are
scrambling to justify (or double down on) their hate. In the back
half of the show, Jonny and Heather cover some stories of more
moderate and compassionate legislation and evidence that folks are
not happy with and are pushing back against discriminatory
legislation based on hate.
