President Donald Trump said he will name his nominee to succeed
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Saturday -- a little
more than a week after the death of the trailblazing feminist
jurist. One of the top contenders is Amy Coney Barrett, whose
conservative jurisprudence calls into question the future of Roe v.
Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that affirmed a woman's right to
choose an abortion. We'll talk about the likelihood that a
conservative majority would overturn Roe and what that would mean
for women across the country, particularly those who live in states
that already limit abortion access.
