Description: What’s the opposite of an advent calendar?

Wade since the decision was passed down in 1973?That’s where we’re at, folks. And as we close in on oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on December 1, you can join hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy to feel all your feelings before, during, and after the big day. In this episode of Boom!
