  • Then we opened up the lines and asked our listeners: Will the new anti-abortion laws in states like Georgia and Alabama turn you into a single-issue voter on abortion? Could it change the dynamics of the presidential race for you?

  • Fifteen years ago this week, Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage. WGBH News reporter Gabrielle Emmanuel spoke with the couple who started it all.

  • Former State Judicial Court Chief Justice Margaret Marshall, who wrote the landmark opinion that legalized same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, looked back on the decision.

  • Harvard health policy professor John McDonough looked at the role health care could play in the 2020 campaign.
