On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing what’s at stake in the upcoming midterm elections: the climate crisis, reproductive rights, social security, Medicare, the cost of prescription drugs, taxes, immigration, poverty, voting rights, guns, and more. It's all at stake depending on who controls Congress.
House Democrats have voted to crack down on price gouging by oil companies; cap insulin at $35 for those with private insurance; protect access to birth control; make it easier to vote; ban the sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines; and enshrine Roe v. Wade into federal law. The overwhelming majority of House Republicans voted against these measures. Only 47 House Republicans out of 212 joined all Democrats in passing legislation that would protect same-sex marriages and roll back a 25-year-old law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman.
Guests:
Jodi Jacobson, longtime writer, reporter, and editor focusing on reproductive justice
Will Bunch, national columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer
