PETER WOLFGANG, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FAMILY INSTUTUTE OF CONNECTICUT, spoke to Brad Davis about Lawmakers Celebrate Reproductive Freedom with New Legislation. On the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a bipartisan group of lawmakers held a press conference in support of legislation that keeps with Connecticut’s tradition of reproductive freedom. Some of the legislation builds on maternal health initiatives, such as Medicaid reimbursement for doula services and a woman’s right not to be discriminated against by her employer for asking for a quiet and private place to express breast milk for up to three years. Another proposal would exempt breast feeding supplies from sales taxes.

RAHEEL RAZA, Clarion Project Advisory Board member, a founding member of the Muslim Reformer Movement, and international human rights activist. Raheel Raza—who received a fatwa from Saudi Arabia—contends that Saudi Arabia has a grotesque history of violence that must be condemned. She argues that the United States was correct to denounce this violence, but that it’s ridiculous that Muslim nations have failed to condemn this brutal murder and are instead looking to America for an answer. She joined Brad and Paul.
