There are orchestrated assaults being led by certain state legislatures against trans rights and reproductive rights in this country. While these attacks have been ongoing for years, they are ratcheting up. From Florida's "Don't Say Gay Bill" to a bill in Missouri that would bar pregnant people from accessing abortion services out of state, state legislators seem to be competing to come up with the most extreme, dangerous legislation. Jeanne Hruska speaks with ACS's own Christopher Wright Durocher and Lindsay Langholz about recent developments in key states and about why we are likely to see increasingly extreme legislation attacking trans rights and reproductive rights in the near term. They also discuss the 50th anniversary of the Equal Rights Amendment passing Congress and being sent to the states. ----------------- Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.org Today's Host: Jeanne Hruska, ACS Sr Advisor for Communications and Strategy Guest: Christopher Wright Durocher, ACS Vice President of Policy and Program Guest: Lindsay Langholz, Director of Policy and Program Link: "Issues Impacting LGBTQ Youth Polling Analysis," by The Trevor Project Link: "Texas Is Terrorizing Trans Youth," by Chase Strangio Link: "What If Roe Fell?" by the Center for Reproductive Rights Link: Equal Rights Amendment Link: "Women’s Rights and Democracy Are Inextricably Linked," by Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, Brennan Center Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: [email protected] Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law Podcast Email the Show: [email protected] Follow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | LinkedIn | YouTube -----------------Broken Law: About the law, who it serves, and who it doesn’t.----------------- Production House: Flint Stone Media Copyright of American Constitution Society 2025.
