With the Supreme Court giving anti-choicers decisive wins in red America, those who advocate using state power to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term are turning their efforts to drawing new battlelines in blue states. Joshua Holland kicks off this week's show with a look at a campaign that is just getting underway.

And then we are joined by Assal Rad, research director for the National Iranian American Council and author of State of Resistance: Politics, Culture & Identity in Modern Iran, to talk about the popular uprising that has spread across Iran after the apparent murder of a young woman who was detained by Iran's "morality police" for not wearing a head covering. Rad explains why these protests have cut across demographic and class divides despite often deadly suppression by Iarnian security forces.
