GA woman charged with murder after abortion pill use: it’s not a simple case to debate

PLUS: Clay Fuller’s “word salad” exchange, SCOTUS may spark a Trumper-tantrum & Sarah Huckabee Sanders plays ‘victim’ again

Melita Easters, executive director at the Georgia WIN List⁠, joined me Monday morning to discuss the most recent tragic story from Georgia in the aftermath of that state’s passage of a six-week abortion ban: a southeast ⁠Georgia woman was arrested after using an abortion pill⁠ with oxycodone while pregnant, resulting in the death of the infant shortly after giving birth.

We discuss the complicated story of Alexia – a military veteran with PTSD and on full disability who already had two children and few options – whether its mental health or reproductive options – before taking such a drastic measure later in her pregnancy.

Melita also discussed the forum she moderated in Gainesville Sunday, featuring the two Democratic 9th Congressional district candidates and three of the seven Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidates, too. In that forum we learned how each candidate prefers their chicken (spoiler alert: fried) and who they’d vote for if they had the opportunity to decide via ‘ranked choice.’

Clay Fuller – not unlike the President that endorsed him – is something of a ‘word salade’ shooter. ⁠LISTEN⁠.

We may be headed for another Trump meltdown if two of the Supreme Court’s ⁠conservative jurists are tipping their hand⁠ in a case where the Trump DOJ and RNC are teaming up to eliminate counting mail-in votes that show up after “election day.”

More evidence of people stunned that a leopard (Trump) would eat their face, too, as the ⁠New York Times documented recently ⁠in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Listen as construction business owners & managers who supported Trump in 2024 are stunned to learn he’s taken to deporting people indiscriminately as he said he would. Never mind that the actual “illegals” – them, the employers hiring undocumented people – roam free.

Then there’s the case of “persistent victim” Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who can’t tell the whole story if her life depended on it. She’s reached for her fainting couch after ⁠being asked to leave a restaurant with a 90-minute seating policy⁠ after having been there about 90 minutes, taking up two tables and having armed security hovering over her and the rest of the eatery’s patrons. I mean, what gives, right?
