Live with the 19th: The state of reproductive rights
2022-01-27 01:37:33, 1643269053
Across the country, the landscape of reproductive rights is rapidly changing. Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority expanded, Republican-led states have advanced new restrictions that reduce access to abortion or outlaw it altogether. Meanwhile, states like Illinois and California are developing legislation to protect reproductive rights and establish themselves as safe regions for access to health care.
Join The 19th for critical conversations on the rapidly changing landscape of reproductive rights around the country, as well as how limited abortion access could impact the health care system more broadly.
How do Americans really feel about abortion? It’s complicated.

SUMMARY: Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without parole for the brutal 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. He pleaded guilty in July 2025 to avoid the death penalty. During sentencing, families shared emotional testimonies of loss and anguish. Kohberger, a criminology graduate student, broke into the victims’ home and killed them without known motive, remaining silent at the hearing. Police used DNA and genetic genealogy to identify him. The case deeply affected the community, with misinformation spreading online. Kohberger waived his right to appeal. Some victims’ relatives offered forgiveness and sought answers.
