In this classic episode, Imani Gandy talks with best-selling author Elie Mystal about why the Constitution has never worked for Black people, how the Supreme Court weaponizes it to strip people of their rights, and what it would look like to scrap it and start over.

In the last episode of B*tch, Listen, Imani Gandy laid out her theory that the reproductive rights movement made a critical mistake in running public health and legal strategies around abortion access on parallel tracks.

In this episode, Gandy talks through her theory with Elizabeth Booker Houston—a seasoned legal and public health expert, and educator. Booker Houston and Gandy break down how race played into that decision and why losing the Chevron deference standard was also the repro rights movement’s fault.
