CNN
About this episode

The Oklahoma legislature passes the nation’s most restrictive abortion bill, banning abortions from the moment of fertilization and allowing private citizens to sue abortion providers who “knowingly” perform or induce an abortion “on a pregnant woman”. Dr. Yashica Robinson, Medical Director of the Alabama Women’s Center, and Nancy Northup, President of the Center for Reproductive Rights, join to discuss.

Nina Jankowicz is the former head of the newly created Disinformation Governance Board. She joins CNN Tonight to talk about her resignation three-weeks after being appointed, following attacks from far-right influencers who push the disinformation she was tasked with governing. Plus, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack joins to update on the Biden administration’s efforts to solve the baby formula shortage crisis.

Hosted by Laura Coates.
