And yes, it was 2012...\n\nFor years, Sen. Shealy was either ignored by her colleagues or straight-up bullied and harassed \u2014 even evoking the infamous \u201cWomen are a lesser cut of meat\u201d comment from another senator. Nevertheless, she got down to business and became a champion of speaking up for women and children \u2014 two populations of South Carolina citizens who went largely unnoticed by lawmakers.\xa0\n\nIn 2021, Sen. Shealy introduced a bill that would outlaw coercive control in South Carolina. The bill didn\u2019t make it out of committee. In this episode, Sen. Shealy talked about what it\u2019s going to take to make Mica\u2019s Law happen.\n\nEpisode Resources\nHomicide is Top Cause of Death During Pregnancy\xa0\nSC State Senator Corbin Apologizes to State Senator Katrina Shealy For Calling Women A Lesser Cut of Meat\n\nCheck out Luna Shark Merch With a Mission shop at\xa0lunasharkmerch.com/\n\nWhat We're Buying...\nLumen - https://www.lumen.me/coj for 15% off your purchase.
