OA117: Restricting Abortion Rights (& a Deep Dive into Res Judicata)
b'Today\'s episode takes a look at a tragic case currently unfolding of a pregnant young woman being detained for being in this country illegally and the Trump administration\'s efforts to deny her the right to an abortion. We begin with a quick procedural update on the 9th Circuit\'s ruling on EO-2 before taking a deep dive into the nuts and bolts behind\\xa0Zarda v. Altitude Express, which we first discussed back in Episode 91.\\xa0 Thanks to some great questions from our listeners, Andrew and Thomas get into the civil procedure weeds with concepts like "claim-splitting" and\\xa0res judiciata. In the main segment, the guys break down\\xa0Jane Doe v. Wright, and discuss whether the government can prohibit an minor alien in this country outside of legal status from seeking an abortion. Next, Andrew and Thomas discuss a prominent tweet within the skeptical community and whether it is fair to characterize the statement itself as "sexual harassment." Finally,\\xa0we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #47 about landlord responsibility and immunity.\\xa0 Don\'t forget to following\\xa0our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
