In a reality where the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare protections has been rolled back or eliminated nationwide by the disastrous Dobbs U.S. Supreme Court decision, Oklahoma legislators still manage to work overtime to reduce women’s rights from every angle possible.

When the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women picked two of the hardest rightwing state legislators – Sens. Darrel Weaver and Shane Jett – to give a legislative update to their members this fall, insult was indeed added to injury for the people of our state harmed by rightwing attacks on personal and bodily autonomy.

For our latest Observercast – Mansplaining, Oklahoma-Style – Erika Lucas, founder of StitchCrew and VestHer Ventures, joins us to discuss the message sent by this meeting and how it reflects our state’s continued assault on rights of all people with uteruses – and our ability to get ahead and thrive.
