Protecting Abortion Rights; Curbing Fare Evasion; Unchecked Emissions and Ocean Life; Happy Birthday Jane Jacobs
The Brian Lehrer Show | May 5, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is the lead litigator in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case , discusses the various strategies that pro-abortion litigators might turn to before the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade likely comes down.
- David Jones, president and chief executive officer of the Community Service Society of New York, currently serving on the MTA board, talks about his role on the MTA's blue ribbon "fareness" panel seeking ways to end farebeating on the subway and how it can achieve that goal equitably.
- Curtis Deutsch, professor of Geosciences and the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University, discusses the dire consequences of unchecked, human-driven emissions for ocean life as laid out in a new report he's co-authored, "Avoiding ocean mass extinction from climate warming."
- Listeners call in to honor urbanist Jane Jacobs, who advocated walkability and neighborhood appreciation, with the parts of their communities that make them slow down and appreciate the city around them.
