Episode: The Family Roe
Description: Amid the leak of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion that likely overturns Roe v. Wade, ReligionUnplugged Executive Editor Paul Glader spoke with journalist and author Joshua Prager about his ground-breaking book, The Family Roe, that reports deeply on the battle over abortion in American history by telling the story about Norma McCorvey, the woman behind “Jane Roe.” Prager explains his reportorial journey to report Norma’s full story, including a profile of the so called “baby Roe,” the now-grown daughter who was never aborted. Religion, faith and sex are huge recurring themes in this remarkable narrative.
