After a jury handed down an eye-popping 148 million dollar judgement against Rudy Giuliani, Jen Psaki speaks to Michael Gottlieb, the attorney for former election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss who were defamed by Giuliani's baseless conspiracy theories. Jen continues the conversation with Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissmann discussing how Giuliani will pay, and whether others might be deterred from engaging in political smears. Jen is also joined by Congressman Joe Neguse for reaction to the baseless impeachment proceedings launched by House Republicans. Finally, Jen speaks to the families of American hostages who shared their concerns about their loved ones after visiting the White House this week.

Trust Women Wichita is a clinic in Kansas that has long been a lightning rod in the abortion wars. Its former director, George Tiller, was assassinated in 2009 by an antiabortion extremist, and the clinic closed for years because of that.

Since it reopened in 2013, the clinic slowly became known as a place for people from across the Midwest and South who want to end their pregnancies and must travel hundreds of miles. Now, with Texas passing one of the most sweeping antiabortion laws in the country, Trust Women Wichita is busier than ever.

Today, L.A. Times Houston bureau chief Molly Hennessy-Fiske takes us to this abortion clinic. She talks to women who came from far away to get an abortion, staffers who feel their work is more important than ever — and antiabortion activists who are counting on even more restrictive laws to effectively shut down Trust Women Wichita.

Normally, we are full of sunshine, happiness and sexy fun, but this week we felt it was important to tackle a serious topic that's been all over the news lately: Abortion in Texas. Particularly the recently passed SB 8, also known as the "Texas Heartbeat Act." Read more about it here. 

So, needless to say, this episode was a little bit more difficult to record than our normal episodes. I am extremely proud of Aaron, Tina and myself, because, even though we may not agree on the abortion topic 100%, we managed to respect each others opinions and have a civil conversation! One that I hope we all learned from and I think you can too!

Here's some of the topics we touched on:

• Our personal experiences
• Keeping politics & religion out of it
• Texas Abortion Bills
• Abortion is important to talk about because it is a result of sexy
• SB 8 is a creative piece of legislation
• It is hard to know you are pregnant before 6 weeks
• Abortions are difficult emotionally
• Being able to talk about abortions 
• Pro-life vs. Pro-choice
• Abortion as contraception
• What if the contraception doesn't work?
• Do women carry more responsibility for pregnancy?
• Being ultra fertile
• Going to another state for an abortion
• How to prevent abortion
• Abortion regret
• Sex strike
• Stockpiling birth control and Plan B
• How this decision affects poor people
