Sidebar: Guns, fertility and Texas

Episode 2 looks at the shenanigans at the Texas Legislature, a trial over a failed freezer containing human embryos, and a preview of the upcoming en banc Ninth Circuit rehearing on California's high-capacity gun mag ban.

In today's episode, we break down this spring's dramatic Texas Legislative session, which saw the passage of bills barring transgender youth from participating in sports and banning abortion after six weeks, and how it ended in a Democratic walkout.

We also take a look at a federal jury trial over a freezer tank failure that destroyed thousands of frozen eggs and embryos, and preview California's fight for gun reform coming to the Ninth Circuit.
