Josh and David open with a discussion of the ongoing fallout from the Alabama Supreme Court's decision finding that frozen embryos are legally considered children in Alabama, throwing IVF into chaos in the state. They debate whether Alabama would be better if the Court was appointed, rather than elected.
In the guest segment, the John R. Lewis Legacy Institute's Jerrick Lewis, the nephew of John Lewis, zooms in to discuss carrying on his uncle's legacy and the work of the John Lewis Legacy Institute to advance equity and preserve John Lewis's legacy through community engagement and service projects.
They close with this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week and an update on gambling legislation and sports betting.

Send us a question:
We take a bit of time each week to answer questions from our audience about Alabama politics — or Alabama in general. If you have a question about a politician, a policy, or a trend — really anything — you can shoot us an email at apwproducer@gmail.com or with this form.
You can also send it to us on Facebook and Twitter. Or by emailing us a voice recording to our email with your question, and we may play it on air.
Either way, make sure you include your name (first name is fine) and the city or county where you live.
