A ProPublica investigative report about two Black mothers is intensifying the debate over reproductive rights this election season. It focuses on two Georgia women whose deaths could have been prevented, according to maternal health experts. That’s if they had received a procedure that is now restricted under Georgia’s abortion laws. Earlier this week, Kavitha Surana, a reporter at ProPublica, spoke with Rose Scott about the passing of Amber Nicole Thurman, now we’ll hear about the loss of Candi Miller. The conversation comes ahead of Vice President Harris’ campaign visit to Atlanta today to make remarks on reproductive rights.

We then revisit Rose’s conversation with the late legendary actor Louis Gossett Jr. He was the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar for An Officer and a Gentleman. Gossett was also an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal TV miniseries, Roots. During the conversation, the performer reflected on why he gave up a professional career in basketball to pursue acting full-time. Gossett died earlier this year at the age of 87.
