In what will prove to be an interesting case out of Texas, a 14-year-old girl is at odds with her family about the fact that she is pregnant.  Her family wants her to get an aborition, she does not.  At this point, a judge has stepped in, at least in the short term, to examine who can make this decision, and how Roe v. Wade plays into the whole mix.  The conversation is on our Facebook page, you can find HERE, and of course, the GDC Cast examined the entire case, which you can watch HERE.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson joined Fraendy Clervaud in the studio to talk about MLK, civil rights, and his own run for the Oval Office.  Check out Rev. Jackson's GDC appearance HERE.
