New leadership for regional Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood North Central States

On today's show …

The regional Planned Parenthood has new leadership. CEO Ruth Richardson is also a Minnesota state legislator. She says it's time to rethink how we talk about abortion. We ask her about the future of abortion access in South Dakota. In a state where abortion is illegal, what kind of bills might South Dakota lawmakers agree on?

Jack Kolbeck is here for our meet the candidates series. He is a Republican running for re-election to the state senate from District 13.

Plus, Scott Simpson makes music from Spearfish Canyon throughout the season. We'll talk with him about writing songs for strangers later in the hour.
