Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, legislative agendas for upcoming sessions show lawmakers in some states determined to tighten abortion restrictions. The next episode of Us & Them speaks with abortion rights advocates focused on providing access to reproductive care — and some are looking back at efforts from half a century ago.

And today is a national day of mourning for 39th president Jimmy Carter. Curtis Tate spoke with former U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall about his interactions with President Carter during and after his presidency.
