In this episode

After a draft opinion was leaked from the U.S. Supreme Court showed the possible reversal of the landmark abortion law called Roe v Wade, a new spotlight has been put on companies that manufacture abortifacients (aka abortion pills). We give you a quick look into what those pills are used for (not just abortions) and the companies that manufacturer them. Then we explore what sovereign bonds can tell us about how climate change is going to affect governments.
