A lawmaker from South Burlington discusses a proposed 'shield law' that would protect out-of-staters (and Vermont health care providers) seeking abortions, reproductive health care and gender-affirming care in the state.

Live call-in discussion: A new bill making its way through the Vermont legislature aims to protect people coming to Vermont for reproductive and gender-affirming health care, as well as the Vermont health care providers who administer that care.

Our guest is:

  • Rep. Martin LaLonde, a South Burlington lawmaker who is among the primary sponsors of H.89
