PM Public Radio: Dec 9
Here are some of the top stories on the PM programs today:
The World: Three Irish women who traveled to Britain in order to get abortions are challenging their country’s restrictive abortion laws. Their claim: the de facto ban on abortion in Ireland violates the European Convention on Human Rights. Jane Little has the story.
Marketplace: Kai Ryssdal interviews Al Gore. This is a timely conversation, and not for the reasons Gore’s publisher might think (the former Vice President’s latest book is now out). Rather, with the global summit on climate change in Copenhagen this week it will be interesting to hear Gore weigh in on efforts to stem the global effects of climate change.
All Things Considered: Julie Rovner looks at the way forward for the health reform bill in the Senate after Democratic leaders reportedly reached a compromise among their members by “redefining” the public option in the bill.
