Lisa Graves, a legal expert who has carefully tracked these actors for decades, reveals the dark money and special interests behind the cases manufactured for the Court.

A Right-Wing Conspiracy Overturned Roe, Then Came Back for More.
After Roe was overturned, anti-abortion activists funded by right-wing billionaires got right to work - constructing and funding a lawsuit that would go after Mifepristone, a pill that is used in nearly two-thirds of abortions in the United States. The Supreme Court of the United States is now on the cusp of a decision that could decide the future of the medication. The case is FDA v. the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine.
In the first episode of this limited series, hosted by Lisa Graves, Grave Injustice charts the path of this case to the high court and uncovers the actors and groups behind the scenes that manufactured it and what else they have in mind.

Renee Bracey Sherman, Founder and Executive Director, WeTestify
