Fearful of the agenda of Republicans in Washington and the Supreme Court’s future makeup, advocates for reproductive health care rights are lobbying lawmakers at the state capitol in Albany today. They are hoping to convince legislators to codify abortion and other reproductive health care protections in state law before the end of the session in June.  Andrea Miller is President of the National Institute for Reproductive Health. She spoke to WAMC’s Ian Pickus in our studios this morning.

A lifelong resident of the Capital Region, Ian joined WAMC in late 2008 and became news director in 2013. He began working on Morning Edition and has produced The Capitol Connection, Congressional Corner, and several other WAMC programs. Ian can also be heard as the host of the WAMC News Podcast and on The Roundtable and various newscasts. Ian holds a BA in English and journalism and an MA in English, both from the University at Albany, where he has taught journalism since 2013.
