We learn about new research that shows a dogs breed has little to do with its personality. Then, we talk to a political science professor about what kind of legal precedent could be set if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

  • Your dog's personality doesn't have much to do with breed, according to canine behavior new research

    You may have a protective German Shepherd, a needy Dachshund, or a friendly Labrador. But a new study on canine genetics found that dog breed has little bearing on personality, and is much more significant in determining looks. We hear from people around Wisconsin about whether their dogs’ demeanors fit the breed.

  • If Roe v. Wade is overturned, other legal precedent may be called into question

    The leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade is an originalist interpretation of the Constitution, asserting that a right to abortion is not implied by the 14th Amendment’s due process clause, nor by the country’s history. We look at how this could affect other due process rights.
