Joe is joined by Dr. Arnice Jackson-Deolall (aka Dr. Nurse) for a new segment called "The Checklist." Arnice lists 5 reasons why Reproductive Health is important especially in light of the Supreme Court Decision to overturn Roe vs Wade. There are current and future implications that can and will impact everyone, whether it is you or someone close to you. Arnice discussed why healthy women normally lead to a healthy family and why every person has a right to privacy of their sexual health. There is also trivia and a call to action.
