On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks to Farah Diaz-Tello, Staff Attorney with National Advocates for Pregnant Women, about the case of 33 year old Nina Buckhalter, who is standing trial over a miscarriage that prosecutors claim was caused by illegal drug use, and what precedent it could set for pregnant women. Breaking the Set producer, Ameera David, then highlights two stories being overlooked by the corporate media including Burmese authorities enforcing a two child limit for Rohingya Muslim minorities, as well as the latest drone strike in Pakistan that killed more innocent civilians. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Richard Wolff, Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, and author of Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism, about the recent school closures in Chicago, and how it reflects a systemic problem within the current capitalist model.
