  • Emory 'brain dead' case sparks more debate over abortion and 'personhood'
    Jun 7 2025

    We have a deeper dive on the complex and controversial case at Emory Healthcare where a pregnant woman declared ‘brain dead’ is being kept on life support. Hospital officials say that’s because Georgia’s abortion law, but there’s disagreement among many, including conservatives. Plus, we take several looks at the economy: From what the Federal Reserve of Atlanta says about jobs to how to balance demands of data centers with their communities to high schoolers showing their personal finance skills.

    May 31 2025

    On this episode of WABE's Week In Review, we dive into several areas of possible or likely cuts in federal funding from the Trump administration. We dive into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, where more than 1.4 million Georgians could see changes to the help they get from the nation's largest food-aid program. Plus, advocates for historic preservation initiatives in Georgia are raising concerns about delayed federal funding and possible cuts that they say the cuts threaten development and revitalization programs around the state. And we look at how cities are planning to deal with a loss in federal money.

    An Emory University Hospital patient declared "brain dead" remains on a ventilator to sustain her pregnancy, and Atlanta health providers and advocates are speaking out saying Georgia's six-week abortion law is forcing this decision. Plus, Governor Brian Kemp joined members of the Public Service Commission to advocate for a deal that would pause electricity rate increases right before the Commission’s long-awaited election. And Atlanta art organizations are reeling as the National Endowment for the Arts cancels funding. Also we look at Congress cutting billions in funding and how that could impact hundreds of thousands of Medicaid recipients in Georgia.
