Abortion Redefined – Badly (Hour 1)
Legislators held a hearing Wednesday on a bill that represents the latest effort by right wing politicians to insert themselves in the medical decisions made by women and their doctors. The authors claim the bill addresses situations where abortions are necessary to save the life of the mother, but it also would define a fertilized egg as a person.

Passing the Bill to See What’s In It (Hour 1)

Pope Francis died Monday morning, after more than a decade of leading the Roman Catholic church toward a rediscovery of its roots of inclusion and mercy. Already the debate has begun over whether the next pontiff will be equally public in the church’s need to care for the poor and downtrodden or if it will ratchet up its doctrinaire pursuit of cultural adherence. Like it or not, the public’s politics-dominated discourse will look toward the papal conclave with all the trappings of a partisan convention and the recent movie about the jockeying among the church’s cardinals. ...

Celebrating Slapstick (Hour 1)
These are serious times we’re living in right now, which makes it that much more critical that we pause now and then to enjoy some lighter moments.

We’ll talk to the producer of “Hundreds of Beavers” about how a silent movie in black and white is becoming a streaming sensation. You’d also normally hear Joe Zepecki in this hour, but he’ll join us in the 7am hour. UpNorthNews with Pat Kreitlow airs on several stations across the C...
