KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas is operating at just 10% power using a back up transmitter while work continues to install a new transmitter. It is hoped that this work will completed within the next few days with KZNA back to its full 100,000 watts of power with a state of the art transmitter to serve the area for many years to come.
If you can't receive KZNA at its reduced power, you can listen via the digital stream directly above or on the HPPR mobile app. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

Supreme Court Set To Review Mississippi Abortion Law

Published May 18, 2021 at 12:06 PM CDT

In its next term, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a Mississippi case that bans almost all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

This is the first time the court will hear an abortion ban case since its landmark decision on Roe v. Wade in 1973. Abortion rights advocates and opponents are both looking at the case as a threat to Roe v. Wade.

Here & Now‘s Peter O’Dowd speaks with Mary Ziegler — legal historian, law professor at Florida State University and author of “Abortion and The Law In America” — about the significance of this case.
