View all City Cast Salt Lake episodes

It’s been almost a year since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision protecting the right to an abortion. Since then, we’ve seen an all-out legislative effort to ban abortion in Utah. Shortly after last year’s SCOTUS decision, host Ali Vallarta hit up the bar scene in Downtown SLC to ask young Salt Lakers how they’re thinking about going out and hooking up in a post-Roe world. Their answers were incredibly candid.


This episode first aired July 5, 2022.
