James Naughtie travels to Arizona to examine the deep roots of the current political moment in the United States.

In this second episode of two, he considers the political debate over abortion. Since the national right to an abortion was overturned in 2022, Arizona's politics has been consumed by the debate about how far to limit that right, with conservative Republicans often prevailing. But as James hears, this November voters will be given their say, and many expect a liberal measure to pass, perhaps spurring turnout which will benefit Democrats - a pattern which may be repeated across the United States.

However, as Kamala Harris's presidential campaign emphasises her liberal abortion stance in an effort to win over women voters, has she done enough to appeal to men, particularly Black and Latino who have been targeted by Donald Trump's campaign? In this most marginal of swing states, the outcome may hinge on them.
