The idea of spheres of influence for me begs the question of what are those spheres and where are the lines and who draws the boundaries?
All right. Well, we'll leave it there. I'm Sarah McCammon. I cover politics.
And thank you for listening to the NPR Politics Podcast.
The people close to her that I've spoken to have just talked about the way that she was unflappable. I think someone used the word indefatigable, the way that she represented for many people in her movement, someone who never stopped fighting and someone who persisted even amidst challenges, even amidst these very significant setbacks.
Ultimately, that's something that people like Cecile Richard and the abortion rights movement were not able to prevent despite, you know, many years of efforts to expand access to abortion.
Michael Webb and Jonathan Mahoney were excited for the inauguration, but they're rolling with the change of plans.
Webb, who's from Texas, and Mahoney from Massachusetts are in the military and stationed together a few hours from D.C. Edwin Alas traveled from Colorado with his husband Gabriel. Alas says they don't have tickets, but they wanted to come celebrate the new president.

South Korea has voted to impeach its acting president. The vote comes just two weeks after the former president was impeached following a failed attempt to impose martial law. What's behind the country's political upheaval? I'm Sarah McCammon. This is Up First from NPR News.
Israel has struck Houthi targets in Yemen, including an international airport in the country's capital, power stations and ports. What comes next as fighting between the Iran-supported group and Israel escalates?

A look at the brewing showdown between the country's opposition and the government. Stay with us. We'll give you the news you need to start your day.
It's been less than a month since South Korea's parliament voted to impeach President Yoon Sang-yeol for imposing martial law. Now, parliament has voted to impeach his replacement. It's the first time South Korea has impeached an acting president, and it illustrates the seriousness of the political crisis gripping one of Asia's key democracies.
NPR international correspondent Anthony Kuhn joins us now from Seoul. Hi there, Anthony.
So tell us about the acting president and why parliament wants him out.
Which raises the question, who is running the country now?
Okay, so back to former President Yun, the president who declared martial law and kicked all of this off. What's the latest with him?
Lots of twists and turns here, Anthony. Any idea how long this gridlock might last?
That's NPR international correspondent Anthony Kuhn. Thanks so much, Anthony.
Israel launched its largest and most aggressive attack so far against the Iran-supported Houthis in Yemen on Thursday. The Israeli airstrikes hit the rebel-controlled capital's international airport, damaging the runway and control tower. At least six people died and dozens were injured in multiple strikes, according to Yemen's state-run news agency.
For more on the escalation of fighting, we go now to NPR international correspondent Carrie Khan in Tel Aviv. Hi, Carrie.
