Writ large but in terms of voters who may not even be particularly engaged in politics. >> brian fallon, what do you think? >> i agree with amy. i think theres sort of two categories of people on the right that are making a judgment about the potential for a backlash here if they do overturn roe or even if they just simply leave roe in tatters but uphold the mississippi ban. i think one group of people, and i would include in it certain justices like justice clarence thomas, justice alito, i thi...

To the brett kavanaugh hearings and the amy coney barrett process surrounding her confirmation. the jurisprudence around the abortion issue is going to completely contribute to an erosion of support for the court as an constitution. we poll all the time on ideas like adding seats to the supreme court and we consistently find by a margin of 2-1, members of the public are telling us that the overturning of roe would be a very strong reason to get on board with the idea of expanding the court and y...

Have and the composition of the supreme court itself so were going to need to create a consensus in the democratic party to deal with that issue. >> congresswoman, ill give you the last word to take on this question of will. of will to fight, not just the process arguments but the moral arguments about what kind of country we want to be. >> well, exactly right, and everything that your panelists have been talking about reminds me of my district, suburban philadelphia. weve all watched pennsylvan...

In the last 24 hours. youve heard people say, well, in 2016, you didnt see the supreme court be a motivating issue for democratic voters and all really on the line then because donald trump was able to end up picking three justices in his four-year term, so if they werent motivated then, whats going to motivate them now? and i think thats foolish. the idea of the hypothetical of roe being taken away versus the reality of it being taken away, i think, is going to provide sea change. weve seen pol...

That want to codify roe on their own state statutes, they can do that and that provides some opportunity to people who are able to leave the state and travel. so there is some momentum. but theres questions still and weve done reporting on what kind of federal action there might be from the womens health protection act to what the fda might be able to do in terms of the medication abortion act. theres a lot to wait and see and see who will step up and want to lead. >> great to see both of you. t...

Have a few seconds here, but really "the new york times" had an article today that is what you just touched on, that this is a movement that has for decades been patient, its been strategic. did pro choice activists get outma nuverred here and is it time to show the strategies weve seen from the other side over the last decades or is that an unfair assessment? >> this was level been a long game and were seeing the fruits of that labor now. in terms of what pro choice lawmakers can do, were seein...

Afford to, women would leave their home state and travel to a place like new york or california because it was legal in those states. we see that starting again already. clinics nearby to texas, including oklahoma, said that they are getting a influx of texas women patients. but as the vigilante bounty hunter part of this law also put that at risk? will the vigilante snitch on your neighbor, to your neighbor over her medical procedures? will that be used to target people who donate money, or oth...

Presidential campaign, barack obama promised there would be a vote on the freedom of choice act. signing that bill, he said, would be the first thing i do as president. he was elected but that did not happen. as recently as 2020, almost every 2020 democratic primary candidate, said the same thing. codify roe v. wade into law if they became president. everyone promises they will do it. it somehow seems to never happen. on the congressional level, democratic congresswomen judy chu of california ha...

Were so anxious, they were so champing at the bit to kill off roe, to take away abortion rights they couldnt wait. they could not wait. they couldnt wait a few months to hear arguments about mississippis law and then a few more months to write an opinion and announce it and go through all the rig ma roll. instead they took this wildly essentially lawless position less than 24 hours after the texas law went into effect in the dead of night. they issued an order that amounts to a shrug. well, you ...

When they finally did it, saying, ah, in a way that actually undercuts the courts own authority, right? that says, yeah, this is unconstitutional, this is in the face of precedent set here in this court, even if we obviously are going to overturn that on a mission to overturn roe, at the moment its still the courts decision. were just going to let this thing go. there was messaging there that is -- that reflects the absolute disdain for and, you know, for the rights to bodily autonomy and dignit...
