America after that ruling? is it a slow rollout? is it marching in the streets? is it, you know, giant banners being drawn across all abortion clinics, you got to leave, you got to go? what is the impact if roe vs. wade gets overturned before the end of this year? >> i think that is a dangerous proposition because women are -- dont have tendencies of violence, but what women do have is a conviction, and women will be in the streets, and they will demand their government to act. they will demand ...

Providing abortions, a lot of them, women, talking about why theyre doing that, talking about the impact, not only on their services but also to them personally, as we heard that doctor testifying in that house judiciary committee hearing this morning. focusing on the impact of the law and building a record is important and while all eyes really are on the supreme court, i think that you do have the reality on the ground that is happening far beyond washington. >> going back to washington, congr...

Effectively banned abortion. row v wade is supposed to block any state from doing that. today on an expedited schedule the supreme court heard oral arguments. texas wrote the law to evade the protections of roe vs. wade. officials who work for the state of texas arent enforcing it. it is enforced by private citizens in the country who bring lawsuits, who are allowed to bring lawsuits against anyone who provides a woman an abortion in texas. today the arguments was that this should be thrown out.

Went into effect at the start of last month. one challenge to the texas abortion ban has been brought by a clinic in texas called whole womens health and another challenge brought by the biden administration, by the justice department. the supreme court is going to hear arguments back-to-back monday morning one at 10:00 a.m. eastern and the other at 11:00 a.m. eastern. this is a big deal. when the supreme court let the texas abortion ban go into effect it was the first time any state has been ab...

On a constitutional level, sb8, far and away it would be struck down. it is not constitutional. i dont think you need to be an expert to figure that out. but if thats not exactly what is happening here, theres a likelihood it could remain in place. >> the court, i mean, theres an interesting decision here, yasmin, to let this statute stay in effect while the litigation is pending. typically, in a situation like that where were talking about violation of a clear constitutional right, which is the...

Doj lawsuit and the suit by private abortion providers and advocates, and there are two questions that the court has agreed to look at. one is whether or not doj can sue the state of texas and its functionaries and the second question that theyll take up on behalf of both lawsuits is whether or not the texas scheme that uses private vigilante justice purportedly in place of state enforcement is a legitimate statutory scheme. do these beg the ultimate question about sb8s constitutionality? in som...

Carveout because at the end of the day, this is not about playing a political game or punditry. people are being denied the vote that people shed their blood and died for. i take this as seriously as i take the breath im breathing, and one way or another, we have to get this done, and we will not stop until we get it done. so, its good to hear that they are moving rhetorically that way, but its not enough until we get it done. we need a carveout on the filibuster and protect voting rights for pe...

Hands and here we go. probably headed to the supreme court. >> i think that is right in every single front, its right on the issue of racism, its right on the issue of law and order. the original roe vs. wade is totally obsolete now because its based on medicine thats 40 years old and -- 50 years old, its no longer true. i think this is going to be a period of time where american people -- what you find in the left is the big government socialists are a religious movement, a secular religious mo...

This is a state law that can only be challenged in texas state court. remember, brian, this texas law has this bizarre provision that sets up private citizens as essentially bounty hunters, anyone who sues an abortion provider under this law gets their legal fees paid and $10,000 if they win. but because the ban on abortion is enforced only by private citizens, texas says the justice department cant sue because its the regular citizens, not the states, who are enforcing that law. and very quickl...

Were literally pushing them out several weeks. >> theyre literally begging to get in and be seen as quickly as possible. >> our park hill health center in denver has seen a 520% increase in texas patients comparing august to september. >> 520%. >> theres something fundamentally wrong with forcing people to leave their home communities to get healthcare. >> and let me just add this. amy hagstrom miller added the staff are being surveilled constantly from the protesters on our sidewalks to fake pa...
