>> good to see you. >> there has been a lot of dark clouds, and a lot of bad news today. >> there is very brief good news, as you said. it was a mixed week. actually, whats happened in missouri, the context here is, the state has passed so many outrageous regulations on women and doctors that there is only one health center remaining in st. louis that provides safe and legal abortion. and now, because they havent been able to do this legislatively, theyre essentially using state regulations to s...

Fiemts might not last very long. i dont think the supreme court is going to go in that direction. instead what i think is a longer term problem is the chipping away at roe. as im sure you know there is no affirmative right to reproductive justice. its just implied. and so its hard to protect. >> and its happening in state after state. there are upward of 30 states that have imposed restrictions they dont look like alabama or mississippi or missouri. >> right. and again, i think that if you want ...

The streets about knows as well. i mean, its -- its in some ways you know its ka that is rightic to see the fight about the extreme bills but there is a part of me that feels like those fiemts might not last very long. i dont think the supreme court is going to go in that direction. instead what i think is a longer term problem is the chipping away at roe. as im sure you know there is no affirmative right to reproductive justice. its just implied. and so its hard to protect. >> and its happening...

Clinics and the trap laws and the limits and having to wait overnight makes it economically inaccessible in a country that practically as soon as it codified abortion as legal passed a legislative rider that prevented poor women from using federal insurance to pay for abortion. abortion is ever more inaccessible ever since it became legal and a lot of people have been pointing this out and yelling about it and arguing about it and filing lawsuits about it. we have always been cold we were hyster...

Of americans in this country. vast swaths of the nation where you have to travel hours, hundreds of miles to get an abortion because the chipping away laws, the closing of clinics and the trap laws and the limits and having to wait overnight makes it economically inaccessible in a country that practically as soon as it codified abortion as legal passed a legislative rider that prevented poor women from using federal insurance to pay for abortion. abortion is ever more inaccessible ever since it ...
