Once the law goes into effect, which could be the next couple of months, doctors could face prison time, up to five years.

This is a potent political issue with major repercussions for the 2024 president ial election in arizona, a key battleground state. And there is an effort to have an abortion issue, a ballot issue in november. Whats the status of that . And whats the implication . Yeah. Abortion right supporters who were organizing that push say they have enough signatures to get this on the ballot in november. And there are 10 other states across the country where it is likely that voters will decide come november what kind of Abortion Access their states should have and the political realities are such that since the midterms in 2022 when this has been on the Ballot Voters have chosen to provide some level of Abortion Access. We have seen that in polling, too, with the majority of americans saying that is something they support. It is a tricky issue for republicans to walk right now. We saw some in the gop try to thread that needle when the alabama ivf issue came up, for example. Keep in mind, the democrats are going to make this front and center.

Joining us now is nicole, who lost her daughter in the School Shooting and as you just saw made an emotional impact statement in yesterdays hearing. Good morning to you. Good morning. I bet you imagined those words in that moment many, many times as you have struggled with this grief. What was it like to say them facetoface with these parents . It was almost like a sense of relief. I played, you know, that day over and over in my head. Its a constant reminder of, you know, the events that i went t events i went through that day, and i wanted to let the parents know exactly how i felt that day after watching, you know, Video Surveillance of them and seeing their demeanors and the questions that they had and what they were worried about versus what through that day. Difference of parenting and the difference of, you know, a loving mother and a mother that really just, you know, cared more for herself, and thats exactly what, you know, the Prosecution Team was saying before, too, is that, you know, they were neglecting their child. James and Jennifer Crumbley apologized to the victims families after hearing those statements. What did you think of that . Do you find them to be genuine . No, i do not. I felt like it was a way for them to, again, place blame on, you know, somebody else versus themselves. In those statements there was still no accountability for their actions. There was no remorse. It was, you know, them just saying, you know, we thought we had a good kid, and we did this. You know, especially the way James Crumbley directed a few things. It was just unacceptable. It felt like almost a slap in the face to us again, stating that we were, you know, pushing hard for the facts and just felt like it was more of a disgraceful thing. You sat in court for much of these trials, which is an incredible act of courage to sit through that and have to relive it in that way. The judge handed down a sentence that went beyond the states sends . I think it sends a guidelines, the maximum sentence of up to 15 years. It sends a message. What message do you think it sends . I feel like it sends a message to really listen to your children. There should be accountability for every action that we have. And it sends a message to, you know, parents all around and even grandparents and any kind of guardian that, you know, children come first and they should be the priority. And, nicole, as we close, i want to bring the conversation to where it should be, your beautiful daughter, madisyn. What would you like the world to know about her . Madisyn was a i mean, i feel she still is, but she was such a kind soul. I mean, i said a short briefing of what she was in my impact statement and in the impact statement prior, but she really was that heartbeat to our family. She just constantly put herself last. She always wanted everybody to smile. She was a great student. She was an incredible big sister, really always looking out for her siblings, especially her brother who is special needs. She made a difference. Thats exactly who she was. Witty and the charisma, i miss her very much. Well, we remember her very much. Thank you for being here. We appreciate it. Thank you.
