couples in connecticut. the supreme court said that the due process liberty cause includes a right to privacy, over into intimate decision-making. so, the point is that justice alito's decision would apply also, presumably, to the right to privacy in contraception. we know, of course, that there is a right wing war on contraception now. but if casey is to, fall if roe v. wade is to fall, then griswold versus connecticut, presumably is to follow as well. because the word contraception or birth control doesn't appear in the constitution. indeed, the phrase right to privacy doesn't appear in the constitution, so this would appear to be an invitation to have handmaids type anti feminist regulation and legislation all over the country. all that is perfectly in keeping with justice alito's opinion, which admittedly i just read in the last 20
dissent or he mayy have decided if he could not sign with the majority. but the decisionmaty. itself has aspects to of the type of analysis we've seen from justice alito who does not believeite that this right is found in the constitution as opposed to resting with the states. >> we have former doj attorney james truste with us as well tonight . james, bernie sanders tweeted something moments ago saying congress must pass legislation a that codifies roe vs. wade as the law of the land and if there aren't 60 votes in the senate to do it and there are not, we musthe end the filibustr to pass it with 50 votes. well,,vo this seems like the gol of the leaker, jim . goal. i mean, this that seems prettyvi obvious at this point.ou i mean, alreadydy with the politics, the second this thingl dropped and politico is like almost like they had it planned ahead of time, almost like

the heart beat law is in effect in texas over 100 lives of children are saved. clinics have shut down. they have pulled back their hours of abortion clinics and meanwhile you have 164 pregnancy resource centers open in texas who are helping women with their children, with their pregnancies, helping them choose life. it's a wonderful day for the pro-life fight. ainsley: lila, how did you get so involved in this mission? you wrote a book about it you made it your life's work. >> i got about it because i found out about the problem. once you find out about crisis of abortion. the development. heart beat 3 and a half weeks. brain waves forming by six weeks. you see the humanity of the child and learn the death toll. today listen in our country 2300 children are killed every single day by abortion. it's leading death toll, more than covid, heart disease, cancer, any other cause of death. once you see the human rights of the child and you see that abortion doesn't empower women, it hurts us.
are the numbers like that? he got president of the united states, is the white house concerned? >> no doubt that men poll better with president trump than women do, but women did vote for president trump. you know, right now, the hot button issue, of course, is immigration. we have a shutdown going on. abortion doesn't really seem to be on the table. the questions what are they targeting here as far as women's issues. neil: judy kirtz of the hill, thank you very much. i thought i was going to have both simultaneously. we have the national committee chair joining us on the phone. ron, i'll ask you what i was just raising with judy, the possibility that whatever happens with these protests, this is where republicans have to do some better work to get women voters or female voters. and get them at least more of them on their side. do you agree? >> yeah, that's why the rnc is
here. we always appreciate you popping by. you spoke at the rally, as we saw in the report. i want you to take a listen to what the executive vice president of planned parenthood said to cnn earlier today. >> when they talk about defunding, americans need to know what rear talking about is cutting women off of cancer screenings breast exams. birth control, all std testing and treatment, abortion doesn't come into play at all with federal funding. >> the argument is that none of the federal money pays for abortion. that is separate funding, and by defunding planned parenthood you would be eliminating all these other vital procedures? which you as a doctor know? i know you oppose legal abortion what's your response? >> my response would be that all of the services that she mentioned are available through multiple other sources. and to take an organization that not only makes money by selling
but the money goes into one pot. they don't believe there's a line between funding for abortion mammograms and birth control. what is the answer? >> there are very strict rule that is govern abortion providers including the very unfair amendment that prohibits federal funding for going to abortions. >> why is that unfair? >> because poor women are denied abortion care in this country as a result of the high demand. that is the law of the land and we follow the law of the land at planned parenthood in every way? this is absolutely -- when they talk about defunding, americans need to know what we are talking about is cutting women off of cancer screenings breast exams, birth control, all std testing and treatment. abortion doesn't come into play at all with federal funding. >> how do you make sure no federal funds ever go towards
