senator john cornyn, for example, it said, and i'm quoting him now. it doesn't make any exceptions for conscience. it's a phony vote because contraception, to my knowledge, is not illegal it's not unavailable. what's your response to him know this this actually protects the providers. >> it protects the individual so that they can get access to to to contraception in no way does it infringed upon anyone's religious rites if, you don't want to have access to contraception, it's your right it's the same thing is true if you're a provider, you are protected. this just goes to the right for someone to get it if they wanted the right for a provider to issue two ride a contraception if you want it. so that is absolutely in erroneous attack upon this piece of legislation. >> the topic of contraceptives was on the front page of the washington composed today saying, and i'm quoting now from the washington post far-right conservatives are sewing misinformation that inaccurately characterizes iuds emergency contraception. even birth control pills as causing abor

but republican senator john cornyn calls the bill absurd and it's a waste of time here.irth control access is not in jeopardy from republicans or anyone else. contraception is available in every state in america and there's no legitimate effort to change that. that senator tim kaine disagrees pointing to the supreme court's decision to overturn abortion rights for those who are saying, oh, this is a non-issue. go back and read the dobbs decision. reid, the invitation that was made by the court to go after contraception, though, senator john thune claims this bill is all for political show. these boats have nothing to do with legislating and everything to do. with boosting democrats electoral chances. democrats are also pushing a separate bill to ensure access to in vitro fertilization. they're hoping to bring that up for a vote in the coming weeks. >> in washington, i'm hannah brandt. >> all right, hannah. well, the news basically never stops here. kron 4. no, it doesn't. so let's go and check in with noelle bellow for what's coming up a little later on tonight. i know.

gop senator john cornyn said, quote, it's a phony vote because contraception to my knowledge, is not illegal. it's not unavailable. your response well, as you pointed out, the supreme court overturned roe versus wade two years ago, that rested on the fundamental right to make these bodily decisions for oneself and contraception could be in the crosshairs, neck it's really important that we codify in federal law that there is a right to contraception so i would disagree with any notion that people should not be concerned. >> we saw what happened with ivf in alabama you've got to be sure that the whole range of reproductive health care is guaranteed in federal law. we can't just depend on the courts nancy, i don't want to make you have to speak for conservatives, but because you live in breathe, this issue, maybe you can help us understand there are viewpoint they want to ban all abortion and they want to ban various methods of contraception. so is the goal to have more babies in the us that the parents of the system can't afford and care for. >> how do they explain what the consequenc

here's what senator john cornyn, of course, a texas republican who is running to become the senate republicander this fall. what he had to say today. >> it's not a serious attempt to legislate. this is just a show vote and anticipation of the election. democrats think they can win this case. this election based on reproductive rights. >> okay, so, professor, republicans claim that contraception is not under fire. >> well, that's just simply inaccurate in this space and time. since the well, let's put it this way, before the dobbs decision, there were many that said that the supreme court would never overturn a right to abortion, that the supreme court had never taken a right of way. and so many were shocked by the dobbs decision. and in this wake of dobbs, what we've seen in arizona in 1864, abortion law coming to fruition, we've seen the supreme court and the state of alabama, banning in-vitro fertilization. and so one can't rely on what republicans are saying in that regard because at the state level, which is where these issues are being litigated, there are lawmakers that are calling for

hopefully john cornyn ahead today, we're working our way in that direction. very, very slowly. we're still very warm and we are going to be looking at another day of 80's 90's. e> but we're not as hot as yesterday. and that's the important difference from where we were yesterday. skies are crystal clear and temperatures will again rise into the 90's. i mention this before the break. but conquered the world 102, yesterday today you're only going to be at 90 degrees spots like san jose, which we're at 92 yesterday are still going to be at 90 today. so really that difference just depends on where you're at and how exposed you are to introduction of cool coastal air which is slipping right back into the bay this morning. the biggest difference will be for areas near the bay shore and especially exposed to the golden gate. we still have that high pressure ridge in place. and we still do have those heat advisories too. you can see the change in wind direction long gone is the blocking offshore wind. it is definitely converted to a nice mild delta breeze that is pushing on inland acro

senator john cornyn said the alito recording was part of a, and i'm quoting here, campaign of harassment against the court which is kind of what we just heard from the justice. but i wonder what your reaction is to hearing what justice alito has had to say. >> right. so people can debate the tactics that were used to obtain this recording. but the problem is we hear justice alito in his own words articulating a vision that no judge who's sitting on a court, particularly not the supreme court should be embracing. we expect our judges to be neutral umpires, and, look, judges are human beings. they have their own personal views, what they're asked to do and what they take an oath to do is set their personal views aside when they act as judges. that's the problem here. the conflation of the judge's personal views with the way he sits on the bench. and then, chris, just the last thing i'll say is, this is a casual public conversation with someone he doesn't know, and if he's willing to be this free and to go this far in that format, we have to be very concerned about how he's conducting his b
