2:02 pm
a landmark ruling on abortion rights. protestors from both sides gathered outside the supreme court. it's been considering whether to overturn the 1973 judgement known as roe v wade that legalized abortions across the country. i'm very passionate about being her life. and i'm just curious as to what the attitude is like and kind of witness history because this is a huge deal. it's expected to issue its ruling in june, but the draft written by conservative justice samuel leto suggests the top court would find the rosie way decision was wrongly decided. because the u. s. constitution makes no specific mention of abortion rights. this is really just tearing apart everything that we've worked or, and everything. all the change that we've worked for to happen. it would represent a seismic shift and us politics pushing decisions on abortion rights back to individual states. oh, it could also have
2:03 pm
a major impact on upcoming midterm elections as well as the presidential vote in 20 . 24 will be on the safe side. and regardless, california we'll, we'll keep illegal here. but other states like texas and others were in the red states are pretty, are 21 states or waiting with legislation to. ready restrict abortion or to band altogether right now at this point, you're waiting for this kind of decision. several conservative states have recently joined a growing push to restrict abortions. some activists are calling for legislation at the federal level to protect rights. but we need mass pro does in hundreds of cities across the nation to defend really weight. and we also need to go on the offensive to these mass road as action call workplace actions by the labor movement for abortion, and reproductive care to be free. oh, wow. the unprecedented league has smart controversy across the us,

the draft rule and can only become final when it's published by the court. alex o'brien alto 0 or there's been plenty of reaction to the league with us. how speaker nancy pelosi saying that if the report is accurate, the supreme court's decision would go down as one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history. she said it would be the greatest restriction of rise in the past. 50 years, not just on women. on the republican side, the senator for arkansas, tom cotton says the supreme court and the department of justice must get to the bottom of this league. he adds roe v wade was a gregory asleep wrong from the beginning, and i pray the court follows the constitution and allows the states to once again protect unborn life. earlier we spoke to natasha lyn state who's a professor of u. s. government. she says the courts are becoming increasingly politicized. this is just significant. this is monumental that this would be overturned because this
2:05 pm
is something that women who are needed to get an abortion have been able to have the right to do so, because there was this court ruling on this at least 60 percent to up to 69 percent of the american public supports, robi wade, supports women have the right to choose. you only have polling of about 2728 percent that want to overturn moving weight. so it's really just a minority. it's a very vocal minority, a very passionate minority, but it is just a minority. and whether not the democrats can, can tap into the anger and the backlash that this is going to have. the courts have become increasingly politicized. and this has been going on for some time now, but it, it got expedited under the trumpet administration where we have judges that clearly have ideological views. and that's not supposed to be with the supreme court is about they're supposed to be looking at the laws, interpreting the laws in the constitution,
2:06 pm
and they're supposed to be completely on bias. and now instead we're seeing judges that are viewed as attached to a particular president, like with this recent nominations under the trump administration. so we have already have issues with the supreme court, which was the one institution that had a lot of support in terms of being considered legitimate. but we're seeing that in many of the american, many of the american public is doubting how a political this organization actually is. ah, the war in ukraine now and more than $200.00 civilians remain at the huge seal plant in the city of mary a fall. according to the mayor. russian forces reportedly cited shelling the plan soon after at least a 100 civilians were evacuated on sunday. the roofs on its way as operation along with other evacuees from the city. oh dad to her lead reports from where the convoy from mary paul is headed. we don't know yet whether they crossed into
