1:02 am
u. s. constitution's guarantee of liberty protects the right to personal privacy. and a woman's absolute right to an abortion car e. there's at least one abortion clinic in every state, and most of them live within an hour's drive of one. but 13 states have already passed so called trigger laws that will automatically ban abortion as soon as ro is over, timed, and clinics would likely shut down and at least $22.00 states. while all makers planned to either ban or restrict access to abortions, the organization planned parenthood says 36000000 women in the u. s. would lose access to a safe abortion on the states of move to enshrine abortion rights. ice is like the launch, which was approved an amendment to guarantee reproductive rights. algae there is patty colleen reports now from washington. i, a late night leak and an impromptu protest. the majority of supreme court justices apparently toys to decide that the ability to have an abortion in the united states
1:03 am
is not a constitutional right, meaning tens of millions of american women could soon find themselves unable to get the procedure. president joe biden warned the impact could go far wider, basically says, all the decision, your private life will, you know whether or not you decided to see the child and not worry about the voice of others. what are the, how you raise your child? what is your fuel? does this mean that in florida they can decide are going to pass a law at the supreme court today? politicians and protesters came out earlier. i mean, i, this is the 1st time that i've ever attended a protest and actually made a sign for it. anger at a decision. they say, well,
1:04 am
impact only the most vulnerable. it's going to hurt the people that need help care the most. it's going to hurt the poor. it's gonna hurt women of color or black and brown women. it always has, you know, wealthy women have always had privilege. well, the women have always had access to health care and abortions. planned parenthood, a large pro abortion rights organization says, assuming the draft decision is final, the repercussions will be huge if the roe vs wade is overturned. that means that already about $26.00 states across the country of $35000000.00 women plus would lose access to abortion. oh, but those on the other side of the debate are rejoicing at the news just this. robert said that that was not in chic draft. so we're very happy to hear that. and hopefully i will stay with that draft and that will be the decision to overturn roe
1:05 am
vs wade court observer. say this, anti abortion vote is only possible because former president donald trump was able to nominate 3 conservative justices. 2 of those justices testified that roe v wade was settled law. now, some senators are saying they were lied to. congress could try to pass a law to make abortion legal across the country. but in this congress that is likely to be a tough cell. meaning that this will likely become the dominant issue in the upcoming mid term elections. chief justice of the supreme court, john roberts says, this is just a draft we'll find out in late june, early july. if this decision is final particle, haine al jazeera at the supreme court or chaper tonchee is in washington outside the supreme court, where we have seen the fallout from the sleet document that is really re ignited the debate of abortion. there in the u. s. she have, what is the atmosphere like, why you are numbers of swell. then we go there about 2 hours ago. there are any,
1:06 am
a few 100 people who are actually only all of protesting the possibility that this could be the final judgement from the court on abortion. now we have several thousands my sources and still protesting the possibility that lita is preliminary draft. that would become the final draft. we keep on hearing that there might be some sort of counter protest and so the police putting up barricades and that sort of thing. but right now they sign about. this is a, this is a 1000 demonstration. thousands of people actually who were shocked by the possibility that this might become, this might become like we're joined by one of the protest is allison, can as and what, what did you think when you heard just how, how severe, just as elite is draw a ruling was the honest, i wasn't very surprised, but i was very disappointed and very careful about what does it mean for like our world and our people. and it's interesting because we've had a great deal about the personal health coach with this. the us already has worked
1:07 am
with total mortality rates and industrial as well, but, but some of the signs that you and your friends were carrying were talking about the so you see like a normal consequence. this is what were you focusing on that? yeah, absolutely. i think you can't really a ban abortion, but you can certainly ban safe abortion this gender white. well, women will continue to find ways whether it's by traveling to places to continue to get abortions. and so this is the early fact a women living on the brink of the women living at the intersection of various different types of oppression. and so when you add to that on affordable health care and affordable child care, it's just going to further solidify income inequality that already exists. and so you're currently holding actually very stock message as well, who defy road that is get the law to protect a woman's right to choose what hope you have. i've seen that happen to certainly the federal level. i mean, it's frankly tough to say right now, i think all i can said we're here to try to apply pressure to try to show them that
1:08 am
this is facts like tons of people. and that a lot of us really care about this issue where we see the democratic strategists been very worried that in this round of elections coming up about younger, younger demographic, we may have been disappointed by job, by not really fulfilling all the old promises on the environment on the economy on student data, all these things that he made on the campaign truck. you think this might have an effect on, on your younger ladies like you so they don't really like your friends? yeah, i think it does have an effect, but i think, you know, to begin with, we knew what kind of presidential joe biden was, i think more than influence any sort of vote or any influence, any sort of opinion and kind of way it's, we're realistic about what we need to do, we know that we need to work with politics like joe biden, and so this is voicing our our opinion to be heard. how can thank you very, very much. and that is before the democrats have been, have been spent on this issue for decades. joe biden, when he 1st sent to congress, he was against his anti abortion in the eighty's. he sort of vacillated back and then any, any of them in the late rome, did he become nancy pelosi,
1:09 am
he took out of washington, the affordable care act leave of alma katherine insisted on that and actually often tried to progresses for fighting against democrats, who are anti abortion because he says it just spits, spits the vote and scares off conservative voters who are in the m that favorite. my favorite demographic. even brock obama on the campaign trail, said he would codify rove us his weight as the 1st. ringback order of business, he told us to planned parenthood on the campaign. trouble once he got into office. he said very clearly, this is not his. his biggest is biggest priority. i'm as always, that somebody's national dream. democrats have always, rather like this issue, no matter the enormous potential close to women, because it does mean to have a wedge issue to bring out even the most effective basis when it comes time for the mid term elections. so we'll see whether that's how they play somebody. the noise is we're getting from biden and others is very much, this is going to go out of state by state issue. they're not going to try for some kind of federal hydro movement. try maybe and the filibuster specifically just on
1:10 am
this or she may be using some republican sentences, you felt that they've been led to the census. perhaps they will. this will just be, i could get out the vote and in the midterm. and then we'll make sure that we could do better next time. and that seems to be the, the sense we're getting from dc, right. but our thank you very much for the latest from washington that she have bra tansy, thanks you have. meanwhile, several democratic states are moving to enshrine laws, protecting the right to an abortion one such state is vermont, where kesha, ram hinsdale, is a democratic senator and also currently a candidate for congress. she says the reversal of roe v wade would not only be an attack on women's health, but also on many fundamental freedoms. i think many of us are trying to understand the breadth of impact that this decision could have. and also, if the nature of the leak now means that so much of this language is cemented in an incredibly extreme place. because what we're learning is that this legal opinion would not just roll back the clock on access to abortion,
1:11 am
but access to contraception. and the right to privacy for, for gay men and for l g b, t, community. so we're looking at such a drastic decision when you talk about people's privacy as it relates to roe v wade and other settled law or what we thought was settled law. and so yes, we are looking at not only everyone's loss of a right to privacy and access to health care, but particularly in the case of abortion and contraception. draconian laws that will not take into account whatsoever, rape incest, the house of the mother, even the house of the baby. ah, more than a 100 people evacuated from the besieged city of mario paul reached the safety of the city of upper regia, which is controlled by ukrainian forces. now this group includes women and children
