9:03 pm
a sad day for the country make no mistake. this decision is a combination of a deliberate effort over decades upset balance of our law. it's a realization of an extreme ideology in a tragic error by the supreme court. in my view, the court has done what is never done before. expressly take away a constitution, right? it is so fundamental. so many americans already been recognized. top democrats of voice, their disapproval, the speaker of the us house of representatives. nancy pelosi reacted to the ruling such a contradiction. yesterday. the say the states cannot make laws governing the constitutional right to bear arms. and today, they're saying the exact reverse that the state can overturn
9:04 pm
a constitutional right for 50 years. a constitutional right for one, having the right to choose that policy is raging. but the harm is endless. republican members of congress hailed the ruling as a momentous victory. we are entering a new era of freedom, a freedom for the unborn, and i am proud to have always been on the side of pro my pro life brothers and sisters who stand here with me to day and all across america. we always knew we would realize true freedom for all americans. the people of one of victory, the right to life has been vindicated. the voiceless will finally have a voice. this great nation canal live up to its core principle that all are created equal, not born equal, created equal,
9:05 pm
the reaction to this principle decision by the court. it must be peaceful. and the d. o. j must step up to protect our justices their families, churches, and pro life pregnancy centers from unprovoked violence. let's go live to washington . our white house correspondent, kimberly how could to is with us or the president. kimberly cooling this a sad day for the country. yeah, the u. s. president. very clear that he believes that this is going to put women in danger because there are a large number of states, roughly half that now will make it illegal for women to get an abortion. in other words, the u. s. president saying that the health and life of women are risk and that he believes that the decision by the supreme court is not consistent with the broad pulling of the american public. and it is true that when you look at the sort of
9:06 pm
national perspective of most americans, they do support a woman's right to an abortion. but when that occurs is open to debate. many americans believe that it should happen early in the pregnancy. at the later the pregnancy progresses, the more there is a dispute about whether or not there is a right to an abortion. so there is not a broad consensus as the president made the case. still there is this feeling that there is a pathway for women to get some sort of access to abortion, and that is what the president is arguing. so he is saying that there is really an argument to be made that this should be something that women still have access to. but what he also said is that he doesn't believe that he is the one that can do that. initially we had thought the president would put in place some executive orders to overturn the decision by the court. but the president made very clear
9:07 pm
that he would not do that. instead, what he said is that he would hand this to voters in order for b, u. s. congress to try and codify roe v wade as the law of the land for the last roughly half century in order to try and make this happen through the legislative process following congressional elections in november. the president also said that this has now become an issue for the midterm elections. what did he mean by that? yeah, what he means essentially, is that ro is on the ballot. fact that's exactly what he said. he wants this to be something that the voters decide and there's a reason for that. there are really 2 big reasons. the 1st is that the president is very mindful that he cannot look like an imperial president that has a lot to do with american history. the pushing back against the monarchy. it's
9:08 pm
rooted in american history. and as a result, americans have a kind of a co equal branch of just of, of government where the presidency, the u. s. congress, and the supreme court are all equal in their power. in other words, he doesn't want to exercise more power by overturning with the supreme court has done. instead, he's handing it to the people to try and overturn this and voice their opinion on this. so what he's saying is elect democrats that the president's party, who favor abortion, and do this in large numbers. and they can codify this in legislation that would give the people of voice. and this would be the broad consensus that people are looking for. but the other thing the president's doing is a bit of political maneuvering here. this is an unpopular president at the moment because of his low marks on the economy. so he's also calculating that this could give him a bit of a boost in the polls. he knows that there are
9:09 pm
a lot of people that may have voted against him in november or his party. that is, there is no presidential election in november, but congressional elections of his party, and that he was going to lose support in the congress. now he may gain it and get a wider number of democrats elected to the u. s. house of representatives and the senate. and this would be good news for the president, because not only could the abortion be codified in the legislature, but this would mean that other things, the press it wants to achieve could also be accomplished. whereas right now, it was looking pretty dim for him. and that he could be a lame duck president. this could spell good news for the president and the new sort of the last 2 years out of his term in office. so this is something the president is helping will get people at the polls support his party and in bigger rate his to next 2 years of his term. our white house correspondent,
9:10 pm
kimberly how could bare reporting live from washington. many thanks indeed to kimberly his look at how the supreme court judges voted on friday. there are mine judges in total 6 of them voted in favor of overturning road versus way, and they are john robins, sunny le leto, clarence thomas neal. go such brit capital and amy county, barrett's justices, stephen bryan, sonya, soma, and elena kagan, the court, 3 liberal justices, filed a dissenting opinion. let's go live to algiers. protocol hangers outside the supreme court. a major ruling here by the supreme court. it's been described as being catastrophic by some of that been protests throughout the day outside the petty filipino scene for you. we've been here every single day where there's a decision day, the days that the court say that there may be a decision in one scene every day was some pro abortion right. some anti abortion rights? this morning, it was a fairly small crowd,
9:11 pm
really 10 after 10 in the morning. local time, you heard the pra, anti abortion rights group, just rocked and cheers. the decision was, in fact out. now i want to give it a little bit of context. what this case is about was a kid, a law in mississippi that said, you couldn't have an abortion after 15 weeks, the justices could have ruled on abortion and limited to that. but they went ahead and decided to overturn the entire roe v wade. they basically said we can do this because the world, the law at the the decision was the wrong decision. that is pretty unheard of what of the supreme court. in fact, the 3 justices that tilted the court said under oath when they wanted the job that roe v wade was settled law and that they wouldn't necessarily move to overturn it. but they have in fact done that. so now what we expect in the weeks and months ahead, $26.00 states in this country are going to make it illegal to have an abortion. they'll probably try to push a little bit further. but i have a guest that i want to introduce you to. it's jamie madsen. she is the president
9:12 pm
for president of catholics for choice. if you could explain, a lot of people across the globe don't understand the intricacies of our supreme court. faith is impacting this court more than i think any we've had in our history . explain that. yeah, 6 of 9 justices are catholic, a 71 of them was raised catholic and so you have a disproportionate number of catholics on the court to begin with. 5 of those catholics are radically anti choice. and the problem is that doesn't reflect the catholic landscape of this country where the majority of catholics actually support abortion rights. 68 percent of catholics did not want to see row versus wait struck down today. but you believe that this is in large part due to the 50 years of actions by the catholic church. what have they done? yeah, they, they started watching abortion rights liberalization of abortion laws back in the sixty's. because the church has been for a 100 years against abortion, claiming its murder from day one. and so they started this campaign and
9:13 pm
evangelicals in the late 1970, started to see that it was what they called a respectable issue, that they could animate their based on. and so they made a very, very deliberate pivot to make this a political issue that they would animate evangelical christians about and with catholics, you know, and they got a seat at the republican table. and it has been a long game of 40 years. and we are seeing the fruition of it today. so when you heard the decision, what was your, what was your emotions? what was your rich? wow. you know, we, this has been hanging over a heads for a while. we knew because of the leak, it was possible, but it was still shocking to see rights taken way, retrenched in now instead of expand, which is what we expect of this court and of this country has been gutting today. really, there been some democrats who say because of the way this decision is written and all the other cases that were protected. the 14th amendment, that l g b t rights could be gone, same sex marriage ah, a contraception. do you think that they can actually possible, i mean,
9:14 pm
this country's well 50 years of having the ability to get drunk or sucked? exactly. yeah, i'm a lesbian, myself. and so i watched those parts of the, the issues as well. and absolutely was said in the decision today, i mean, they just put it out there that any, any rights they're protected under privacy under the 14th amendment are now need to be reviewed and revisited. and so they're being very clear about them. are you worried? are you worried that your ability to get be married will be taken away? absolutely, absolutely. i'm what we see right now was a white nationalist christian agenda taking over this country, hijacking this court. and, and it is very frightening. and i hope this is a wake up call to day for america. when they see that in the decision that all l g b, t q, people hold people over honorable people of color were already had their voting rights stripped away, realized that we are all vulnerable and we need to unite as one and demand the future that we deserve in this country, but you're not gonna change the 6 justices mind. so how do you get you? how do you get a bat? exactly. it's for us, the 1st thing we need,
9:15 pm
we need an equal rights amendment or not guaranteed our rights and under the constitution, 85 percent of countries have a gender provision in their constitution. we don't, that's why we're so vulnerable. we've had the ratification is complete for the equal rights amendment. we need the president to publish it. we need congress to remove the deadline element odd to eliminate the deadline that was imposed on it years ago. and, and you know, that would be a new day for us, but until we have our yo, our rights and numerated and trying to the constitution, we're going to keep having these fights. we're gonna have to keep fighting for our rights. thank you. thank you very much. miss mansell, you appreciate it. thank you so much food. so, roby weighed more than 50 years ago, or almost 50 years ago. it didn't just change women's access to abortion. it had much broader consequences. abortion wasn't always controversial in the united states. it was legal when the country was founded up until what they called the quickening when the mother could
9:16 pm
feel the baby around 4 months by the 18 eighty's abortion was outlawed across most of the country. it stay that way until the sixty's, as the woman's movement came into force, pressure mounted on the court. first it's struct at a law, the ban, so in birth control to married couples. then later for unmarried adults, family planning information services. then movie weighed in 1973, change the lives of millions of women, allowing all abortions in the 1st trimester and some restrictions in the 2nd. a decision reaffirmed several times since by the supreme court, before the decision on ro, wealthy women could travel out of the country for the procedure. but for lower income women getting an abortion often meant going to unsafe clinics. in 196517 percent of all dest due to pregnancy, were the results of illegal abortions. and after ro, there was an economic impact. women could choose to stay in the workforce. they could start, for example,
9:17 pm
on an advanced education program. they could get accepted in just such a program because a school would say, i find incredible that this woman will actually complete her education and not drop out because she'll be able to plan it, allow women to invest in careers as opposed to just jobs because they could they could follow paths that involved investment rather than being viewed by employers as people who are sort of here today gone tomorrow. studies have shown that women who leave their job to care for their child even for a short time, rarely recoup their earning potential. and many can for child care in this country, which now cost an average of $14000.00 per year. there are some economic studies that say there is also a link between legal abortions and a drop in crime. this reversal will now mean half of the women in the country are a bell to find out what life was like before. roe v wade a half a century ago, especially for women with little means have
9:18 pm
a child. they don't want or risk their lives to illegally get an abortion. paddling al jazeera washington, california is among 3 west coast states that have jointly pledged to protect abortion rights. i'll just do as rob reynolds is with us now. live from los angeles won't tell us more about to california, is position on abortion rights on the reaction there to today's ruling. well, adrian, california is, is one of a number of states that have laws on the books, enshrining the woman's right to choose and allowing for legal abortions in the immediate post decision atmosphere that we're in right now. there are 13 states that have so called trigger laws. that means that within 30 days, abortion will be banned in those states that was pre planned by the states just in case of the eventually of roe, vs wade being overturned,
9:19 pm
as of course it has 7 other states have laws are likely to pass laws that will ban abortion they have tried to do so in the past, but have been, those was have been overturned by court decisions. now the supreme court has stepped in, so the, those laws will likely be held constitutional. and there are a number of other states, 10 states, where it's up in the air, the depending upon the composition of the state legislature, whether it's dominated by republicans or democrats, and whether the chief executive, the governor of the state, is a democrat or republican. those states could ban abortion as well, but the remaining states, including here in california are maintaining that they will be a sanctuary for women seeking abortions for coming from those states where they are banned. the problem, of course,
9:20 pm
is that there is an anticipated large flow of people. women coming from states like texas for example, who will come to places like california and put strain on the medical infrastructure that allows for reproductive health care. there's been one study by the university of southern university of california los angeles, that estimates up to 16000 people will be coming to california, most of them to los angeles, from other states seeking abortions that seem to terminate their pregnancies. so naturally this will create a long line essentially of women waiting to have the procedure done and can, could create problems in that regard of the state of california has a proposed in this legislature several millions of dollars to aid in this situation of the a states of washington, oregon, illinois, new york, connecticut,
9:21 pm
other states are also involved in an ass, in telling women in the abortion band states that they can come there. but then again, of course, as has been mentioned here in our coverage, there are remaining questions about the legitimacy going forward of contraception, of same sex marriage gay rights, all things that were set out by the supreme court, but are now called into question by this ruling in ro versus wait, adrian out there as rob reynolds reporting live f in las angeles, rob manufacture date. a majority of americans believe that abortion should be legal, but many of them are also open to restrictions. a poll conducted last month by the pew research center showed that 56 percent believe a woman's stage of pregnancy should be a factor in determining if the procedure is allowed. 12 percent disagree. they believe how long a woman has been pregnant shouldn't play
9:22 pm
a role. just over 30 percent, say that abortion should be legal in all cases, without exception and about us is a pro abortion rights activist who organized protests after a copy of the draft opinion of the supreme court on this issue was leaked last month. she joins us now live from philadelphia. good to have you with us, anna. what was your reaction to today's really think, understandably along with millions of other people across the country in the world, are you angry about this announcement? and i think there's a credit movement in a tap, i'm working people and it represents a victory for the right way. and i'm extremely angry because i don't think that this was an ethical the majority of americans, the court director, abortion. unfortunately, the democratic party, you know, just the right way has been on the years,
9:23 pm
the democratic party hadn't done anything actually protect our rights to reproductive rights to abortion. so where does the movement go now? i think we have to look to the past, look to how abortion ready for why in the us. it was not handed down by the court. it wasn't handed down by politicians. it was one through math movement at work. people st using class struggle methods like back protests with millions of people taking action in their workplaces organizing, walk out to their school and shutting down than usual. and i think that's the direction that we need to go in to complete lack of leadership from the democrat party. and they want to hold this out now in a way and tell us to vote blue in november. we've been voting glue again. and again, with the regular working hung over and i think we need a new strategy. we new organization, the n d o. the big deal,
9:24 pm
but planned parenthood new role is now they're tied to the democratic party. we're tied to big corporation and they haven't actually added the necessary in a moment to defend abortion. right. and so i think we need our movement to get organized discussion and to be about strategy about the board. and we need to fight back not going to be enough to just take individual action on to try to know don't need to worry about somebody who can travel or access. 1 those things are good, but they need to be tied to match and on their own a point in the wrong direction because the big, the new reality. and i think we can accept that as much and how concerned are you about the possible ripple effects of this decision? i mean, could it harold great restrictions in other areas of private life and gay marriage, sex and even birth control. thanks protection, i'm sorry,
9:25 pm
contraception. i think there's absolutely no i don't think i think we are in the right way yet again, we're especially again tell you did you write a made it clear that they're coming to an emergency all these hard on it. they're good still tiana many thanks to you for being with us. that some of anna barnett that in philadelphia has put a fair amount of international reaction to the u. s. supreme court decision. canada's prime minister justin trudeau called the ruling horrific on twitter. he said that no government politician or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. brick was prime minister boris johnson said that he thinks the move is a big step backwards. johnson went on to say that his always believed in a woman's right to choose the president of france or money on the crown said that abortion is a fundamental right for all women. but one of the vatican's talk bodies,
9:26 pm
the pontifical academy welcomed the ruling. it said the decision challenge is the whole world to reflect on life is use more than $100.00 health care organizations around the world, including island, the u. k. and mexico have issued a statement calling the ruling a catastrophic blow to millions. professor sharon cameron is the spokeswoman for that for the you case, faculty of sexual and reproductive health care, which is part of the royal college of obstetricians and gynecologists and is among the coalition that signed that statement that she joins us now live from edinburgh . good. have you with a professor, tell us more about this statement and, and why you signed it? well, this a decision today by the u. s. supreme court is considered a cruel and a deplorable attack on the reproductive health and the reproductive rights of women and girls in the us who make up more than half of the population. unless be clear
9:27 pm
here a motion is an essential part of health care and restricting it does not make it go away and does not prevent unintended pregnancy. all it does is lead to unsafe abortion. and we know already the in the world that each year, more than $47000.00 women die as a result of ocean and millions more suffer from disability. as a result, that the statement also says the chilling effect of the ruling will undoubtedly be felt around the world. but what do you mean by that? well, is going to leads to more stigmatization fear amongst women and, and those who provide abortion care and already those who provide abortion care in many parts of the world are subject to threats and abuse. and in the us, this happens and common is commonplace and abortion care providers and have been murdered as a result of it. and what does the statement mean when it says that it's
9:28 pm
a decision that will cost lives for years to come? yet you're talking about a unsafe abortion here. yes, the, every year women die. the results of unsafe abortion. more than 47000 across the world. and millions more suffer from an injury and disability as a result of fats and fit. if abortion saves women's lives and u. s. supreme court, i'm like, why making this decision are essentially saying that women's lives are not worth saving. is this statement going to make any difference? do you think that as far as burs in? certainly in, in, in the us who are a very much will they describe themselves as pro life well, we think this, this statement, we want to urge and other countries as well to make sure we can ensure that good access to safe abortion care for, for women because by am having good access to it to safe abortion care,
9:29 pm
they can prevent the consequences of unsafe emotion on countries that do this. are showing that they're committed to reproductive health of women and reproductive rights and social justice. and that they're showing that they believe that women's lives do matter of women's lives are worth saving, really good stroke to professor that affects the need for being with us professor sharon cameron there. thank you so much. still to come here on out 0, have the rest of the day's news. the governor of ukraine's eastern new hampshire regent says his forces will have to withdraw from an in battle city that's on the russian attack. it's been an important mike for the next generation of basketball stars. details coming up ah

9:33 pm
to an abortion. the conservative dominated court voted to overturn the ruling known as roe vs wade millions of american women and are expected to lose their right to have an abortion. reacting to the verdict, u. s. president joe biden said that it was a sad day for the country. he said the decision was the realization of an extreme ideology. by the said, the cause had taken away a fundamental rights. within the hour since the ruling was announced, some u. s. companies have said that they will help employees who need to go to other states to have an abortion. disney says that it will cover expenses of workers who need to travel to access family planning care from employees, 80000 people in the state of florida, where the governor signed a bill banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. alaska airlines says that despite the ruling, it will continue to reimburse travel costs for its employees who want to undergo
9:34 pm
medical procedures that are unavailable in certain states. well, joe biden says that his administration will defend a woman's right to seek an abortion in another state. if a woman lives in a state that restricts abortion, the supreme court decision does not prevent her from traveling from her home state to the state. it allows it does not prevent a doctor in that state. that's thing from treating her. as the attorney general was made, claire women must, we've rein free to travel safely to another state to seek care they need. my administration will defend that bed rock wright fanny state or local official hire low tries interfere with the woman's ex, exercise in her basic grade. to travel, i will do everything in my power to fight that deeply an american attack. but it's been nearly 50 years since the u. s. supreme court ruled on roe vs wade. the 1973
9:35 pm
decision established the choosing to have an abortion is a right protected by the constitution. 7 of the 9 judges voted in favor of the time they ruled that a fetus has the potential for life in the early stages of pregnancy, but is not a person. and therefore does not have constitutional rights of its own. decades later, restrictions on the procedure vary depending upon state laws, but at least 13 states have what is known as triggered laws that will immediately band or restrict abortion. following this ruling, the state of missouri has already become the 1st state to end and abortion entirely . early i spoke to joe pointman, an anti abortion rights activists, the executive director of texas alliance for life. his what he had to say. after 50 years filing, the court has remedied a terrible wrong that came down with roe vs wade. and reinforced with play apparently be casey and has allowed the states like the state of texas to protect
9:36 pm
unborn babies from the tragedy of abortion. what do you make of president obama's statement that to day it's the most intensely personal decision that someone can make, has been relegated to the whims of politicians and idealogues, attacking the essential freedoms of millions of americans. while he's neglecting that, there are 2 people involved. the pregnant woman and her unborn child who is the person science tells us that has told us that for more than a century. and finally, the court has recognized that the right to abortion is not in our constitution, nor is it in the history of this country. it's an issue for the legislatures and the texas legislature and many other state legislatures will take action to protect unborn babies and to provide compassionate alternatives to abortion. that's certainly what texas has done. it's taking away though a woman's right to make decisions of her. busy own body on, she's correct, but not the the, the state has an interest in protecting the body of the unborn child. of course
9:37 pm
that body within her is not her own body. science tells us that we all know that we all know the unborn child the baby. we all see them babies on the ultrasound, moving around with the fingers and toes, and the people like the president obama. want to allow abortion to happen right up to the moment of birth. and i think most people think that is absolutely a purge a point. so certainly the state of texas and other states have a interest in protecting the life of that innocent on born child for what about an in cases of rape incest. when the, the health of the mother is a severe risk the, the bill that texas has passed and will go into effect in a matter of weeks. it's called the human life protection act has exception for the medical emergencies that are in when, when the pregnancy would threaten the mother's life. but in those very tragic cases of rape, when the woman is a victim,
9:38 pm
the state of texas has an obligation to do everything possible for that woman. but this, but we have to remember there's another victim, and that is the unborn child who is now coming to being and the state of texas must protect the life than one born child. so we want to do what's best for the mother and for the unborn child. and that will be the case when our law is human, like protection that goes into effect. ah, the rest of the res, new survivors, and i've kind of been belly coping with the most destructive earthquake in decades now though an aftershock has killed more people and the remote hard hit areas, at least 1100 people, including a 121 children have died and time villages have been destroyed. people in particular province, a desperate for food, shelter, and drinking water,
