hi, my name ideals, the french republic, his loan proclaimed. but just what is modern? france in a 4 part series, but big picture takes an in depth look. the trouble with france episode won on al jazeera, examining the impact of today's headlines yesterday. our electricity was torn and tall as this paul alive, setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussion. if somebody comes to gonna from europe, then never called an immigrant, the always known as an x path. international filmmakers in world class journalists bring programs to inform and inspire. we live one people on this one planet and we've got to work the solutions together on al jazeera the u. s. supreme court overturns a decades old ruling known as roe vs wade. the guaranteed nationwide abortion

rights for women. ah, i'm how much m jerome? this is al jazeera alive from door ha. also coming up. the court literally taking america back a 150 years is a sad day from the country mark celebrations and anger across america, as the country remains deeply divided over women's right to terminate their pregnancy. ukraine tells its forces to withdraw from the devastated city of severity, and that's as russia moves to take the complete control of the east. and after suffering a double election blow, britton's prime minister defends his plan to the port migrants to rwanda at a commonwealth summit in kigali. ah,

millions of women in the us are expected to lose access to abortions after the supreme court struck down a ruling making it a constitutional right. the conservative dominated court voted in favor of overturning the roe vs wade ruling, which was passed almost 50 years ago in 1973 particle. hain reports from washington, dc. ah, for some this is what they've been working to for almost 50 years. as the supreme court decides, access to an abortion is no longer a constitutional right now, the states can decide and $26.00 states are likely to ban abortions in the coming weeks and months. once those words were read that the decision reveal it was reverse. i had to kind of this mix of release and excitement. it's really hard to describe, but a bunch of us to start bursting into tears. i outside the supreme court pro

abortion rights activist cried enraged at a court. many of them consider illegitimate. confronted the anti abortion rights activists, i well, both acknowledged, they had no hope of change. mind. it's hurtful. there are women die. there are people who are going to go to jail for things they can't control in their own body . because people who make the laws don't understand, i will not stop being pro white because science is on our side. president joe biden was quick to condemn the decision. it's a sad day for the court and for the country. now with ro gone, must be very clear. the health and life of women of this nation, are now at risk. this decision basically said that the robi way decision was simply wrong. it is highly unusual for supreme court to overrule precedent, especially one of this importance. so this court is unlikely to change its mind.

now the focus turned to congress to try and get a law. the guarantees, abortion access power concedes nothing without a demand, never has never will. do i think it's realistic that they will restore abortion rights. if we sit home, hell, know, do i think if we come out and raise bloody hell if we flood these streets and don't go home? absolutely, we can compel them to restore legal abortion on demand across the country and nothing less than that is acceptable. holes showed the majority of americans didn't want this decision to happen, how much they care will determine if this is a permanent new reality. in america, had equal haine al jazeera at the supreme court. as we mentioned, it's been nearly 50 years since the u. s. supreme court ruled on ro versus wade, the 973 decision established the choosing to have an abortion is a right protected by the constitution. 7 out of the 9 judges voted in favor at the time they ruled 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 on state laws, but at least 13 states have what's known as trigger laws that will immediately ban or restrict abortion. after this ruling, the state of missouri has already become the 1st state and abortion entirely. republican members of congress are hailing the ruling as a momentous victory. you're 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, 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. rosalind jordan has more from washington dc. there are many in his administration who argue that joe biden didn't really have any offers that he could put forward in the form of an executive order. that's something that would not have to get congressional approval. what he did reiterate is that to one, using the so called morning after drug or medicines used to induce a chemical abortion. those have been legalized by the food and drug administration . and so there was that re confirmation that using that medicine is still legal in

all 50 states, and that individual states cannot band the user or the purchase of those medicines . the other thing which the administration did reconfirm on friday is that people have the freedom of transit between all 50 states. no state can impose a barrier on any person who wants to travel to another state in order to obtain an abortion. but beyond that, no executive orders, certainly one matter, protecting the patience of privacy under what's known as hipaa. that is something that possibly could have been covered by an executive order. because we have already seen in one case in texas, where a woman who was trying to obtain a chemical abortion, ended up being reported and being arrested. when it turns out that that was something that the state legally could not do. a majority of americans believe

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 a role. just over 30 percent, say abortion should be legal in all cases. without exception. rob reynolds has been at a pro abortion rights demonstration in los angeles. california has laws that are very robust in protecting women's rights to abortion. but that didn't stop hundreds of demonstrators from gathering here in the street in front of the u. s. federal court house in downtown los angeles. they are angry, they are upset, and they are venting their fury, telling stories of having been impregnated by rape and in other terrible circumstances in this pro, but abortion rights crowd. people are saying it is not enough for california to be

a sanctuary state. when other states prohibit the procedure altogether, the governor of california gavin newsome announced that tens of millions of dollars were going to be allocated so that women in states that ban abortion can come to california to other states where abortion is legal. to receive the procedure that is likely to put a strain on the $100.00 plus women's health clinics in california. because according to researchers at the university of california, as many as $16000.00 women are expected to come to the state seeking termination of their pregnancy assigned, that the supreme court decision is sending out ripples all the way across the country. in states that want to ban abortions and it states that will not keisha rom. hinsdale is a member of the vermont senate. she joined us from shelburn from aunt keisha.

thanks so much for being with us. what's your reaction to the ruling by the supreme court and how will this really impact abortion rights in vermont? well, thanks for having me. i wish the circumstances were different, but we didn't see this coming. i given the week of a draft opinion some months ago. what we might not have been able to see coming in vermont, but we're very glad we prepared for is we have passed a constitutional amendment through the legislature that took 4 years to enshrine the right to access and abortion, and all reproductive freedoms in our constitution and it goes to the voters in november, i have very little doubt that it will be passed this november and for at least the time being our constitution will protect abortion access. here in our state cases, there was a concurring opinion released by supreme court justice clarence thomas. that suggested he and his colleagues should reconsider past supreme court rulings that

codified rights to same sex marriage and contraception access. how concerned are you that this court will attempt to overturn more legal precedents and established law and that they might roll back more rights? i think that many americans of conscience are deeply concerned, and those of us in state government are looking at ways that we can bolster any and all protections that americans have counted on for at 50 plus years, whether it's gun safety. and i, you know, miranda rights on abortion access, same sex marriage privacy in the bedroom and in medical care. i just don't think americans are ready for what this or radical republican extremist court is bringing down to bear on many of the freedoms and liberties that we have enjoyed and taken for granted. keisha, you wrote a powerful piece last year in which you describe how you had never felt more lone

in your life than when you got an abortion while in college. and how important it was that you got support from clinic workers who supported you and even getting past anti abortion protesters and into the health center. how much more difficult will this supreme court ruling make it for women who, who won't have the support of a community who won't be able to afford traveling to other states, to get an abortion? and how much more disproportionately will the ruling impact communities of color? i can, i can only imagine the difficulty that people will go through to access an abortion . we know that for many particularly low income women and women of color immigrants, you know, they already have had difficulty accessing abortion. as i stated, you know, 1st of all, i do think it's really critical that we share our stories because this is one of the hardest and most lonely decisions you can make. it's very intimate and no one takes it lightly. absolutely, no one makes this decision lightly. and you know,

if people think that someone is too immature to, to make a decision about getting an abortion well, i have news for them about the maturity level it takes to raise the child. so, so this is in many ways rolling back not only the rights of many women, particularly, but their economic well being. and when you think about unwonted children or children who can't be taken care of, that is what has created so much poverty in this country in the past that we have slowly begun to climb out of and in fact have begun to cut child poverty in half under this administration, all of these gains are lost when you take away the agency of women and particularly low income women to make the right choices about their future. keisha rom, hinsdale, a member of the vermont center. great to speak with you. thanks so much for joining us. thanks for having me. i still had on al jazeera for you in concludes
