10:04 pm
gonna get a look at the redacted version of the mar-a-lago search warrant affidavit. the judge's ruling just today the doj convinced him, showing the government has shown a convincing reason to -- have the affidavit, because, quote, this closure will reveal the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents and an charged parties, the investigations strategy, direction, scope, sources and methods and grand jury information. but let us not forget what this is all about. it is about a former president who took boxes and boxes of records to his beach resort when he left washington in disgrace. the fbi found 11 sets of classified documents in that search of mar-a-lago, even after the archives worked all through 2021 to get records back from a former president who once promised this. >> in my administration, i am going to enforce all laws
10:05 pm
concerning the protection of classified information. >> well -- we've got new cnn reporting tonight on the turnaround in trump world over all of this. a source telling cnn the former president has been asking his allies if they believe he will be indicted. and there are concerns his legal trouble now seems worse than ever before. a source also saying that he is listening to people like conservative activists who got in his ear and told him exactly what he wanted to hear. it's a mistake to let them strong-arm you into returning documents, returning records. does even the report that the archives were so desperate to get trump's so-called love letters with kim jong-un, that they tried to get his team to try to fedex them. in the face of all of this, president joe biden is turning up the heat tonight, telling people at a private fund-raiser in maryland what we are seeing now is, quote, the death knell of the extreme maga philosophy. and comparing it to what he called, semi fascism. and going on to blast the, quote, defeated former president and lay out an agenda for democrats
10:06 pm
as his first political rally ahead of the midterms. >> we will codify roe v. wade. [applause] we will ban assault weapons. we will protect social security and medicare! we will pass universal pre-k! we will restore the childcare tax credit! we will protect voting rights, we will pass election reform, and make sure no one, no one ever has the opportunity to steal an election again! >> i just -- [laughs] i was just thinking if they had to wrangle the [inaudible] for biden people. [laughs] you know who dies that. okay, well, tonight we are going to talk with white house press secretary kareen jean pierre. that's injustice second. but i want to get to cnn's legal
10:07 pm
analyst elijah honig. gentlemen, thank you and formal president of state. good evening gentlemen, thank you so much for joining. us ellia, we'll start. with you after the doj submitted their proposed reduction, the judge gave it the greenlight to be released to the public. we are going to see by noon tomorrow what happened, how much we get, if they redacted things pertaining to witnesses and the ongoing investigation or grand jury investigation. what are we going to learn, in your estimation? >> well, don, you are right to expect a lot of black redaction ink. and indeed, doj will be blacking out a lot of the most important information, the most sensitive information about witnesses, about ongoing investigation. however, he's laura coates also correct when he says, we are still going to learn quite a bit from this affidavit tomorrow. here are some things i'm looking at. first of all, i think we are going to get chapter and verse on the whole protracted negotiation between archives
10:08 pm
and doj on the one hand and the trump team on the other. we've seen some really good reporting on that. now we are going to get it rock-solid. just how long, just how many times they tried to do with a nice way before they had to go in with the search warrant. also, i am looking to see if there's any description of the documents that doj and archives got back from mar-a-lago before the search warrant. because remember, they got some documents back before they went in and did that search warrant. and finally, there could be pieces of this investigation that are no longer active that don't require confidentiality. so, we could get some sense of what the investigation is. so we will see in sometime in the next 13 hours and 53 minutes, not that anyone is counting. >> so, brandon, listen, it's interesting, because nothing that has come out has been good for team trump or trump and his legal team and his supporters. nothing has been good so far. they previously released documents reveal three federal crimes in the justice department is looking at as part of their investigation, violations of the espionage act, obstruction of justice and the
10:09 pm
criminal handling of government records. you have personally investigated dozens of cases involving the espionage act. so, what will you be looking for in this affidavit as it pertains to possible violation? >> i think there's going to be more meat on the bones that i probably would have predicted last week based in part on not just the fact that there's been a lot of reporting and disclosures and the last week. but the fact that the judge so quickly agreed to the redactions that the department of justice proposed, suggests that in fact the department was more narrowly tailored. but i think there's gonna be sub substance there. >> so tell me, i'm going to let you finish up, but why do you think there is going to be more meat on the bones? >> just to be clear, most of it will be blacked out. oh >> okay. >> but the department justice, even in their argument, considered that there are parts of this that many believe would not impact the investigation. and that was a week ago. and in the past week we have seen communications with the
10:10 pm
archives and other disclosures. we have also seen the filing from president trump and his attorneys to stop the search and impose a special master's. so, i think the reality is, it will be more substance in their than i think we would normally expect to see. >> so, i interrupted you -- did you get your point across? he said number one and -- >> so, in a search warrant, one of the first parts of it is, it talks about the laws that may have been violated. and the elements of the offense. though, some of that will simply be a recitation of the law, it will be descriptions there. and in particular, with respect to the law concerning the's handling of classified information, it's not to [inaudible] the united states code seven 93. there are parts of. it espionage -- and by espionage i mean the actual transmission or disclosure of classified information. and that's why the department has indicated is focused on retention, just the handling of it. but it's gonna be
10:11 pm
interesting to see if they describe, it how clear they are, it's just four [inaudible] and then there's one other piece. the law that i mentioned, there's this other section that's very sad ultimately prosecuted, seven 93 f. it concerns gross -- >> [inaudible] >> and it will be interesting to see if, in fact, they mention it. i don't think they will, but if they do, it would signal that this investigation is sort of broader than i would anticipate. >> let me ask you -- because you said you think most of it is going to be redacted. you think will be black. but there is going to be plenty of redactions. but the length -- well the length of the document offer any clues as to how extensive this investigation is, like if it's a long one or short one? what do you think? >> i think that's right. i think the length is another key piece here. search warrants can be anywhere from a dozen to 70 or 80 pages. and i think that,
10:12 pm
especially when we talk about the factual recitation of an investigation of the department itself has said is only in its very early stages -- if we are talking about dozens and dozens of pages of factual information, and that is in part redacted, i think it's going to confirm that there is a lot of information that we don't know. in fact, the department keeps stressing, in its arguments before this judge, there are specific investigative techniques that have been utilized that they are intending to continue to utilize in their investigation. we don't know if that is. we can speculate. but we don't know. so, i think the more pages that we see aviva redactions, of the confirmation, this is a well -- investigation. >> elie honig, what about the urgency? something clearly prompted the doj to move to the search and seizure sees stage in this investigation. will there be anything more clear about that? >> well, don, it's important to understand, legally, all the doj has to do to justify the search warrant is to say that they established -- and that a federal judge approved that. we know that that happened. but of course, there is more than the legalities involved here. there is the politics of. it one of the main complaint that donald trump has raised is, why did they just go to the sort of extreme step of the search warrant? and i think tomorrow,
10:13 pm
when we see this affidavit, i think they're going to lay out in detail the entire history of negotiations. and don, every time we see new reporting about this, we learned that the whole negotiation was longer and longer and extending farther and farther back further in time. in fact, we learned earlier today that it even started when dole trump was still in office. >> still an office -- >> right, passive polonium alleged. these documents were supposed to go over. >> is it the retention of highly classified documents, to the highest level, some of the highest levels, isn't that enough to have a search and seizure of, regardless of who it is? shouldn't that just be enough? no? >> absolutely. that's one of the three statutes that doj used. they brought to a federal judge -- >> so, what is the point of all this, then -- >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] >> first of, all you have to get the documents back, and then you have to --
10:14 pm
>> [inaudible] know, when i'm we justified the search here there's technically answer there is the technical answer and in terms of what justify the search here which, technically, is the law in terms of the espionage act -- is if the retention of classified information? so, in theory, that would be enough. that is not what happened here, which, even after the department of justice learned about classified information, they communicated with the former presidents attorneys. and they issued a subpoena. this was a cooperative engagement and i think it signals that, if that is all that happened, if the department of justice in june, when they went to mar-a-lago obtained the rest of the classified documents, i don't think we would be talking about a search warrant. i think it's possible we would be talking about criminal charges. something happened and we don't know what that is. but something happened and it seems to be related to this obstruction charge that fundamentally changed the nature of this investigation.
10:15 pm
and until we know with that is, ultimately, we don't know the strength of the case. we don't know the likelihood. but something was serious enough that it led to this unprecedented search of the former presidents residence. >> elie, you want to do the math on how long it will be before we find out? you are better. >> 13 hours 47 minutes! >> thank you guys, i really appreciate, it we learned a lot. president biden back on the campaign trail tonight blasting what he calls the defeated former president and maga republicans and calling maga republicanism semi fascism. the white house press secretary kareen jean pierre, she standby on the white house lawn right now. she's going to tell us what that means after the break. the break. ork. building an experience that lets you shop over 17,000 cars from home. creating a coast-to-coast network to deliver your car as soon as tomorrow. recruiting an army of customer advocates to make your experience incredible.

10:19 pm
we're always happy to have direct contact from directly people in the white house. president you want to hear from the press secretary, which is what you're about to hear from, so stay tuned. president biden making his first major campaign speech as the midterm elections rapidly approach, the president touting his accomplishments and blasting maga republicans but green jump here but these are important issues we're gonna talk about tonight, especially when it comes to student loans.
10:20 pm
>> yes, absolutely. >> let's start with what the president said at a fund-raiser tonight, just before his rally, the freshman like and what he would he called extreme maga philosophy to extreme fascism what exactly is semi fascism >> -- the american people have a choice in front of, them and the president laid that out very clearly, very powerfully tonight. when you look at what democrats are doing in what they are delivering, and what they have done, don, in less than two years, which is lowering cost on prescription drugs, lowering the energy costs. making sure that we have this historic legislation for to really deal with climate crisis, all of these things are important standing up for women. >> i want to get to all of those things, all due respect.
10:21 pm
we have a short time, i must get all the things, -- i'm about. >> don, i was just about to get your question. i really was. but you brought me on the show for a reason. and i have to talk about. . >> by having this back and forth where actually taking away from the time, so here we go, what we are seeing from republicans and what we have seen from republicans these past several years. is that they are attacking our democracy, they are taking away our freedom and they are trying to put on the chopping block's medicare and social security. that's what we are seeing, and it's being done, if you look at the republican party, it's being done by this element, this mega element of the republican party. and that's what we are trying to prevent. that's what you heard from the president today, that choice, what we are doing for democrats, because that's why said that to you, i started off because i
10:22 pm
wanted to show what we are doing, and what we have done. and also, make that contrast because that's what we're seeing from republicans. this maga element and we're going to continue to make that choice we're gonna continue to the american people and that's what the president did tonight in maryland and what is going to do across the country. >> thank you for answering the question let's talk about the accomplishments, though. -- at tonight's rally. the administration believes that the student loan relief plan that it will be fully paid. so, can you lay out how much of this, how is going to cost. where the money is coming from? >> so, okay, i'm happy to have that conversation, our team did crunch some numbers and i'm gonna start here, i know you want me to get to the answer. so assuming that 75% of folks who take this on on the president student loan cancellation plan, and you look at the average cash flow on
10:23 pm
that. it's going to be about 24 billion dollars per year. now, just to give you a little bit of context, that 24 billion dollars a year that is about 3% of what we spent on the military. that's just a tiny tiny fraction. and if you here with the wall street journal folks said, goldman sachs, they said this today. it will have a minor, minor effect. minor effect on this plan on what we're seeing currently with the president announced. and the thing that's important here to, the president has a little bit more of a fiscal breathing room, because of that 1.7 trillion dollar deduction that we will see at the end of this fixed fiscal year which is so important. because at the end of the day, with the president is trying to do, and wants to do just to cut through this noise, he wants to make sure that we are delivering for millions and millions of americans. this plan is going to help 98%.
10:24 pm
90% of americans that is making less than $75,000 a year. that matters. that is going to be a game-changer. a game-changer for americans who want to buy a home. americans who want potentially want to start a family. give them that breathing room that is so needed at this time. >> okay, you said you've crunch the numbers. is the white house going to release a cost estimate at some point so that the american people can see exactly what you're saying? and with a number of countries are saying? >> yeah we've talked about that. this is something that. the other piece of this too is we are going to see as i said, assuming people take us up on this student debt relief plan that the president put forth. that's why i said assuming 75%. so we are going to share with that's going to look like. we wanted to give you a little bit of what we are thinking of how this is going to move forward. and looked on, this is so important for american families. this is also as you are asking
10:25 pm
me about with the president said earlier today about what republicans are doing. if you think back in 2017 i believe we probably had this conversation on your show what republicans did in this past previous administration in 2017 that two trillion dollar tax cut that they gave to the wealthy. and it did nothing for americans that were making less than 75,000. what they did was that 85% of that helped americans make more than 75,000. this is a clear contrast in it's so different than what we're trying to do, and the president said, and this was a campaign promise that the president made, he wanted to make sure that as he's giving this 10,000 dollar student debt cancellation relief which he actually exceeded, he wanted to make sure we did this in a fiscally responsible way. in a balanced way. >> and that's where we have you here to talk about the. let's talk about other issues as well. you will talk about
10:26 pm
accomplishments and other things that are on the table here. in his speech, the first issue that the president said what was at stake in these midterm elections, and he talked about it just moments ago, and that was a woman's right to choose. >> absolutely. >> let's take a look at what happened since the supreme court overturned weighed. in red states,, after red state, there's a race to pass the most restrictive abortion limitations and not imaginable. even without exception for rape or incest. but these mega republicans won't stop there. they want to a national band, they want to pass a legislative national band in the congress. if the maga republicans win control of the congress it won't matter where you live. women won't have the right to choose anywhere. anywhere. >> kareem you saw what happened in new york last night. in the bellwether, a democrat actually won. i spoke with pat ryan who is
10:27 pm
now the congressman elect this candidate. i spoke to him last night, he's a new york democrat who won the special house election campaigning on abortion rights, should the white house take more of a lead role in the push for election -- i am sure i don't need to tell you there has been criticism that the administration hasn't done enough on this. >> i want to be careful about talking about the midterm elections or any elections in that fact in that manner. especially in this role in this administration we respect the hatch act. look, here's something that i can say that democrats have been doing, and the president talked about this when the dobbs decision came back back in june, came down in june. which is we have to do everything we can, we have to make sure our voices are being heard. because we have to fight for women's reproductive rights. we have to fight for our freedom. and what you are seeing is just that. you are seeing the majority of americans who are standing up and saying, we have to make
10:28 pm
sure that we say no to what we're seeing across the country. these national -- will republicans want to do is a national band. these are coming from republican legislators. so, we have been fighting, democrats have been fighting tooth and nail to protect women's rights. women's reproductive rights. and we are going to continue to do that. the president took bold actions on the day that decision was made. he's going to continue to speak to that, continue to make sure that what you heard tonight continue to have those conversations and talk to the majority of americans who we stands with. who democrats stand with. i'm on. >> kareem we always have the situation, you and i go way back. this is an honest relationship, so nobody read into this. okay listen, caught-ifying row, kareen, it has always fizzled out now. does the president want to see
10:29 pm
this passed before the midterms in the senate? is there gonna be any work to do? that >> look, with the president had said is in -- he will take actions that he has -- we have announced that. over the past several short months during the summer. and so he has taken leadership on it. when the president has been very clear in order to codify to make sure roe's law, is that congress has to take action. the american people have to make sure, again, that their voices are heard. that is the message that we have been very clear about. and we are going to continue to make sure that we talk to the american people on that. so we continue to galvanize folks to make sure that we protect. we've got to protect women's rights. this is an issue that is putting women's lives in danger. and we have to know what's at stake here. it's a choice. >> i've got to ask you about this, because we're sitting here waiting for this the
10:30 pm
affidavit redacted to be released. i gotta ask you about this investigation into this classified document. the former president kept that former president at mar-a-lago resort. cnn is reporting that biden's white house counsel's office, at some point, defer to the national archives for the termination of how to handle trump's protected assertions of privilege or what have you over these documents. who in the white house knew about this investigation? because the president has been adamant that he knew nothing, got no warning about it. >> so, those are two different things. so let me just say that for a second, look, when it comes to the investigation, the search that we saw recently, that you all have reported on, we have been very clear on this. the president was not briefed. no one at the white house was briefed. we are not briefed on investigations. remember, when the president has said during the campaign and what he is said as president, he wanted to make sure that we restore the
10:31 pm
independence of the department of justice. he has been clear about that. especially when it comes to investigations. we do not comment, we do not interfere, and we do not get briefed. when it comes to the investigation itself we are just not going to comment. >> are you saying that he didn't know about the actual -- that there would be a search warrant carried out? because he did have to know about the documents being there, because he had to sign off on giving the archives. >> again, two different things. no no, we did not know. again, i'm just gonna repeat myself. >> but you knew about it. you had to know that it was their, or that they were missing? because he signed off on getting the archives the authority to make a decision? >> don, i don't want to make sure we separate the two right? when it comes to the actual search, when it comes to the
10:32 pm
comments that the attorney general made recently i believe it was last week we did not know about it. we learned about that from your reporting. now the letter that something totally different. what we did was we deferred the to the department of justice. i'm gonna leave the letter to speak for itself that is the national archives they made that decision with the department of justice, again, we gave them we deferred that to the national archives. >> who is we who knew about the white house? >> i'm just telling you our white house, i don't have specific names or specific -- the white house deferred that to the national archives. it's in the letter. it's very clear in the letter. people -- it's out there people have shown the letter folks and take a look. again, when it comes to the investigation, when it comes to the investigation and the search, when it comes to the
10:33 pm
attorney general making his remarks. we do not get involved, we do not get briefed. and we did not know about that investigation. again we have said this i know there's a lot of interest in this but the president has been very clear he does not want to politicize the department of justice he wants to do this very differently. he wants to make sure that they have the independents when it comes to investigation. again we've been very very clear about that. when it comes to the letter i refer people to the letter. i refer people to the department of justice, the letter is very clear that we defer that to them. >> kareem we love having you on. we love that you're here. we go back and forth have candor and you're invited to come on as often as you'd like. we also like to have the president on it's been a long time since i've interviewed him in and spoke to him at a town hall. i know he'll be watching this interview, and so mister president if you want to come
10:34 pm
on we love to have you. and kareen williams result relay that to the president. >> i will relay that to the president don. thank you so much for having me it's always a good time. >> we appreciate you as well. president biden calling out maga republicans multiple times tonight, while keeping the heat up for the next 75 days pay up? we'll talk about. ♪ ♪ ♪

president biden hitting the campaign trail tonight, the president touting his accomplishments in office and targeting republicans for not supporting his agenda. let's bring in cnn senior political commentator david axelrod or axelrod -- and stand herndon is sitting right here. [inaudible] known him for years. good evening everyone, thanks for
10:39 pm
joining. let's see if this is a spicy as the last interview, david axelrod. the president zeroing in on maga republicans saying that they are a threat to democracy, even calling it semi-fascism. what is he doing there? >> well, look, i think this has to be a contrast. the reason that parties in power, don, generally lose seats in a midterm election is that they are treated as a referendum on the incumbent and people who have grievances tend to be more motivated. the reason that democrats are drawn closer in some of the polling recently is that this has become more of a contrast via the dobbs decision, the mass shootings, the january 6th hearings, and trump's reemergence and that nomination of all these far-right candidates have given a sense of unease to independent voters, swing voters and the contrast between the democratic party and the accomplishments, particularly lately, the legislative accomplishments and
10:40 pm
that image of the republican party is the key for democrats to win in this election. and it is smart to drive that. i have some quarrels with -- or reservations about some of the ways in which he went at it in this particular speech. but the fact that he is drawing a contrast, i think, is very important. >> as i said, he seems to be sort of ratcheting up the energy and the language moving closer to the midterms. obviously, strategic. do you disagree with that? >> i do think it's strategic. and i do think this is going to be an escalation from the white house. you have seen the white house really go from calling it extreme megaton out this kind of semi fascist language. this is escalating, clearly, from president biden. but i do think it's about contrasts, as david said. the problem for democrats here is, even with his improved political landscape and even the energy that they have after the dobbs decision, they still have an uphill structural
10:41 pm
challenge in the house of representatives, just because of the way those maps are drawn. this environment has looked much better for them on fundraising, on the type of issues that voters are talking about in terms of being people motivated against those senate candidates that trump has put forward. that has improved our chances in the senate. but when we talk about the house, when we talk about those state legislatures, democrats are going to need that sort of a typical midterms here to really be able to overcome the structural disadvantages on that front. >> it's interesting, though, because -- i mean, the former president isn't on the ballot but kind of, you know what i'm talking about. this president has been calling out the trump lies, the election denial, the anti of democratic shift in the gop for a while. is this a shift in strategy or just the use of a different term? >> it is clearly a shift in strategy. and i have concerns about it and i wish karine jean-pierre would have answered
10:42 pm
your question as to what president biden meant when he called republicans fascist. clearly, the new strategy is to call red blooded conservatives extreme maga republicans or semi fascist. look, if that is his strategy -- >> semi fascism, just to be clear. >> the fact is, if that's his strategy, to use those terms as they are calling us, the new deplorables, that is going to do nothing more than -- it's going to embolden republicans, it's going to turn off independents. and it's not going to do anything to really drive home his message that, he says, our accomplishments. look, when he insults republicans in that fashion, calling us, again, semi fascists is what he is calling us. we are conservatives, we want-limited government and we want to rein in spending, not expand spending. we want to support free markets, we want national security, and we want to work on immigration and crime. for him to use terms like that, to
10:43 pm
really kick off the campaign, that just goes to show we are headed down a really dark and, i see, concerning campaign. >> alice, do you see a distinction between maga republicans and normal conservatives? because that is the distinction that the president is making. i don't see him calling all republicans talk about the maga republicans -- >> every time he referenced them, he said maga republicans are extreme maga republicans. again, this type of name-calling is clearly going to be the strategy. i don't see it as a winning formula, because at the end of the day, when americans are looking at, they are looking at historic inflation. they are looking at the fact that we are entering the recession. they are looking at high home prices, grocery prices, increasing crime and the economic issues that are going to drive the day. and if he wants to sit there and resort to name-calling, that's
10:44 pm
not going to move the needle at all. >> david, i will let you in. >> look, i want to partially agree with alice stewart, i don't think he has to use terms like fascist or a neo-fascist or whatever -- >> semi-fascist -- >> i think the extremism of the republican party has manifested itself around this dobbs decision. and the fact that so many republicans around the country seem willing to impose the most draconian restrictions, even in the most dire of circumstances, that is extreme. election denial is extreme. so, those things speak for themselves. i think the president missed an opportunity to better separate the republicans -- the minority of republicans in the congress,
10:45 pm
who laudably worked with him on bills like infrastructure and guns and the chips act. i think he should try and drive a wedge between those republicans and the majority of the party that is now in the thrall of donald trump. so, he should be careful about painting with a broad brush. because i think there's an opportunity to get some -- to certainly get independent voters who, six months ago, they were worried about biden being too far to the left. they are now worried about the republican party being tugged too far to the right. you want to take advantage of that. but you don't do that by being too hyperbolic. the other thing i would say is -- go ahead, don. it's your show. >> no, i was just trying to get it [inaudible] in -- i was trying to get across to karine and he. but i did want to get astead in -- but he did talk about her, republicans, if they are or not maga -- and i
10:46 pm
>> and i think that's gonna be part of the democratic message as well. biden wants to be someone who reaches across the aisle. i will point to that infrastructure bill, pointed that gun's legislation, to say that he returned some washington civility. i think this is also a biden and a white house that understood coming out of the summer without did particularly help his approval ratings, in particular of the democratic party that those things were tough -- they had to go let some things alone. i think that's what we have seen over the last couple of weeks. they have changed their midterms prospects. >> thanks everyone, every shade it! abortion, trigger laws, and three states going into effect today, we should be health care for millions and, in one state, doctors could face up to life in prison for providing an in prison for providing an abortion. that is next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

abortion laws as republican state abortions -- since the overturning of roe v. wade. it is putting access to abortions further out of reach for millions of women and punishing medical providers. here's cnn's tom foreman. >> texas has a tough new code of the west abortions are now outlawed from the moment of conception with no exception for pregnancies that come from rape or incest. a doctor can provide an abortion but only if it appears a mother will die or be seriously impaired without one. in some cases providing an illegal abortion could be a first degree felony. and in the lone star state, the penalty for that can be life in prison. 50 years ago, in 1972, abortion was just as illegal in texas as it is now today. >> tennessee has gone a similar direction -- >> we expect the law to be followed. >> we've legal protection for fetuses starting at fertilization, no exceptions for rape or incest, and for doctors, the same tough rule. an abortion is legal only to save mothers life or prevent
10:52 pm
serious medical issues. a standard some critics find hopelessly vague. >> the law will make doctors second their medical training and expertise when choosing a treatment plan or risk a felony at criminal conviction. >> and then there is idaho. wait for insist can legally justify an abortion under the new law there, if it is reported to the police. but for doctors, the only legal excuse for abortion is to save the mother's life. any abortion done to prevent injury or illness to the pregnant patient could wind up in charges against the doctor. that distinction moved a federal judge to put that part of idaho's law on hold, since federal law says emergency room care must also consider protecting the patients health, even if she is not in mortal danger. it's a real evidence of the rapid pace at which many red states are seeking to implement new laws against
