the court right now. >> reporter: maine's susan collins said reversing roe would be completely inconsistent with what justices neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh told her before their confirmation. the president said lawmakers supporting abortion rights should write them into law. >> i think the codification of roe makes a lot of sense. >> reporter: collins and murkowski is sponsoring a bill that would narrowly protect abortion rights but oppose a democratic bill that broadly limits state government from limbing abortion. the bill is stalled in the senate but majority leader chuck schumer says he'll force a boat so republicans have to oppose it on record. >> this is as urgent and real as it gets. >> reporter: as for this year's midtermigll a big ct >> the contours of this election this year changed. >> reporter: the bombshell leak was on the mind of several voters casting ballots in ohio's primary today. >> i felt particularly emboldened to come out today and, i don't know, a sense of

responsibility, especially with a lot of the reproductive rights discussions coming out of the supreme court. >> i'm going to trust and hope that the supreme court does their job and does it impartially. and that this little stunt doesn't affect their rulings. >> reporter: well, justice samuel alito writes in the draft the decision could only concern the right to abortion, the president said today it could ultimately affect other rights like the right to same-sex marriage, birth control and privacy. norah? >> ed o'keefe, thank you. and jan crawford is still with us. so if the court strikes down p planned parenthood as well as casey, what would that mean for gay rights? >> you heard people saying it would affect a lot of other right, including gay rights. and of course some of the language in that later 1992 abortion rights decision casey is cited in some of the gay

rights decisions, the liberty interests there. but there are other decisions that would provide a foundation for these other rights like gay rights. and as ed said, justice alito said this was focused on abortion because abortion is different. it involves potential for human life. but again, this is a draft ruling. we'll see what the final ruling says. >> so good to have you here, jan. thank you so much. and to underscore why this leaked draft decision matters, just today oklahoma's governor signed into law a bill that bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. more than half of all u.s. states are already moving to restrict abortions at 15 weeks or less. that's a time period when 93% of women get the procedure. that's according to the cdc. and that would disproportionately impact low income women and women of color. in some parts of the country, women would need to drive hundreds of miles to a clinic. we get more now from cbs' janet shamlian. >> hell, no, we don't need roe! >> reporter: tonight reaction to

the draft opinion could be heard from coast-to-coast. >> what do we want? >> reporter: some described hearing the news that millions could lose access to an abortion as feeling like a gut punch. >> i'm just shocked and appalled. i just wonder at what point our country became a country where people's voices weren't heard anymore. the majority of americans are for pro-choice. >> reporter: while others cheered the draft supreme court opinion that would overturn roe v. wade. >> abortion is murder, and i feel that way, period. >> reporter: 26 states are poised to outlaw abortion or weaken access if roe v. wade is overturned. these 13 states of so-called trigger laws, abortion bans that take effect immediately if the court strikes down roe. 16 states are going in the other direction, with laws designed to protect abortion rights. among them, illinois. >> as long as i'm governor of illinois, and as long as we have a pro-choice legislature, abortion will be legal in this state.

and as with everything, the burden will fall disproportionately on the most marginalized women. >> reporter: but virginia's governor glenn youngkin says he welcomes the decision. >> i do support the fact that this should be a state decision. that state decision is one that we're going have to work with our legislature on what we do. >> we'll never change the need for abortion. >> reporter: providers like houston's dr. bhavik kumar says there is already dwindling access that could quickly disappear. >> i've seen several people each week tell me i can't travel out of state. that's not an option for me. whether it's because they're undocumented, whether they can't afford to travel, going to another state hundreds if not ts sy to, manyple . rniaabtilikelyn place remain protected. but there is growing concern. >> it was really scary to me to know that something that i thought, i hoped would be protected for my entire lifetime is no longer protected on national level. >> and janet shamlian joins us now from houston. you've been in a state that limited abortion rights since last september. what has that been like?

>> well, it's meant that most women who want abortions after about six weeks have had to pack their bags and travel. places like louisiana, even colorado. and even that may not be possible if the draft opinion becomes law. tonight there are demonstrations planned for all over the country, including one right here at city hall in houston. norah? >> yeah, lots of protests behind me too. janet shamlian, thank you. there is a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news." charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness, it's hard for your family to remember that they can use less. sweet pillows of softness! this is soft! holy charmin! oh! excuse me! roll it back, everybody!!

roberts calling the release of this secret document an egregious breach of trust. it is unprecedented in our nation's history. reaction to the news is intense. you're looking at live pictures of the protests behind me. and what this means depends on where you live. take a look at this map. 13 states have what's called a trigger law. that would ban nearly all abortions if roe is overturned. 13 more states are poised to outlaw or restrict the procedure. we have team coverage tonight, starting off with cbs' jan crawford here with me at the supreme court.n. >> good evening, norah. this is really a shocking breach of privacy, something that didn't even happen when the presidency was on the line in bush versus gore. it raises questions about how this court will ever recover, and what that final decision will be. the unprecedented leak sent shockwaves through washington as protesters clashed outside the supreme court. >> i think women should maintain

the right to choose and have autonomy over their own body. >> i was the product of an unwanted pregnancy, and i certainly believe that i deserved life. >> reporter: amid increased security at the court, chief justice john roberts released a statement, calling the leak a betrayal intended to undermine the integrity of our operations and ordering an investigation into the source. confirming its authenticity, the court says the opinion does not represent the final position of any member. leaked to politico, the 9-page opinion to overturn roe is a first draft dated february 10th in a case challenging mississippi's 15-week ban on abortion. written by justice samuel alito, it says roe was egregiously wrong from the start. it's time to heed the constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives who can decide whether or not to restrict it. four other conservative justices, clarence thomas, neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett reportedly voted in the majority. it is not clear whether roberts

would have allowed the mississippi law to stand without overturning roe, or whether he joined the three liberals. if the draft holds, it would represent a triumph for the anti-abortion movement which has marched for life every year since the court's landmark 1973 decision that abortion was a constitutional right that states could not ban. the court in 1992 was one vote away from overturning roe. over the next 30 years, that goal was a republican campaign promise. with just clarence thomas on record opposing roe, president george w. bush nominated alito. a decade later, after the death of justice antonin scalia, then majority leader mitch mcconnell blocked president obama from filling the seat, giving former president trump the opportunity to nominate gorsuch, and later kavanaugh and barrett. like with every supreme court confirmation hearing since roe, all were pressed for their views. >> roe v. wade is an important

precedent in the supreme court. >> it has been reaffirmed many times. >> so if i express a view on a precedent one way or another, whether i say i love it or i hate it, it signals to litigants that i might tilt one way or another in a pending case. >> reporter: those are boilerplate answers for appellate judges obliged to follow supreme court rulings. as justices, they can rethink them. in arguments in the mississippi case last december, it seemed they were ready to rethink roe. and jan, this leak is unprecedented. what do we know about the investigation? >> people leak to the media for a lot reasons. they're outraged by somethng, they're disgruntled, or perhaps in this case they're looking to influence a justice, hoping to change his or her vote. there are not a lot of people who would have had access to the draft ruling. the chief justice has asked the marshal of the court to head up the investigation. >> it comes at such a momentous time. this decision could affect millions of women.

what about the integrity of the court? >> this decision would have been a blockbuster no matter what, but it's a body blow to the supreme court because it is used to a long tradition, this has never happened, complete confidentiality when the justices are discussing these opinions so they can freely work through their decisions. it will take time for this court to recover. the chief justice in a statement today said the leaker will not succeed in undermining court operations. that remains to be seen. a decision is expected some time this month or next month. >> you can hear the roar of the protests and the crowd behind us. jan crawford, thank you. now to tonight's other big story, the war in ukraine. president biden called for more money as he toured a factory that's producing javelin anti-tank missiles. those weapons have proved critical in ukraine's battle on the front lines. on the ground in ukraine, russian forces launched a full-scale attack on a steel plant in the city of mariupol. some civilians have evacuated in recent days, but hundreds remain trapped inside.

individual states to make their own laws regarding reproductive rights. south dakota, for instance, is among the states where abortion services would immediately become illegal if roe is overturned. janet shamlian visited a clinic in sioux falls where one provider is taking extraordinary measures to insure that women do have access, at least for now. >> reporter: dr. sarah traxler has full days at the planned parenthood clinic in sioux falls. but her day started hours before she even walked in the door. what's your round trip commute in miles? >> ooh, oh, i don't know. >> reporter: hundreds? >> yes. >> reporter: even though traxler is the chief medical officer of the clinic, the only abortion provider in south dakota, she lives in minnesota. her trip to work involves going to the minneapolis airport, taking the flight, being met by a security officer in sioux

falls for her safety, then a drive to the clinic. >> i was afraid i wasn't actually going to be able to make it. >> reporter: a commute the mom of two has taken monthly for the last seven years. . >> i sort of feel at some level if i don't do it and the other three physicians who do it with me, who else is going to do it? there wouldn't be anything for these patients. >> reporter: the clinic says it hasn't been able to get in-state doctors who fear harassment. this nurse is the health clinic manager. why aren't there more clinics in this state? >> it's because of the atmosphere in this state and how unfriendly it is and how unsafe it makes people feel to work here, also to seek the care that they are allowed to seek. >> reporter: south dakota is one of six states with just one abortion provider, and it has some of the nation's strictest abortion laws, including a 72-hour waiting period between consultation and procedure, regardless whether it's a surgical or medication abortion. >> i've noticed on their charts -- >> reporter: dr. traxler has to

make two trips a week because the same doctor is required for both appointments. you're making a big sacrifice. but what are the patients telling you about their journeys? >> i think their sacrifice is more than mine. they are leaving their children. they are leaving their jobs, they are losing wages, they are having to find travel money. >> reporter: republican governor kristi noem is pushing legislation that would require three trips for a medication abortion, the consultation and one for each dose of the abortion pill. she argues it's out of concern for women's safety. if it passes, the clinic says logistics would make it almost impossible to continue offering medication abortions. >> these restrictions are going to disproportionately impact already marginalized communities that already have a difficult time accessing health care in general, but abortion care specifically. >> reporter: on this day, dr. traxler saw ten patients. everything went to plan until her return flight. the only flight home canceled

large and small. >> this is our switchblade 300. >> reporter: are being sent to ukraine. >> we understand what the people in ukraine are doing. this is our part to help. these weapons, they are weapons, but what they're designed to do is stop tanks, stop artillery nests, stop what's going on over there. >> reporter: why is it called a switchblade? >> imagine all the swings are folded, and it fits inside of this tube. so at the bottom we have what's known as a gas generator. it pushes the switchblade out. once it comes and it's clear to have had tube, the wings automatically flip out. it happens very quickly. it's like a switchblade. >> reporter: in the nose, cameras scan the battlefield, sending video back to an operator controlling the switchblade. >> once it finds the target, the operator has the ability to essentially dye bomb into the target and take out the target. >> reporter: it's a one-way mission? >> it's a one-way mission. >> reporter: kamikaze?

>> exactly. >> reporter: armed weapons usually carry weapons under the wings, launch them and return to base. but the switchblade carries its own warhead and blows itself up. >> it is one and done. >> reporter: he controls the environment that makes the switchblade at a secure location he asks us not to reveal. these crates are loaded with switchblades for ukraine. >> we've been in touch with the ukrainian military and they could use, thousands of them. the type of conflict is almost idea for the switchblade. >> reporter: he is talking specifically about the long russian convoys sweeping towards the front lines. >> switchblade can take them out like popcorn, literally. >> reporter: is the enemy going to hear it? >> no. it's very, very silent. it's very, very quiet. >> reporter: but if you look up, you can see it? >> well, it's not easy, right? it looks big on a table with a black background, but when it's in the sky, it's very hard to see. >> reporter: but you can shoot

it down? >> as far as i know it's never happened. >> reporter: the signals which control the switchblade can be jammed, and so far only 100 have reached the battlefield. still, the weapon has earned wahed wahhabi a place on the list of americans russians have sanctioned. it's not his first encounter with the russians. >> was born and raised in afghanistan, and i left afghanistan right at the beginning of the occupation of the soviet union in afghanistan back in the early 1980s. so in some respects this is very emotional and personal for me as well. >> reporter: at the age of 18, the oldest of four children, he learned what happens when the russian army invades your country. >> i've been there. i know exactly what it's like. life changes in a matter of seconds. completely changes upside down. >> reporter: and he remembers how one weapon, the american-made stinger missile helped chase the russians out of

afghanistan. >> i vividly remember the stinger missile. >> reporter: how so? >> i saw what it did to the russian helicopters. probably had seen a half a dozen of them with my own naked eyes get shot from the sky while watching from the ground. >> reporter: now he wants to see russian tanks destroyed by his switchblade drones. >> a capability that you cannot hear, you cannot see, you cannot tell where it came from, and boom, all of the sudden hits you, it just creates havoc in your mind. oh my god, what is this? what's happening to us? >> that was david martin

family members outside of u.s. >> reporter: but today that video meant for relatives has over 52 million views. did you have any theories as to why it was that these videos that you were making were so popular? >> i think the authenticity is definitely the number one factor. probably mostly because we film our home, and we don't have script line by line. >> reporter: before long, luanne and her husband shawn had quit their day jobs to start a family youtube business. which eventually led them to carrie tucker. >> we take the world's biggest youtube kid stars and turn them into global franchises. >> reporter: tucker is the chief marketing officer at pocket watch, a sort of old school hollywood studio system for a very new school kind of content. thinking generation, this generation alpha only knows a world with youtube and mobile devices. the way we think about it is pocketwatch wants to be
