[ crowd chanting ] >> chants echoed through the streets of san francisco. >> look around. there aren't words. just rage. >> a group of marchers from the

federal building ended up at city hall to lift up each other's voices. >> all of the women around me today, just coming together, and i feel the energy and i'm [ bleep ]. >> you could have your own beliefs about what is moral and rational, but you can't impose those on other people. >> as california has vowed to stay a reproductive rights state. those here sayi this is for the millions of women across country that no longer have a choice. the planned parenthood of northern california was one of the organizers of the event. >> pick the day to have emotions but tomorrow let's get back to work. >> as the work begins, the planned parenthood ceo hopes it drives voters to the polls in every upcoming election. protesters say they're encouraged by the turnout that change will come once again.

>> did gives me hope how many people have showed up no matter the age, gender, religion. >> we still have a lot more work to do but it gives me hope that we're moving in the right direction. >> in san francisco, andrea nakano, kpix 5. opponents are cheering the decision. julia goodrich spoke to the leaders of a group that have worked and waited for this moment for years. >> did you ever think you would see this decision? >> i does. >> mary rose short is director of outreach with california right to life. >> are you calling today a victory, a step forward, your work has just begun? where does is it stand for us. >> i think it is a step forward. even just the fact that it removes a barrier, it removed what seemed to be an insurmountable barrier to get getting equal protection for all

human beings. i'm excited the supreme court has corrected its error that m -- that it made almost 50 years ago. >> is there a concern women might go across state lines or seeking abortions in illegal means or against health care code. >> obviously we don't want any women, we don't want them to have abortions. abortion illegal or legal will hurt them and in california that is where woman are coming to in this scenario because of the protections for abortion. we're lowering our abortion safety standards. and making all abortions unsafe. >> do you see this taking on a bigger picture, possibly going into the lgbtq community and laws changing there. i doknow you can't address ever single law but what does it mean for the bigger picture. >> it does not effect other prior right to privacy decisions so i don't know whether they will later come to reconsider

those but at this time this decision itself does not effect those. >> she said in states like california the fight for equal protection for unborn children will continue through education to change minds and save lives. >> it is actually great, but everybody is talking about abortion.be to get people to pay attention for years and years. >> julia goodrich, kpix 5. >> the decision is expected to set off a cascade of anti-abortion laws in half of the country. that includes 13 states with so-called trigger law. [ crowd chanting ] the ruling puts the court at odds with the majority of americans, a cbs news poll found that two-thirds wanted roe v. wade left in place. california's one of several abortion sanctuary states and governor newsom has made it clear, if you live in a state where it is difficult to get an abortion, go west. in the next half hour we'll speak to a legal analyst on how

brightened now. >> they point out the group of right wing extremists arrested recently in idaho trying to disrupt a pride event. on the same day a handful of people tried to stop a drag queen book reading event in the east bay. and bomb threats were recently made against gay state senator scott wiener and the san francisco organization larric, which serves lgbtq youth. >> just anger. >> that is why san francisco police are teaming up with ls thede e tchinge're m things surroundings. but we feel secure. >> aside from the tens thousands of people coming to celebrate pride, the police department expects protests related to the spe supreme court ruling on abortion rights. >> we canceled days off on this weekend so we'll be heavily

deployed and we make adjustments as we need to. >> jim and terry will remain vigilant but their optimistic it is a safe pride weekend. >> it is always that risk. any time you go out in public, this is a risk of something bad happening. >> authorities say the message is don't be fearful, have fun but do stay alert. and if you see something, say something. in san francisco, i'm da lin, kpix 5. all month long we have been bringing stories that capture the spirit of pride. now this morning our justin and rupes introduced us to a illustration of hope no matter how you identify. >> i could select the hands and move them. >> you could just call this her creation corner. each click controls and captured

character. >> you're literally -- >> building their personality almost, their character. >> completely. >> an an imator at pixor knows the film industry. >> i stumbled into it. my background is dance and performance. >> it really wasn't a stumble if you ask me. it was a start. >> as queer directors, we want to continue telling queer stories that really could help kind of bridge the gap between the lgbtq plus community and the community at large. >> pete, that is her wife's name. it is also the name of their short film about gender identity. a true story. >> it was summertime, in 1975. winter park, florida. >> her wife was an 8-year-old kid who identified as a boy and named herself pete. >> she was able by being herself to change a little part of the community in winter park, florida. and so that we hope that we could offer that today and

continue to change the world in a one small way. >> the story started in pete's cul-de-sac where friends knew she was a girl and didn't care. but outside of the cul-de-sac, life was tough for pete. brett said gay history is primarily oral history and not taught in schools. >> so if we don't tell these stories, they're lost. >> brett directed and animated this film as cofunder of art farm productions along with a team of about 60 people through the pixar cooperative. >> pixar has not told many lgbtq plus stories. and so it is unique. >> unique. just like the character pete. >> i'm moving each one of these controls across time. >> hoping for time for little boys and girls aren't lost in their identity. >> it gives hope at the end of the day. that it's possible to be who you want to be no matter how you

identify. >> knowing character can't always be created. i'm justin andrews, kpix 5. join us for a live pride special that starts sunday morning at 10:00 right here on kpix 5 and streaming on cbs news bay area. we're going to take a view of this saturday morning from a couple of high advantage points to show you for the majority, sunny skies today. if you're near the water, you'll see a few low clouds like that view from the top of mt. de low over contra costa county and that stream of low clouds in through the delta. we'll see that play out from the top of sutro tower over the city. a few cloud here that are kind of creeping in over the west side of the city and certainly through the golden gate and you'll see them along the east bay shoreline. but everybody else, waking up to blue sky and another way to watch that is you could see where the clouds are. if we use the high resolution forecast, see how they fill in

the immediate bay. watch what happens today. they all burn back to just along the coast or right through the golden gate and then that is it. it will probably hang out there too much like yesterday. so you'll have the low gray blanket just hanging out over alcatraz today and everybody else has sunshine. so with that in mind, low to mid-90s in the south bay. topping out at 93 in campbell. milpitas 86. hayward will go to 80 but it is warm for the inland valleys of contra costa and alameda county. low to mid-90s, livermore 96. walnut creek goes to 91. we'll see the numbers along the bay shoreline stay in the 60s, sausalito will hit 65 but as we go north, san rafael, novato, low to mid-80s and further up 101 it is upper 80s for santa rosa and then low hundreds by the time we get up into mendocino and lake county.

interesting way it takes play today. until 2:00. that is what happened up there. it is nice to see it. and you could see the marine layer hugging coast here. so two classic views of summer across northern california in that regard today. there is a lost cool air out in the pacific that would love to get here. and while that system is spinning the wheels, it does look impressive. it is not able to come on shore. so we don't get any rain out of that but what we do experience is the influence that has on keeping the temperatures below average. you'll see that in the seven-day forecast that temperatures will go into a cooling trend for much of next week. after this week in the low to mid-90s, you'll be back down into the 80s for much of the week. but beyond the seven-day forecast, the probability map, temperatures above or below average, the deeper you get into the shades of blue, the higher degree of confidence. temperatures will be below average and that is a good

looking sipe. there is a high degree of confident in keeping the trend. but this weekend, we're still at average or a degree or two above it. so if we're making our outdoor plans, no difference from one day to the other. saturday and sunday will be identical. mid-90s out there for both days. but you do see a cooling trend that shows up in the seven-day forecast. san francisco and oakland and san jose at first. we'll be back down into the lee 80s for santa clara valley and so san jose and the microclimates show us we go from mid-90s to the low to mid-80s for the second half of the week, even an upper 70 by friday of next week. devin for some of the warmer inland spots. >> know that you don't control the weather but i want to thank you for the cooldown. >> it is fun to be able to deliver news like that this time of the year considering what we know is still to come for the rest of the summer. so we have a great week and a half here of temperatures to enjoy. >> thank you. >> see you. sports is coming up.

i-t went in and i saw somebody on the bench and had to turn around and let them know. but that is not me. that is my first tech ever in my life. well deserved and it was a good tech, so. >> that is your sports this morning. i'm charlie waltires saying have yourself a great day. still to come this morning, an update on the police shooting in san jose that killed a murder suspect. more bay area reaction to the supreme court ruling over turning roe v. wade. many saying it feels like a step backwards. here is a live look outside in san jose. we'll be back in a moment.

live, from the cbs bay area studios, this is kpix 5 news. welcome back. the time now is 7:29. thank you for join us. i'm dech feely. let start with a check of our weather with darren peck. >> this is just a classic summer day. bay area wide. low 90s inland, some upper 60s right near the water like in the city. a little bit of marine layer hanging out for the golden gate with low clouds and fog over the golden gate bridge and alcatraz and everybody else is look at sunshine. that is the view from the top of the salesforce tower.

we're starting out in the low to mid-50s. it is 61 in san jose. 57 in oakland. and yes interestingly, we are reporting a little bit of patchy fog at airport in santa rosa. just enough low clouds and fogs up through sonoma county that we have some low clouds in the valley up there. some of it is fog but it will burn off by late morning. everybody inland will have sunshine. and low 90s. sunny and warm. it will feel left yesterday. upper 70s for the bay and a few clouds near the water and a few for spots, redwood city going to 87. across the bay, fremont going to 84. we'll top owl at 95 in pleasanton and san rafael go to 82 today. tomorrow is just like this. next week we start a cooldown. and there is reason to be hopeful, it will be a prolonged cooldown. i have some good news if you want temperatures below average for this time of the year for maybe a little while. more on that in a bit. for now, back over to you.

we have new information this morning on the standoff at that led to the deadly shooting of a double murder sift in san jose. on tuesday police found a man shot on mt. shasta drive. woe later die. investigators say the suspect raymond calderon drove to modesto and killed a second person. a 29-year-old woman. they found him hiding in a shed behind a home behind eatonville elementary school. after a seven hour standoff, calderon armed with a gun ran out of the shed towards two officers who opened fire, killing him. >> the suspect was observed with a gun if-n his right hand and was given several commands to drop the gun. calder ron ran towards officers surrounding the house and raised and pointed the gun at special operations officers. two officers fired their weapons at the suspect striking him twice. >> chief motta said it is not clear exactly what the motives were but did say it involved a

domestic violence issue. san francisco police arrested a man suspected of killing one person on muni this week. the 26-year-old male suspect has been charged with murder possessing a concealed firearm and using a firearm. the shooting left a 27-year-old dead and a 70-year-old man wounded. bay area firefighters are battling wildfires on friday. in concord a vegetation fire boke out in kirker pass road. investigators believe a car malfunction sparked that fire. and it was a similar scene in the south bay. another vegetation fire started nearhw 37 off kirkner avenue. didn't last long. crews controlled the flames before any people or structures were harmed. a live look now at the white house. president biden has just signed gun control legislation. the first of its kind in nearly

30 years. a short time ago. the president said that he heard the pleas of victims' families and many other americans. >> their message to us was do something. how many times have you heard that. just do something. for god's sake, just do something. well today we did. while this bill doesn't do everything i want. it does include actions i've long called for that are going to save lives. >> the measure expands background checks for people under 21 trying to buy a gun and allocated $750 million to help states implement red flag laws. those laws are described to take guns away from people deemed to be dangerous to themselves and others. >> thaur coming after law-abiding american citizens immunities. >> they say it tramples on people's constitutional rights. in the senate 15 republicans joined democrats in favor of

that legislation. the supreme court decision over turning roe v. wade is being called a major legal setback that is protected women's reproductive rights for 50 years. kpix 5's andria borba spoke to other women. >> it is as if america has rolled back the clock. this morning to an unsafe terrifying age. and this cannot stand. >> mel jordan is a registered nurse and a professor. she had a legal abortion post roe when she was 26 years old and seep the battle days of back alley abortions under the veil of secrecy. >> i can't imagine the terror that other women have gone through. except i can imagine it. i did accompany a friend to an illegal abortion and i had to hide in the closet behind a

levered door because the abortionist insisted she be alone and the abortionist came in and put this plastic cover on the bed and blindfolded her, and left her bleeding and we had to take her to an emergency room. >> she was just 11 years old living on cape cod and her family took in a cousin from nebraska who had to get an abortion in canada before roe. >> she made it very, very clear that she had to have the abortion. and that the only way for her to have the abortion was to leave the country. >> i will never forget it. i will never ever forget it. going in and checking in on her and she was lying in the bed and just holding her hand. letting her cry. buffy wick said she could directly trace her path to her legal decision to terminate a pregnancy. >> and i wasn't ready to be a mom then. and i was not in a good circumstance. and so i made that decision.

and then i was able to go on and write my own ticket in terms of my life. >> assembly member wick cried this morning when the opinion dropped. >> it is a sad day when my daughters have less rights than me. as they grow up. and it is incredibly scary and i think it makes the work that we're doing here in california all the more important. >> all three women say despite today's decision they will continue to fight for a woman's right to choose. in san francisco, andrea bosha, kpix 5. >> some legal experts say the court's ruling could impact on other precedents like same-sex marriage and other rights. we spoke with a political science professor about the implications of the decision. >> donna, thank you so much for join us. so i want to ask you about justice clarence thomas and what he said in his opinion which is certainly making headlines and raising some eyebrows and that had to do with his argument for

why he feels that abortion is not a constitutional right. what argument is he making here and why could that spill over into other issues? >> justice thomas is making the argument that because the word doesn't appear in the document, that women don't actually have a constitutional right to abortion. and that is interesting in and of itself and we're certainly seeing the huge earthquake that comes from today's decision. but if you accept that premise, that means that other rights that also rest within the principle of privacy our right to contraception and marriage equality and to be with the person we love, those are also rooted in this idea of privacy and if he's saying the word doesn't appear, well then that means that we don't have those other rights either. so those are potentially just as much as risk. >> i want to ask you about some of the issues specifically. because justice thomas mentioned calling on the court to revisit the issue of contraception and

same-sex marriage. those are rights that we enjoy knew now. so what would happen to have those taken away. >> there is some kind of legal challenge that involves one of those rights and that legal challenge works up through the federal court and then the supreme court decides whether it wants to take it up. that is for example how we got to today's decision on abortion. so there could be some kind of a challenge around the issue of same-sex marriagear contraception and the court, if it's interested in making a change here, could use that as an opportunity to reverse previous precedent and that is how those rights could be abridged or taken away. >> so we've seen a lot of people express anxiety about those issues, same-sex marriage and contraception and the difficult question is how likely or unlikely is it in your mind that these things could actually happen? >> i consider it very realistic.

i don't know what percentage i would put on it. but the reason i consider it realistic is because the court actually has a 6-3 conservative, like very conservative majority now. and also we're seeing elected officials openly call for issues to be revisited. so i think it is no longer considered a fringe position the way it might have been one to five years ago. >> on this deeply divisive issue, there is anger and outrage on one side andelation on the other side. and unsurprisingly top democrats and republicans in congress had opposite reactions to the high court decision. >> the right to life has been vindicated. the voiceless will finally have a voice. this great nation can now live up to its core principle, that all are created equal, not born equal. created equal. >> today the republican controlled supreme court has

achieved their dark extreme goal of rip ago way a woman's right to make her own reproductive health decisions. because of donald trump, mitch mcconnell, and the republican party, they're supermajority in the supreme court, american women today have less freedom than their mothers. >> the supreme court's reversal could reshape the midterm elections. abortion could become a key point of races across the country and could be a factor in which party controls congress. latest on the roe v. wade decision and what comes next on our website at kpix.com and streaming on cbs news bay area. coming up, cancer is one of the toughest words any patient could hear from a doctor. this week's jefferson award winner is making sure those who are starting that battle are not figh fighting alone. and you could watch our stream wherever and whenever, find us

with extra $350 for people who claim dependents. that would comeoit of the state's $97 billion budget surplus. chevron is planning to sell the san ram on headquarters. the company will remain based in the bay area but in a smaller space. it is expected to make that move sometime next year. any so far there is no word on how the planned downsizing will effect the company's overall staffing. the city of oakland will californi housi secrysaidunds $17 million grant program. the money is awards to cities and counties supporting the need of homeless families. and google and habitat for humanity will provide more affordable housing in the bay area. the money will go towards renovating four housing developments. one is near downtown san jose where google employees kicked offer an event to encourage

people to volunteer. all right. this weekend, you've got a beautifully warm set up. plenty of sunshine. kind of hot if you're inland. not that far amove average though. we'll be in low 90s for a lot of inland locations. san jose starting the day out with plenty of sunshine. but the temperatures will be exactly where you remember them yesterday which means we're looking at temperatures in the upper 80s and certainly low 90s if you're in the inland valleys. from the top of the sutro tower over the city. a l a l a little bit of haze. but that does turn to clouds, closer to the golden gate and certainly over into some of the immediate east bay shoreline and then through the della. we're waking up to some clouds. a little bit of fog in santa rosa. but it is fairly limited to those locations. everybody else has sunshine. and numbers in the upper 50s to low 60s now. but daytime highs that will climb into the low 90s. if you want to see where the clouds are. we'll use the high resolution

depiction of that. certainly out along the coast. watch what happens in the afternoon. everything melts back. there is just a little extremer coming in through the golden gate hanging out over alcatraz and the east bay and that is it. so with that in mind. low 90s south bay. 92 santa clara. mountain view 84 and up on peninsula more 80s. so san mateo is 84 and hayward will go to 80. numbers for inland contra costa and alameda county are approaching mid-90s. livermore goes to 96. but up and down 680, it is more low 90s. danville, walnut creek, san ramon, pleasant hill in 92. it is mid-70s as you get into the valleys through marin. and the low 100s more mendocino.

we know our marine layer hangs out along the coast so that is classic summer. but watch the sierra today. isolated pop-up thunderstorms along the crest of the sierra and it is nice to see that. we don't want any more lightning than we need in the state. but there will be some rains with that. and that is just a part of life in the sierra in the summer. so we'll have a few scattered showers in the higher elevations ab it is not a significant concern, it is another sign things are summer. this is what the summer does over us. now that's a little off. that is a big area of low pressure spinning its wheels off the coast from us. we're going to get hit by that but that is going to lock the pattern in off of the coast and it will enable our temperatures to not climb too high. because this is not going to let the big bubbling ridge of high pressure envelop california for the next week and a half. if and if we look beyond the seven-day forecast, the deeper degree onfidence e, the h

temperatures will stay below average. there is plenty of blue on there. but first here is your sevennue shows us low to mid-90s for the weekend. but mid-80s by the end of the next week. even a 79 by the time we get to friday. same story for the inland east bay. north bay valleys may not get as much of a cool down. you see the difference. it does get better inland napa county will be below average but that means mid to upper 80s and as not as many in the other inland spots. devin. >> any flood with that thunder and lightning of wildfires in the area. >> the concern is always there with with the lightning. but the good thing is they will be accompanied by wetting rains. is so it is not like a dry lightning scenario. if we could get some decent downpours we should be okay but any lightning has to be watched closely.
