3:35 pm
in many statates in that. they have t to travel hundreds of miless or get go out off s stati ifif they can't afford it or thy don't have insurance it really depends on where they live. so a lot of ways it's like. the pre roe dayss before n nineteen seventnty three which leled to.e de criminalization and the supremee court d decisionn was e rereally t the inequities- and unfairness across the country so yes- you know we're we're facingng that possibility at the level of the supreme court and let's talk about some of the state's weather challenges the coming up of course in twenty nineteen abortion was banned at six weeks and- as states like georgia kentucky ohio and mississippi and- of course alabama banned it. outright yes so those tests the been held to be unconstitutional- date over and over again those are. those laws h have been. broughtt to at brought have been- they've been
3:36 pm
sued and they've lost repeatedly- so that's a good sign and i think it's also important although this is a huge rally today and the president went there and as he said big crowd sohat's where his interestst lies he's going o make this into a rally for himself. but polls show that de ve9. majority of americans 70% support roe and support when you ask them who should mamake this decision should be lawmakers or should it be a woman in consultation with thee doctor 70% say it should be a woman andnd her doctor to make this decision. that's roe versrsus wade that's keeping it legal soo. you know if the supreme court were to make a decision like this. it wouldld. it would be hard to make that happen in practice there will be a l lot of protesest a lott f breaking o of the laws on and of course a lot of suffering as people will turn as they always

3:38 pm
terrible situation and it's very much a regional in the south and some parts of the midwest. and so it's very important that people- recognize this and- vote accordingly- you know we face the problem of gerrymandering efforts to prevenent people from voting and republicans really are- working against- whatt the majority of the country and people in n their own ststates . his late reagan and florida state university fate that's all we have time for thank you so much for being with a rental que has on its very important topic. i think that the us this friday. it was confirmed in the us so o the second case of the new coronaviruses had reached from china a further. sixty three potential cases from twenty two states are also being investigated. as a sometimemes deadly illness continues to o spread across the globe not idea. according to reports two cases also reported here in france one. around
