you said god forbid. you say you're culturally jewish. you don't feel religious. do you believe in god and do you think that's important to the people of the united states? >> you know, i am who i am. and what i believe in and what my spirituality is about is that we're all in this together. that i think it is not a good thing to believe that as human beings we can turn our backs on the suffering of other people. that we should not be living -- [ cheers and applause ] and this is what pope francis is talking about. that we cannot worship just billionaires and the making of money more money. life is more than that. we're living in a nation which is seeing a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires, massive income/wealth inequality. and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on effort.
12:38 am
we are the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee all health care to all people as a right. the only country that doesn't have paid family and medical leave. many other countries are providing free tuition in their public colleges and universities. so essentially what i think is, we do best as human beings. we fulfill our lives when we work together rather than say, hey, i want it all and i don't care about the hungry kid down the street. i don't think that's what america should be about. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i'll ask you one more question. i'm still interested in this. i could talk to you for an hour and a half. what did you think of larry david's impersonation of you on "saturday night live"? >> well -- i thought it was -- pretty, pretty, pretty good! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: bernie sanders, everybody.

"nightline" is next. we'll see you back in the future tomorrow. thanks for watching! [ cheers and applause ] this is "nightline." >> tonight, shout your abortion. a loud crowd and controversial movement echoing across social media. we're with the woman who started it all. why tens of thousands who shared her choice are joining the cause.
12:51 am
while others are fighting back. we're going deep inside myanmar with rare access to a hidden crisis. these people facing unimaginable horrors at home. risking slavery if they try to escape. tonight, our bob woodruff takes us on a journey to see what life is really like as one of the unwanted. and -- slam dunk. what's your favorite guilty pleasure? even health-conscious americans can't seem to resist oreos. from the classic to the kooky. why cookie sales are through the roof. but first the "nightline 5." >> it takes a lot of work to run this business. but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long. and sometimes i just don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost to get the nutrition that i'm missing. >> boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals including calcium and vitamin d to support bones and 10 grams of protein to
12:52 am
maintain muscle all with a great taste. >> i don't plan on slowing down any time soon. >> stay strong. stay active. with boost. >> number one in just 60 seconds. in panama, which is a city of roughly 2 million people, we are having 5,000 new cars being sold every month. this is a very big problem for us with respect to fast and efficient transportation. it's kind of a losing proposition to keep going this way. we are trying to tackle the problem with several different modes. one of them is the brand new metro. we had a modest forecast: 110,000 passengers per day in the first line. we are already over 200,000. our collaboration with citi has been very important from the very beginning. citi was our biggest supporter and our only private bank. we are not only being efficient in the way we are moving people now, we are also more amicable to the environment. people have more time for the family
12:53 am
"the metro has really changed my life." good evening. i'm rebecca jarvis. we begin with a controversial movement gaining ground on social media, giving a new voice to the abortion debate. the fate of it all, a young woman who made waves by announcing she had no regrets about her choice and found others were eager to follow suit. here's abc's aditi roy. >> i had an abortion last year. it was an incredibly positive experience for me because i didn't want to become a mother. >> reporter: so confident in her choice, last month 30-year-old amelia bono decided to share her experience on facebook.
12:54 am
>> i really did it on a whim. like i was running out the door, i was like, i need to mop my no. i'm not going to mop the kitchen, i'm going to tell everyone i had an abortion. plenty of people still believe that on some level if you are a good woman, abortion is a choice which should be accompanied by some level of sadness, shame or regret. but you know what? i have a good heart and having an abortion made me happy in a totally unqualified way. resonated. a friend of bono's tweeted a picture of the post to her 60,000 followers and gave it #shoutyourabortion. >> within a couple of hours there were women in and out of my social circle that were just saying, hey, i had an abortion >> reporter: the hash tag has been shared more than 230,000 times. >> i saw amelia's post. i was immediately inspired. and just so ready to join the movement. my hands were shaking.
12:55 am
thinking about the idea of joining amelia and joining the thousands of women who continue to post. >> reporter: shouts have come from women young and old, married and single, mothers and even grandmothers. >> is the takeaway that people who have had abortions have nothing to apologize for? >> i think that it's up to every woman to define her own experience with abortion and that's really what this is about. i'm defining my own experience as something that i'm not sorry about. >> reporter: bono says she's not surprised by outpouring because 1 in 3 women in the country have had an abortion by the age of 45, according to one study. but bono's one-paragraph proclamation brought her to the front lines of the decades-old abortion rights debate. increasingly a war of words waged on the internet. her personal story garnering public attacks. >> i don't want to qualify them as threats.
12:56 am
meant to make me feel unsafe. and i just won't let them win. >> reporter: especially during this election season. she says she was motivated in part by the republican threat to defund planned parenthood. following the release of these undercover videos by the center for medical progress, purportedly showing planned parenthood officials discussing selling fetal tissue. >> i could talk about the video but i think i'd vomit. >> reporter: planned parenthood adamantly denies the claims. >> the outrageous accusations parenthood based on heavily edited videos are offensive and categorically untrue. >> reporter: the fiery showdown between republicans and democrats this election season rages on. >> make no mistake. despite what we hear from the other side, republicans are doubling down on their war against women. >> reporter: amelia is not willing to wait for the politicians to sort it out. >> i don't know if politics can really address stigma.
12:57 am
i think that's what things like shout your abortion can do. i think that's what we've seen it do little by little in the last two weeks. i'm looking forward to seeing where the world takes it. >> i think the shout your i love it. >> reporter: one of the campaign's most visible supporters is "the good wife" actress martha plimpton. >> they've taken it personally. hi, boo-boo! >> reporter: >> reporter: a life long activist. >> abortion is not some crazy, weird last resort. it is a normal part of women's medical lives. >> reporter: she's the cofounder of the nonprofit reproductive rights group "a is for" and has believed in the cause since she was a teen aimer. >> for me in particular, because i did have two abortions as a young woman, i feel that my ability to access that kind of medical care made it possible for me to live out my dreams and do what i really wanted to do
12:58 am
with my life. >> reporter: plimpton recently joined forces with the shout your abortion campaign releasing this tongue in cheek video. >> pig. that's it. >> reporter: celebrities and activists reading tweets that they receive from detractors after sharing their abortion stories. >> you're a bunch of cells, we should terminate you next, right? oh my god, it's a death threat! >> these are not the brightest bulbs we're dealing with here. but that's not to say they don't represent a pretty formidable force that's so far succeeding in limiting our access to exercise our constitutional right. >> reporter: abortion has been legal since roe v. wade. in the last few years more than 200 limitations on abortion access have been passed into law across dozens of states. a sign that the anti-abortion movement is going strong. >> hey, hey, ho, ho, roe v. wade has got to go! >> reporter: fueled by a new generation of young women like
12:59 am
>> today i speak to you pregnant with my fourth child, my first daughter. we are the pro-life generation! >> reporter: a grassroots organizer who's recruited thousands to her cause. >> we're not out there to reduce abortion. we want this to be over. >> reporter: hawkins says she's not worried about this new hash tag movement. >> i think shout your abortion is a flash in a pan. i think it's one of the many things we're going to see rising up the next few years as abortion activists become increasingly concerned with a pro-life america. do i think it's going to have a lasting impact? no. >> reporter: but plimpton is confident it has digital legs. >> the shout your abortion hash tag kind of gave people an opportunity to participate in a way that they don't normally have when there's an organization that's kind of centralized. with twitter it opens the flood gates. >> how's it going? are you still at the office?
1:00 am
things are just getting started. the grassrooter has put her studies on hold, her focus, turning the internet sensation into lasting cultural change. >> this isn't like roe v. wade that can be overturned. this is just a change in the way that people are talking about a medical procedure. and it's something that clearly i think a lot of people are ready for. >> reporter: for "nightline," i'm aditi roy in seattle. next, we got access to what some call the world's largest outdoor prison hidden away from view where desperate refugees face a devastating reality.like a big bear and he's my little cub. this little guy is non-stop. he's always hanging out with his friends. you've got to be prepared to sit at the edge of your seat and be ready to get up. there's no "deep couch sitting." definitely not good for my back. this is the part i really don't like right here. (doorbell) what's that? it's a swiffer wetjet. it almost feels like it's moving itself. this is kind of fun.
1:01 am
this is deep couch sitting. [jerry bell iii] deep couch sitting! i struggle with bipolar depression, and it's hard. i miss out on life's little moments. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed latuda. there are many forms of depression. latuda is fda approved to treat bipolar depression, which is different from other types of depression. in clinical studies, once-a-day latuda was proven effective for many people struggling with bipolar depression. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients on latuda have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about fever, stiff muscles and confusion, as these may be signs of a life-threatening reaction, or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these may be permanent. high blood sugar has been seen with latuda and medicines like it,
1:02 am
and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks include decreased white blood cells, which can be fatal, dizziness on standing, seizures, increased cholesterol, weight or prolactin, trouble swallowing and impaired judgment. avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice. use caution before driving or operating machinery. i spend time with my family just doing everyday things, really. but you know what? they feel pretty special to me. ask your doctor if once-daily latuda is right for you. pay as little as a $15 copay. visit latuda.com how much protein does your dog food have? 18%? 20? nutrient-dense purina one true instinct with real salmon and tuna has 30% protein. support your active dog's whole body health with purina one. if you can't put a feeling into words, why try? philips sonicare leaves your mouth with a level of clean like you've never felt before,
