in texas women in the rio grande valley hundreds of miles from the clinic, no problem said judge edith jones of the 5 circuit, just drive back. they are going over the mexican border which causes miscarriage and sold over the counter as an anti ulcer medication. even where abortion is available some women can't or won't get to a clinic. they are undocumented immigrants and fear of arrest. they have no money, too much shame around abortion to risk being seen by someone who knows them but now with clinics disappearing more and more women will have no choice but to turn to pills as women do in ireland and other countries where it is illegal for a woman to end pregnancy. some will end up in emergency rooms, some will be injured, some may die. this is what laws supposedly intended to protect women from dangerous clinics will have accomplished a. this is what the so-called pro-life movement will have done for life. as i mentioned there earlier, a single discovery or invention lives up to its promise of deep-seated social change. even the birth control pill, an immense advantage over the clum

this is a a gigantic neon sign on the rio grand saying to central americans and to other people aroundld, if you wait in line and apply for legal eupl operation, you're asap. you come here legally, you have children, and eventually you will be legalized. this will cause a complete new cohort. we will have 11 million new illegal immigrants in 10 or 15 years, we will be through this again and again. i would not oppose this if we were going to be serious about shutting the border. there is no seriousness whatsoever coming out of the administration or the democrats on that. this is an invitation to a mass migration. >>> more with the panel on this very same subject after a quick break. i'm j-a-n-e and i have copd. i'm d-a-v-e and i have copd. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. br

whether we were italians, irish, germans crossing the atlantic, whether we crossed the rio grand or flew here from around the world, immigrants made this country what it is, it's what makes it special. whether we fled famine, war, persecution, whether we have the right documents, connections or skills, whether we were wealthy or poor, we all shared one thing, that was hope that america would be the place where we could finally build a better life for ourselves, and for our children, and for future generations. hope that america is the place where we could make it. that's what makes us americans. it's not what we look like. it's not what our last name is. it's not where we come from. it's not how we pray. what makes us american is a shared commitment to an ideal that all of us are created equal. all of us have a chance to make our lives what we will. for generations--for generations america by choice and americans by birth have come together to renew that common creed and move this country forward that brought us to this moment. that is the legacy that we now have to deliver to the next g
