you know you'll not overturn roe v. wade. so i just hate that we come here and we drag witnesses here and put them in the position of testifying on things that they can't control just so we can do messaging. and that is the problem in this country when we can be actually trying to accomplish something. and we keep talking about benghazi. i'm okay with letting the facts play out how they'll play out because i think it is important for the american people to see how government works and when there's something wrong, you figure out what went wrong and you try to fix it. but it's too often we try to bl play gotcha moments when there aren't gotcha moments, instead of being respectful to the people who gave their lives and figure out how to prevent things like that from happen again. so let me just say, and i'll ask ms. stolenberg, do you think that if the law just said you can't have an abortion that we'd go to zero abortions? >> no, i don't believe we'd go to zero, but i believe there are many women dying today from legal abortio

. >> 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 >> 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 oppor

. >> now what would happen to women if roe v. wade were overturned? that's, as you know, the landmark case involving a woman's right to choose. would women still choose to end their pregnancies? would those procedures be safer than those provided by by planned parenthood today? >> mr. conyers, it's true and unfortunate that when abortion was illegal in this country, women did seek abortions and, unfortunately, those illegal abortions are dangerous and put women's lives in jeopardy and women do nonetheless seek out abortions so it's imperative that abortion remain safe and

even though -- if it was roe v. wadewas reversed, you agree that some women would still have them in back alleys? >> would have abortions? >> yes. >> probably yes. >> and the rich would still fly out of country and have them in other places? >> possibly they could but there would be many lives that would be spared. many. >> mr. chairman, i see my time's expired so i'll yield back. >> recognize ms. delbene from washington. >> thank you, mr. chair. i'm deep disappointed that this committee is holding another one-sided hearing more about politics than fact finding. the attacks on women's health just never seem to stop. meanwhile, we are ignoring a long list of bipartisan policies that deserve our attention. right now we could be talking about the much-needed updates to e-mail privacy laws. we could be talking about leveling the playing field for brick and mortar stores or we could finally get to work on our country's broken immigration system. but instead, we're wasting even more time on an investigation that the majority c

he wants to see roe v. wade overturned. >> do you want to see roe v. wade overturned?i would not be in favor of killing a baby because the baby came about in that way. >> marco rubio is defending against criticism for the senate votes he missed while campaigning for president. rivals for the republican nomination has criticized him for having the worst attendance record this year. senator has drawn charges of hypocrisy after saying federal workers who do not do their jobs should be fired. >> some would say you are not showing up or doing your job by voting. >> voting is not the only part of the job. we are still involved in looking out for florida's issues. >> votes are not important? >> i was there tuesday. i got briefed and i'm fully aware. we have a staffer assigned to intelligence. votes are important. unfortunately, too many today are not meaningful. >> jeb bush is in houston today for the second day of high level donor conference. the gathering features george h.w. bush and george w. bush and barbara bush. this comes among salary cuts to his campaign. until now,

roe v. wade is here to stay. but you can express morel outrage about a changing morality that we've come to accept certain repulsive things. >> it is like out of a frankenstein movie. >> planned parenthood frankenstein there. there's moral outrage. and it's also legal. what she's saying was she tried to remove the intact skulls, why? not for any medical purposes, they were more valuable to sell to the labs that wanted to use them for medical research. that's why they were doing it. it's a profit motive. and that by definition is what's against the law. so you can have a moral, not have a moral problem with abortion or what they're doing. but you have to have a legal problem with what they're doing. >> legal and ethical. you should examine the legality and the ethics of it, juan. >> i think we have a set of laws put in place that allow for the use of fetal tissue research, put in place now, decades ago, and you can't do it for profit, if they did it for profit, let me finish, if they did it for profit -- >> let me

but you know you're not going to everyturn roe v. wade. so, i just hate that we come here and we drag witnesses here, and put them in the position of testifying on things that they can't control just so we can do messaging. and that is the problem in this country, when we could be actually trying to accomplish something. we keep talking about benghazi. i'm okay with letting facts play out how they will play out because i think it is important for the american people to see how government works and when there is something wrong you figure out what went wrong and try to fix it. but too often we play gotcha moments when there are no gotcha moments, instead of being respectful for the deceased, people who gave their life for this country, to figure out how we prevent things like that from happening again. so, you know, let me just say, and, i will ask miss stoltenberg since i do have a minute, do you at this that if the law just said you can't have an abortion we would go to zero abortions? >> no, i don't believe we would go to zero abortions

now we may have a legitimate difference of opinion on roe v. wade but it remains the law of the land the attempt by some to relitigate a 40-year-old decision places thousands of lives at risk. many women enter the health care system through a family planning provider. in fact, six in 10 women who he receive services at a publicly funded family planning center consider it their primary source of medical care. planned parenthood aserves 2.7 million americans every year. abortion procedures make up incredibly small amount of the services it provides, only 3%. for example, in 2013, planned parenthood provided 900,000 cancer screenings to women across the country. 88,000 of those tests detected cancer early or, identified be a normalities that might signal a greater risk of cancer. in short in this way, and so many others, planned parenthood saves lives. and so the attempt to defund planned parenthood places each of those lives at risk. we should be grateful that the effort has been almost entirely unsuccessful, at least so far on the federal level. and

if we are going to have a conversation and if it is about roe v. wade we can't do anything about it as much as the other side would like to be president and tell them how to handle a immigration in benghazi. as much as we would like the court to overturn but you are able to run for president and able to express the interest of the subpoena court. we have a bunch of things that we could be working on and have a meaningful hearing to figure out how he gets to be ultimate decision or the ultimate desire that we want. and if it is zero abortions, let's talk about how we get there you know you that you know you are going to overturn roe v. wade. so i just hate that we come here and we drag the witnesses here and put them in in the positions of testifying on things that they cannot control just so that we can do messaging. that's a problem in this country when we could be actually trying to accomplish something and we keep talking about benghazi. i'm okay with letting the facts play out how they play out because i think it is important for the american people

the goal of the majority is to return to a nation where roe v. wade does not allow the land and where women do not enjoy the constitutional right that the supreme court made clear they had to make decisions about their own bodies. now, i don't know why we are here here to talk about the fruitless investigations. six different states including lampett failed to find wrongdoing by planned parenthood. brunett here to discuss tissue donation given to "the new england journal of medicine". virtually every person's country has benefited from research using fetal tissue and we are not here to discuss the federal court order issued this week mandating the center for medical progress turnover more of its fraudulent documentation. this hearing's only purpose is to smear health care provider that helps millions of women every year he provided that i might add enjoys a higher approval rating above the mac and people than i would get any member in this body enjoys. as his committee contemplates the medical ethics of women's reproductive freedom i asked this questi

before roe v. wade many women died and back alley abortions and that the tremendous advance in the country that safe and legal abortions available for women. >> looking at the fourth amendment. but let me just ask this question as i close. on this video argument with the name -- [inaudible] spin from the videos, yes. >> do you really see is not publicly release the entire unedited video? >> i understand no member of this committee have seen the entire unedited videos. >> he relies has taken the fifth amendment'? >> yes. >> do understand he sold the id of a fellow classmate in high school weapon to be a feminist and order to portray these distorted, political and biased video? >> yes, i understand that is the case speed if we are here to find the facts, is it not factual that all the theories would not heard of any statement about planned parenthood in essence violating the law, roe v. wade, constitutional and nimitz and the bill of rights? have you heard that? >> no. no one has been able to substantiate

now, we may have a legitimate difference of opinion on roe v. wade, but it remains the law of the land. and the attempt by some to relitigate a 40-year-old decision places thousands of lives at risk. many women enter the health care system through a family planning provider. in fact, six in ten women who receive services at a publicly funded family planning center consider it their primary source of medical care. planned parenthood alone serves 2.7 americans every year. abortion procedures make up an incredibly small amount of the services it provides. only 3%. for example, in 2013 planned parenthood provided 900,000 cancer screenings to women across the country. 88,000 of those tests detected cancer early or identified abnormalities that might signal a greater risk of cancer. in short in this way and so many others, planned parenthood saves lives. and so the attempt to defund planned parenthood place each of those lives at risk. we should be grateful that the effort has been almost entirely unsuccessful at least so far on federal level. and finally

. >> roe v. wade woman really cannot be equal if she doesn't have control over her reproductive ability. it was as simple as that. >> the newly liberalized abortion law brought immediate reaction. >> i think that the judgment of the court will do a great deal to tear down the respect previously accorded human life in our culture. >> what's interesting about roe versus wade is while it does legalize abortion, it as much really mobilizes the opposition. >> we protest today the holocaust of the 1970s in america. >> conservatives didn't used to mess with politics that much. and they start to campaign. it was the rise of extreme activist conservatism in america. >> certain conservatives don't know what to do with their frustration and with their yearning for the good old days and decide the problem are gays. >> the battle over homosexual rights in dade county, florida, comes to a vote there tuesday. the issue is whether or not to repeal a four-month-old ordinance which prohibits discrimination against homo

what this tells us is no, there's nothing new about antipathy about roe v. wade.on that chord in iowa. no debates are new. what is new is the idea of multiple potential front-runners in the republican party having a no-exceptions pro-life policy. >> great seeing you. thanks. >> you bet. >> lots ahead. up next, is the jeb bush presidential campaign on life support? we'll tell you why there's some cause for concern. >> and later, joe biden speaking candidly about his decision to stay out of the presidential race. much more on this and what it means for the democratic race right here on msnbc. dave'and starting each day game, with a delicious bowl of heart healthy kellogg's raisin bran. how's your cereal? sweet! tastes like winning. how would you know what winning tastes like? invest in your heart health, with kellogg's raisin bran. no crying today... this bale of hay cannot be controlled. when a wildfire raged through elkhorn ranch, the sudden loss of pasture became a serious problem for a family business. faced with horses that needed feeding and a texas drought th

the pro-life republican but i think politically this issue is over and the supreme court decided roe v wade 42 years ago and it will not overrule itself. abortion as a legal matter will be looked at for a very long time. so to fight that battle as a political issue is not fruitful but the story of wagner have people can try to read reach in howl if you can pro-life can accomplish something beyond the political sphere isaacson jones was the head of the largest abortion clinic in my state. a wonderful person and a devout catholic and day got to know each other they had a friendship for example, the abortion clinic on its promises to with the adoption service for the alternative to women that is substantial and insure there have been and never of abortions stopped by doing that. but in the goodness of her heart there is something we could agree on 54ff is a compelling story. many people of a faith feel very strongly about the abortion issue and they cannot separate the political realm. >> i would say that i honor that and i agree. i am pro-life but where can you do the most good? to further yo

roe versus wade. we debated abortion for years in this country. the supreme court decided to issue roe v. wade. i mentioned bush versus gore, they decided that election before all the ballots were counted. -- i want us to have a supreme court. i want a supreme court that is butideologically polarized, is more reflective of the country. and above being reflective of the country, they are first and foremost reflective of the laws of the country. host: the people who are critical of the activist supreme court say that it is antidemocratic. that nine judges get to decide or overrule something that the representative branch of government has decided. is it antidemocratic when they revolt -- review the laws? sen. leahy: in some ways it is. take the voting rights act. that was passed decades ago. we knew just a few years ago, after hundreds and hundreds of hours of debates and hearings, that almost every member of the house of representatives, both parties voted for it, passed virtually unanimously in the united states, again, republicans and democrats signed into law with great pleasure, it is said,
