the president of susan b anthony pro-life america. we appreciate it. >> thank you.udy: now to alexis michael johnson, the president of a planned parenthood action fund, the political arm of the country's largest abortion provider. thank you very much for joining us. what is your reaction to this historic decision? >> obviously, i am devastated. it is -- so challenging to have lost faith and hope in, in the institution that controls literally our bodies, our freedom. the fact they came out with this decision even though we saw a leaked version of it less than a month ago, it feels even harder to see it come to fruition. judy: what do you think the practical effect of it is going to be for american women, for american families? >> the practical effect is that people will have to go to great lengths to get out of their states, to get access to care. we know that 26 states are poised to ban access to abortion . 36 million women and non-binary and trans folk will be affected by this decision. we know that people that will be most impacted are likely to be low income, rur

first, i'm joined by the president of the susan b anthony pro-life america organization."the newshour." what is your reaction, the reaction of the antiabortion movement? how much of a victory is this? >> for the pro-life movement, this is a culminating movement -- moment of 50 years of what we believe is the greatest human rights movement of our time. in every single abortion, there are two that must be served, and the experience of women since 1973 when they were told this would be the great liberator, has not been that. it has been quite the opposite. now that the states and congress -- every elected body will be able to discuss this issue in the public square, the merits of the arguments will be meted out in ways that are not closeted as the supreme court required all those 50 years ago, and the will the people will make its way into the law, and women will be served in ways that they deserve . judy: i do want to ask you because you told another reporter today -- you said that you and others will work to ban abortion -- and i'm quoting -- in every state and every legis

i want to bring in the president of susan b. anthony.truck by something i saw from mike pence who released a statement and i have it here, saying that the anti-abortion movement cannot rest and must not relent in his words until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of american law, he says in every state in the land. in every state, he says. what are the next steps? for the anti-abortion movement in your view? >> well, the next steps are to maximize our momentum that we have been building for other 50 years and that is to build strength for life in every state to be as ambitious for life and for mothers in every single state. so that means doing what we can to build consensus. to allow the wheels of democracy to turn. to take that finger off the scale that the supreme court put on in 1973. to relent in its shutting down of the voice of the people. the impact of the supreme court shutting down the voice of the people in 1973 was everything that we've seen since then. marching. conflict. instability. the violence you see. what ou

the susan b. anthony list, the march for life and the narrative is that women disagree with this decision. that's not true. >> martha: this for pro life activists today is a huge victory that they've been working on for five decades, this is something that they believe is far overdue. it's an injustice. this has been corrected at a federal level. the fact is this is being sent back to the states has expanded democracy by allowing 50 state legislatures to debate this to be accountable to the people in their states about what they want to do. and the fight for the pro life activists and the pro abortions activists is not over. they have to convince people in their states that an abortion ban with some exceptions or no exemptions, that that is politically feasible and something that the people that live in that state want. the tenth amendment says anything that is not in the constitution specifically is sent back to the states and the people that live in those states. that's what has happened today. and also

she's the president of the anti-abortion group the susan b. anthony pro-life america. on this day, but what happens tomorrow? will the susan' b. organization, will other allies now go state by state and say it's a ban on abortion after six weeks. will you push the legislature and the governor to wipe it out completely? what is your next move? >> well, the move is after 50 years the will of the people will be able to make its way into law through elected legislatures to be ambitious for life and for mothers as we can in every single state. every single state looks different from the other but we of course will move to protect as many unborn children and their mothers serving them as we possibly can. the restoration of democracy will i believe despite what we've seen from the supreme court right now lead to more civility in our discourse. we'll all get to argue the merits of the case in the public square, and we'll get to a place where we have a consensus that may not please the pro-choice crowd or the complete pro-life crowd, but we'll have a consensus. that's what amer

she is the president of the susan b. anthony pro-life america. what is your reaction of the antiabortion movement? how much of a victory is this? >> for pro-life, this is the culmination of the greatest human rights movement of our time. and every abortion, there are two that must beerved. in 1973 when they wereold this has been -- this would be the great liberator, it has not been. now when the states and congress, every elected body will be able to discuss this issue in the plic square. the merit of the arguments will be made out in a way that was not required 50 years ago and the will of the people will make its way into the law and women will be served in ways that they deserve. >> you told another reporter today, you said that you and others will work to ban abortion in every state and every legislature including the congress. is your goal to ban abortion nationwide? >> if you look at what i said, you would see that i will work and so will pro-life movement well all of the legislators and democrats don't like abortion after the first trimest

she is head of susan b anthony pro-life america in arlington, virginia founded in 1990 two to alrnatelyrtion in the united states, primarily by electing politicians who will pass laws and appoint judges to do that. >> the strategy worked. it was very simple. you can write it out in three sentences. but very hard. it takes bringing people together that don't always agree to do something really important that you don't have 100% chances of success. reporter: for decades, her group has worked diligently to defeat abortion-rights candidates, even if that meant opposing the republican in the race. >>>> so that then in 2016 when we elected a president -- that we would have a senate to confirm those nominees. he did not know that we were going to get three, but getting three confirmations was the set up for finding the right case, and we are living with that now. reporter: the stars had to align in some sense. >> in a lot of little decisions that led to huge consequences. and i would say one of course was leader mcconnell deciding to hold up the merrick garland nominee and wait until the elect

joining us now the vice president of communications for the susan b. anthony pro life america group. their mission has been for decades to end abortion. you and i spoke the day of the draft of the opinion was leaked. you didn't want to assume anything you told me at the time but now it is here. what has this done to activate your base and what is the reaction you are hearing over these past few hours? >> this is an historic moment for the pro life movement. we worked so hard for 50 years engaging in the political process peacefully to change who represents us, to change the law, to challenge this unjust supreme court case. and now we have this finally, the court has taken its thumb off the scale and is going to allow the american people to decide through their elected representatives where they have consensus. where we'll protect unborn children. this is our opportunity to modernize our law. the united states is one of seven countries, and have been up to this point because of roe vs. wade that allows abortion on demand up to the moment of birth alongside chin

the susan b. anthony list, the march for life all run by women. and the narrative is that women disagree with this decision. that's's nottrue true . l this four pro-life activistt today is a huge victory. they've been working on for five decades something they believe is far overdue, that an injustice against millions of innocent livesju inside the has beenst corrected a federal level. but the factt is that this is now being sent back to the states. it's actually expanded democracy by allowingxpmo 50 ste legislatures to debate this tohe be accountable to the people in their states about what theyg want to do and the fight forif the pro-life activists and the pro-abortion activists isn't over . they're going to have to vists of the people their state that an abortion ban with no exceptions,thei with exceptions, maybe 15 weeks like we're about to see in virginia under republican governor akin to that is politically feasible and somethingha that the people who live in that state actually want. i mean, the 10th amendment saysa anything that is nott in

and i want to point it was mallory carroll, of the susan b anthony list, told me on friday. >> we havetalking to governors across the country, saying them as the real consensus builders having to leave the conversations in a lot of these states. , that is one of the first option is going to be. and we are expanding our team to replicate the success that we have had at the federal level, to leverage politics, and policy. to stand up with people who say they are pro-life, we want to protect children and women. you want to pass consensus legislation at the state level, to defend them politically, work with them once they are elected. and hold them accountable for the promises that they have made. >> so, a reality check. how formidable of an opponent do antiabortion activists remain? president biden says that this is not over, but obviously they don't think it is either. >> yes, the fight really pays to the states where it is, always frankly, ben. but now we have lost roe it is even more so. look, our opponents are incredibly emboldened right now. they are seeing unprecedented levels of fu

also with us is president of the susan b. anthonyn organization that aims to end abortion in the u.s. can you give us your first reaction to this ruling and what you have seen. >> yes, it's the culmination of almost 50 years of work. back then, 50 years ago, every single pro life law was wiped off the books in all 50 states. it was the court saying we don't care what your opinion is on this deeply moral and difficult position. today the court has reversed that decision saying, yes, what the people care about does matter, and it should be allowed to make its way into the law. that is how democracy works in our nation, and the reason that it has been so divisive, so difficult for almost 50 years, building in difficulty is because that has not been allowed to happen so today is a day of hope, and certainly a day of celebration for the pro life movement, and we will stay focused exactly as we always have been, and that is saving every life and serving every woman. >> does this end it for anti-abortion efforts or is there a next goal here
