. >> for me now is the operations director at the west alabama woman center. she's also the author of handbook for a post roe america and the end of roe v. wade. thanks for being with, us can you tell us about what is going on an alabama specifically. >> i encourage everybody to pay attention to alabama. alabama was the first state to pass a total abortion ban, we did that in 2019. now, quite frankly, as we are watching this landscape, i think it is clear that alabama is leading the way exactly how republicans intended to make all abortion inaccessible. and alabama, because of a pre roe law, the supreme court decision came down and all abortion and in the state, all clinics stop seeing -- and it was a complete shut down. it's only been a week. in the weeks since then, we know that the attorney general has been the kind of changing what the views are on how our band works and it is unclear as to what providers would actually supporters are allowed to do. we spent the first few days after the abortion ban came into effect making sure that we could contact all th

leading this bipartisan legislation in the senate, and i would also like to thank the university of west alabama and the national parks conservation association for their tireless work to promote this legislation. thank you, madam speaker. and i urge the senate to pass h.r. 3222 as soon as possible. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess until noon today. >> the house returns at noon eastern today for legislative business. they'll resume debate on the 4 $$405 billion spending package to fund the government tore next year. late they are week members plan to vote on legislation guaranteeing the right to access contraceptives. more live house coverage when members return here on c-span. >> now available the c-span shop, c-span's 2022 congressional directory. go there today to order a copy of the congressional directory. this compact spiral bound book is your guide to the federal government with contact information for every member of congress. including bios and committee assignments. contact informatio

that in west alabama, they cannot provide guidance and information, no abortion, no tools, no medical tools, no nothing. they cannot provide guidance in a information to women who need abortion and look for information where they can get, one where it is not for weeks long waiting, where it's illegal. they feel that they are staff can be prosecuted for that, so the kind of people seeking abortion services. >> this is a completely unacceptable situation that we have right now in the united states. the chaos, the confusion of the law. even more importantly, how this is impacting people on the ground who are seeking abortion care. that we went from getting an injection in texas, at the end of the week, two clinics getting shut down yesterday and patient scrambling to find where they can go. the nation that you cannot give information. i want to say i don't agree with that as a legal matter, not out of the concerns that people have. this chilling effect, but absolutely in this country you should be able to tell people where we can go for legal abortion services in another state. this is a

alabama counties and designates the center for the study of the black belt at the university of west alabama as the management entity. the black belt region of alabama stretches across the lower central portion of alabama from the eastern border of mississippi to the western border of southern georgia. the region is recognized by many as the center of the civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's. several pivotal events in the civil rights movement took place in the region, including the montgomery bus boycott and the march from selma to montgomery. which helped lead to the civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965. the black belt region is a special area of our country that deserves national recognition. i urge adoption of this bill and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. houghman: mr. speaker, i reserve and am prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman fromle new mexico is recognized. ms. herrell: thank you, mr. speaker. i urge adopt

georgia, companies like kia which has a thriving facility out in west point, georgia, about halfway between atlanta and montgomery, alabama, on i-85. semiconductors are essential to the manufacturing of the roughly 340,000 vehicles kia produces in georgia every year. at least twice in the past year this facility which i've visited on more than one occasion has had to stop work at the plant because they didn't have enough chips. they had to stop working not because they didn't have enough customers but because they didn't have enough chips. i visited that west point facility and i've met with some of those workers, and i can tell you that the last thing that those workers need is to miss days off work and money out of their paychecks because we don't manufacture enough of the materials that they work with every single day. it's not just car manufacturers in georgia, the chip shortage is hurting our state's economy in myriad ways, big and small. for instance, steven milner is the c.e.o. of planters telephone cooperative, a member-owned telecommunications provider that does broadband expansion as well as broadband maintenanc

you know before kansas we had four states, alabama, louisiana, tennessee, and west virginia adopt similaritiatives. and kentucky is coming up this november. we are seeing states not only banned abortion, but then take the next step to change the constitution so it does not protect abortion rights. on the flip side though we, have states that are looking to do the opposite. protect abortion rights, california, michigan and vermont all of ballot and issued have to do and protect rights all coming up in november. we are going to see a lot of back and forth. in state constitutions around abortions. and to sapphires point. it's incredibly confusing for voters, it takes a lot of education to help them understand really what is at stake. >> let me quickly follow up with elizabeth. sort of a high risk and high reward proposition if you make a ballot initiative right? quite possible that we could be surprised by the result in kansas. i know, abortion rights obviously polls are incredibly well. if you put it to the will of the voters's are not a vehicle for actually securing and caught defying abor

alabama. and scientists expect the east to shift west in the coming weeks.extreme for a city notorious for hot summers. at least 7 civilian deaths are reported in ukrainian attacks. officials expect the fighting and human death toll will only escalate over the coming weeks. e united states of america anymore? we are clearly in this cold ideological battle where there doesn't seem to be a middle ground anymore. we used to have an abortion stance from the democrat party but it's rare. you have a democrat party committed on one side to infanticide in many states. the middle ground is gone. where do you get that middle ground where the united states sees the other side, right? wait until you see that with guns and due process. you don't see any that. this may issue where you may or may not issue a carry permit has got to go. you have got to give them their carry permit. the governor of new york said we'll do whatever we want. the governor of california said the same thing. we'll start reviewing people's social media. where is the united in the united states of a

west virginia had a similar law, as did alabama, new york, massachusetts, california, hawaii. the tradition i am drawing on spans two centuries, going back to the tennis see law -- to the tennessee law. when you broaden it out to many states and spans virtually all regions of the country and that is the sort of tradition you can look to when defining a national tradition of gun regulation. >> what is the appropriate analysis? i think we generally don't reinvent the wheel, the first thing i would look to in answering this question is not the statute of northampton, it is heller. heller has gone through all of this stuff and obviously in a somewhat different context although that is part of the debate. self-defense at home, this is different, but i still think that you have to begin with heller and its recognition that the second amendment, it has its own limitations, but it is to be interpreted the same way you would interpret other provisions of the constitution. i wonder what your best answer is, to the point that mr. clement makes in his brief, which is that for example, if
