that it used to be north dakota and south dakota and mississippi. it's the senate in arkansas, in wyoming, larger number of states. and as we have states with just one clinic, these outside groups that want to abolish access to abortion, even if they can't abolish the right on paper, put a target on all of these states to try to pressure those individual clinics out of business. that makes your status in north dakota not just a north dakota story, but a story of national importance. and people who see it that way, how do they -- how do they make this a national issue? i mean, the other side has made this a national issue. but is support for you a national issue too? can it be expressed in a way that is helpful the you? >> absolutely. and i think ever since the north dakota legislature has started down this path, our clinic has gotten e-mails, phone calls, letters from all over. we've gotten support from all over. i think the rallies all across the state today have shown that we have support in state and out of state. and i think that when you are a

and while all eyes may be focused on the state, what happens in north dakota does not stay in north dakotal over the country, anti choice groups like personhood usa are targeting states with republican controlled legislatures and are seizing this moment of single party control to chip away at a woman's constitutional right to choose what happens to her body, one state at a time. and with 53% of americans living in states where republicans control the legislature and the governorship, there is indeed a lot at stake. joining me now is cecile richards, president of planned parenthood action fund. good to see up. >> good to see you, alex. >> let's talk about what's happening in north dakota. generally speaking, all of these republican held statehouses and this precedent it says. north dakota has a surplus of $2 billion in oil revenues, which makes it a lot easier to fight a controversial decision like the one they are making. >> the crazy thing, this isn't supported by the people of north dakota. and somehow, you know, governor dalrymple by signing these bills today has made north dakota now t

when we come back, we go to bismarck and fargo, north dakota.f north dakota has just enacted the strictest abortion ban in the country. stay with us. ♪ [music break] >> this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we turn to a major development in women's access to abortion in this country -- this time, ground zero is north dakota. on tuesday, governor jack dalrymple signed into law three bills that could effectively ban abortion in the state and set up a major legal challenge to roe v wade, which legalized abortion 40 years ago, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. one measure blocks abortions after fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can happen at six bags of pregnancy or even earlier. another bill would make north dakota the first day to ban abortions based on genetic defects such as down's syndrome. a third bill will require all physicians to perform abortions in the state to have admitting and staff privileges at a nearby hospital. meanwhile a fourth bill has passed in both the north

we serve women from north dakota, south dakota, minnesota.atients travel an average of three to seven hours to reach our clinic. >> we know most women who seek termination already have a child. 88% seek it in the first 12 weeks sochlt why does north dakota feel such a need given those statistics to impose it in this decision? >> well, i think lawmakers here are emboldened. there was a procedural move where the senator got the move killed. and he was used as an example and said if you mess with us, we're going to mess with you and lose your seat. we also have billions in reserve oil money. >> so the oil money thing is fascinating to me. some of this is just about the inside of the policymaking. some of the reports say these are policies directly from wikipedia and the reason they're showing up on the legislative floor is there used to be a safety valve in the house that kept them from going and now that's gone and folks are willy nilly putting these things out there. >> they're funny they're saying it comes for wikipedia. it's clearly coming f

so what it does -- >> in north dakota. >> in north dakota. what it does, it puts those bills -- 10% of americans support it. basically ends access altogether. that's a fringe position. about 10% of americans that say abortion should be illegal in all cases. >> i have to tell you, joan, you and i have talked about these things. i don't understand what world these people live in. you can have all kinds of moral positions about abortion. i may be relatively conservative on that issue. but when it comes to the law and it comes to punishment and it comes to a society that has to live in a secular universe like we do, how in the world do you outlaw abortion? i've never understood what it means. a woman or young girl gets pregnant, she doesn't want to be pregnant, doesn't want to have a kid, she goes somewhere to get it taken care of. it happens. to stop that under the law you have to inflict some incredible punishment on the woman or the girl so she won't do it. or you let it go underground. because if you can -- >> right. >> if you don't punish th

this was yesterday in minot, north dakota. in minot, north dakota, they weren't alone.ters came out all over north dakota, in minot, in bismarck and fargo, urging the governor to veto anti-abortion bills that passed through the legislature and landed on his desk yesterday. the bills included a ban on abortion at six weeks of pregnant which amounts essentially to a total ban, since that is before many women even know they are pregnant. a mississippi trap law that consists of targeted regulations to shut down one remaining abortion clinic in the state. today when news hit the governor of north dakota jack dell rim pell signed those bills, they say the lone clinic in north dakota got a flood of unsolicited donations. they posted this on the website. in big bold letters. abortion is still legal in the state of north dakota, despite the signing of some bills today by the governor. red river women's clinic is open, available for appointments and legally performing abortions in the state of north dakota. the director of the last clinic spoke with us on last night's show, givin

i've been in north dakota.ia and, yes, they're both states of the united states of america but beyond that --. melissa: in north dakota do they like money and like working? is that what it is? >> people said that the u.s. doesn't have an energy policy. somebody said recently the u.s. always had a energy policy and they didn't realize it. that policy you get private right for development of minerals under your land. that has always been the case up there. melissa: what does that mean? >> in fact it used to be the mineral rights belonged to state in other country. >> right. >> in united states the united states mineral rights belong to the landowner. states with heavy agriculture and people developed with a farm and something else they understood that the idea you can develop your land and turn it into a thriving oil and gas facility made a lot of impact and also not in at odds with the way they always thought up there. so they have been able to take the culture. plus their reserves and turn it into a boom you se

north dakota actually has seen significant economic growth over the last few years.s to a booming energy industry north dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the entire country, 3.3%. the energy boom has brought north dakota more jobs, more wealth and more development. but the one thing it hasn't brought is more women. a recent photo essay "new york times" in the sunday magazine made the point painfully clear. in one picture, you can see plenty of guys milling around a singles bar on the weekend. but you sure won't and don't see plenty of women. in fact, the male to female ratio at that bar was reported to be 5 to 1. yet north dakota just passed and the governor just signed one of the worst, if not the worst, bills restricting women's access to health care services in american history. the bill would force the red river women's clinic, which is the only facility in north dakota that provides women access to the legal procedure of abortion, in addition to other health services, to close its doors. in fact, the legislation is so extreme, a number of republican sta

why is this happening in north dakota now? >> i think we're a very conservative state. low-population state. i have 13,000 constituents. it's a little easier here and i think that's part of the reason and we are conservative there's no doubt about that. >> michael: that's an interesting answer and one i never think about when wondering why these things happen in states like kansas and north dakota, aside from the conservatism is the low number of constituents per legislator and that's unusual, and certainly facilitates that happening. pro life republican curtis olafson blocked the state-wide abortion ban in north dakota because he didn't think it could withstand the constitutional challenge. and then he lost his seat and they said, quote . . . like curtis olafson you are opposing anti-abortion legislation. could this be dangerous for you politically? >> i'm not worried about it politically, what i am saying i believe is what a number of my constituents believe. that's certainly the world i am getting. is that it is a personal choice. whether you believe you are pro life

thune: i thank the senator from north dakota. he put it absolutely right in terms of what the priorities should be and what the stakes are in the budget debate is. and i thank him for his leadership on this issue and want to just close with one final point that he made, and that is, he talked a lot about the impact on the economy and what happens when you get economic growth. and his state is a good example of this, because the state of north dakota has a growing economy. when you have a growing economy, you have people who are work making money, people who are working, people who are invest, mean people are paying more taxes. that's how you get more revenue. what we need in this country is a growing economy. in the last four years, the average growth rate is less than 1%. .8%. the 60-year average of economic growth for this country, post-world war ii, 3.3%. so we're growing at less than 1%. we have added in the last four years $6 trillion to the debt. and we still have 12 million people unemployed in this country and an unemploy

state and north dakota is arguably the country's most socialist state because most states when they take tax money they put it in a bank at wall street there's only six banks that can handle the kind of money that new york and california generate for example north dakota they've got their own bank it's nationalized or state ised why doesn't the rest of america i mean this there actually spinning off a profit they used to pay for schools what's wrong with this bob well you know when i was. socialism is that let's you know two thousand and ten there was a big debate going on a company who called the obamacare and one state was singled out it was a little deal that some people made the they called different different names but one state was singled out if certain senator voted the certain way all of a sudden no notable court house. it was the state you're talking about they don't have to be involved in the federal student loan program and when you don't have that one major bubble would you have all these different people who are defaulting so that's what i know your sense to you is sor

south dakota would require you to take two trips.y comes down to personal economics, whether a woman has a car and can afford to take the time off from work and to get child care to go to seek that abortion. oscar. host: joining us for a local perspective as dave thompson. he's the director of prairie public radio in north dakota. good morning. how has this law been received on the ground? guest: it is definitely polarizing. we have people who are saying, good for north dakota. a lot of people are saying, where are we going as a state? it is evenly divided from the calls and e-mails i have talked to. host: how did this get through the legislature? guest: the governor stayed out of it until the end. it was through the efforts of the pro-life legislators, the people who are anti-abortion who pushed this legislation through. as you see, there have been a number of bills enacted, some that might be even contradictory. however, they were basically saying to everybody who would listen that it is time to challenge roe v. wade. there were pa

we have the bell like north dakota.er states that require doctors to have privileges, which depending where you live can be hard to obtain. hospitals don't want to get into the political side of whether abortion is obtainable in the state. mississippi passed last year and it's really challenging, getting challenged in court in mississippi is another one for there is one abortion clinic laughed. they may have to shut down. another pop the other while we've seen is to require abortion in ambulatory surgery centers and those are certain hallway requiring a certain requirement that sinks in closets and stuff like that. michigan passed a law last year and that is going to be very expensive for providers to conform to and therefore put them out of business that way. >> host: was go to the phone. hi, mark. >> caller: yeah, i just wanted to say that i'm only saying that republicans had the double standard about a bigger government, beget they want to take up women's race to have control of the body and just getting really frust

south dakota so the one clinic for both states. there may be private physicians and don't advertise it but for those women were the providers are few and far between it is an unusual to drive 10 hours one way. when you consider most states there are also waiting periods say you drug -- to the drive for china's. the first trimester abortion generally runs about 350 and $500 many will still cover that although not everybody does that but after the 12th week the price goes up it is very safe but it is a more involved procedure. one of the women that i interviewed had an abortion then at 302nd weeks in had to fly from the east coast of colorado because only a few clinics could see her because of fetal anomaly is. cost $17,000. >> two quick comments. man with the clinic escort the question i did is they are surprised they need anybody to do that anymore. they think it is over and nothing goes on any more. of one of the most important discussions you can have is people don't understand what pro-choice means. they will go through how they

. >>> this week, north dakota became the latest state to challenge roev.oving to ban abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy on the heels of arkansas and other states chipping away at abortion access. those caught up in the debate think that abortion could soon be headed back to the supreme court. is that a good thing? joining me planned parenthood president, cecille richards joining me from new york. good to see you. >> great to see you. >> what is the best legal strategy for you and your advocacy in terms of all of the incremental changes in abortion rights, state by state by state. are you prepared to risk a test case that would go all the way to the supreme court and especially with this court, risk overturning roev. wade. >> andrea particularly the state of north dakota they've passed a series of bills and the governor has signed bills that are absolutely unconstitutional. so i think whether it's the north dakota case or another, something will be going to the supreme court. it's so ironic that we would be in a week in which we're talking about

beating rival north dakota state.hat's the summit conference final. valparaiso headed to the tournament for the first time in almost a decade, they earned their bid by beating wright state 62-52 in the horizon conference final. imagine, that was all the way back in '98. we know all the tournament teams and will know all the details when the brackets fully come out sunday night. >>> to the nba now where dwight howard got the welcome you would expect on his first trip back to orlando, his former team. his lakers had won three straight aheaded into this one. early in the first, making his presence felt. nice feed from kobe bryant. second quarter, howard does it on defense, swatting the attempted shot. that one to the second row. kind of vintage howard. he finished with a season high 39 points and 16 rebounds. as the lakers rolled 106-97. think he was motivated? more nba now. heat facing the hawks. dwyane wade gives up. wade scored 20 on the night. the heat have now won 19 straight games. very impressive. starting to get

the north dakota clinic is still open. for those women that that is their option, it's not up common in states that are geographically large and where the providers are few and far between to have to drive up to ten hours one way to get an abortion. and when you consider that most of these states, there are also waiting periods in effect, so you're doing that ten-hour drive four times over the course of several days. cost wise, a first trimester abortion which is up to the 12th week of pregnancy generally runs between about $350 and $500. some, most private insurance companies still cover that, although not a lot of women use insurance. after the 12th week, the price can go up very quickly because the procedure is still very safe into the second and third trimesters, but it's a more involved procedure the later the pregnancy goes. so one of the women that i interviewed for my book, she had to have an abortion done at the 32nd week of pregnancy because of fetal anomalies. she had to fly from the east coast to colorado to ha

why do you think this is now coming to north dakota?> well, i think there's a perfect storm that's happened here. north dakota legislature only meets every other year, so they're kind of playing catch up with some other legislatures. we have billions in reserve. we have a budget surplus from the oil money, so nobody is afraid to spend the money. we had in 2011 another person who had a bill come forward, and a senatesenateer killed the bil was redirected, he had to run again, he lost his spot. so other senators and representatives are scared. they want to keep their jobs, keep their seats, and they have been bullied and threatened with losing their seats if they don't get in line and vote with the bills. >> tammy, nice to have you join the show today. thank you. >> thank you. thanks for having me. >>> just ahead, the military officer's dying crusade was to fight doma. she died right before leon panetta extended benefits to zf members. i was cooking dinner for my family. all of a sudden, i was just wringing wet from head to toe. boom. hea

what happens in north dakota doesn't stay in north dakota.ce other republican be leaders, other republican candidates to talk about this issue for months to come because of what they're doing in one legislature in one of 50 states. >> part of the gop autopsy was not to talk about these types of contraception issues. >> this is a mentality of the rovian mentality. those who vote exclusively for this issue vote for candidates who are -- who are pro life. this is a winning issue for republicans. it's an issue that helps energize its base. we didn't lose the election because of life or marriage. we lost the election because we had a terrible candidate who could not connect with the middle class and who had a terrible position on ill gra immigration. >> there's been a critique of republicans, a convention they call the abortion jamboree. >> you know what i didn't get from that statement is i care about women. that's statement is all about politics. let me tell you how extreme this bill is. you could be trying to get pregnant and not know if you're

and this in the middle of nowhere, is williston, north dakota.eally what the oil boom looks like. that's oil rigs and oil flares. north dakota now accounts for 11% of the nation's oil production. north dakota is also the number two state when it comes to crude oil producing in this country. and republicans argue that this cut is just necessary for the state to stay competitive with other oil-producing states. are you kidding me? this is a classic example of how needy kids will go without, but the oil companies just can't get enough and the republicans will lay out the red carpet for them. it's another classic example of how even on the prairie, yes, they will take from the poor and they will make sure the rich get whatever they want. >>> this is your day. this is the day of the advocates, the day of the survivors. this is your victory. >> republicans in congress are taking credit for the violence against women act. after they voted against it. the big panel tears apart their deception plot. >>> a republican former congressman steps out with the t

north dakota has been passing abortion restrictions lately like there's no tomorrow. the state's republicans are saying it's too much. republicans state representative kathy hawkin writes in the "daily beast" this week that her home state of north dakota is quote poised to win the state-by-state race to the bottom on women's health. coming up to the panel i want to go to lee. what's going on here? i mean you definitely do seem to have an obsession, a singular obsession with republicans, whether it's in congress or at the state level with passing laws that limit and restrict abortion and this is irrespective of the polls saying this is crushing the gop with women. >> this is a terrible precedent here. i mean if this actually goes forward, this is just so anti-women's rights and it also could send us back to the days where women take unhealthy options when a choice is removed from them to, to make a decision on their own. that could lead to really terrible health consequences as well. we have seen that happen before. and it's just taking that back to their era and remov
