now, if governor kay ivy does sign this into law, it won't actually go into effect for another six monthss she going to sign it? well, her office has said she still needs to take a look at it and, look, lawmakers here in montgomery are pretty confident. but i want to take a look at history here. just last year, after a different alabama abortion bill was struck down by courts, ivy released a statement that said in part, we should not let this discourage our steadfast commitment to protect the lives of the unborn, even if that means taking the case to the u.s. supreme court. jake, she has six days after that bill arrives on her desk to sign it. >> all right. diane gallagher in montgomery, alabama, thanks so much. joining me now is democratic congresswoman, jackie speier. thanks for joining us. what's your reaction to the alabama legislation? >> it is a stunning example of 25 white men who have never and will never be pregnant trying to tell women how they are going to live their lives. and it is a right to privacy that a woman has in conjunction with her physician as to whether or not she

alabama governor kay ivy signed a bill yesterday to make abortion a crime in every almost every case,abortion would be allowed if the mother's health was at risk. >> she says it's time for the supreme court to reconside reconsider roe versus wade, the ruling that established a constitutional right to an abortion. already this year mississippi, ohio, kentucky and georgia have passed new laws to ban abortions once the fetal heartbeat is detected. most women don't know that soon if they are pregnant. >>> president trump says he decides how the u.s. deals with iran and rejects reports of conflict with his national security team. administration official also brief congressional leaders today after lawmakers in both parties demanded to see evidence that iran's actions are putting americans at risk. iran's foreign minister accused the u.s. overnight of escalating tensions in the region unnecessarily, that includes sending "abraham lincoln" to the persian gulf with a long with bombers and other military assets. >> the u.s. acted on intelligence showing iran is gearing up for possible attacks

. >>> alabama governor kay ivy signed the nation's most restrictive abortion guidelines banning the procedures in almost all cases. ivy, who had been quiet about the controversial bill, as it pushed through the state legislature took a moment to call it meaningful but unenforceable. the law does not hold women criminally liable for seeking abortion but it would punish health care providers with up to 99 years in prison for performing an abortion. the on exception would be if the woman's life is in jeopardy, if the fetus has a lethal anomaly or if the the pregnancy takes place outside the womb. >> does the bill make exception for a victim of rape? i know the answer. can you tell me why it doesn't? >> it allows for anything that's available today is still available up until that woman knows she's pregnant. so there's a window of time, some say seven days, some say ten, there's a window of time that every option that's on the table now is still available. so she has to take a presidency test. she has to do something to know whether she's pregnant or not. you can't know that immediately. it takes

the bill now heads to the republican governor kay ivy, who has not yet indicated whether or not she willicated issue, mika, looking at it politically. you want to look at it politically, there are a series of polls that have been coming out recently. there's a maris poll out that showed a swing towards americans that identified themselves as being pro-life. but there's always a caveat to abortion polls, and it is this, and i think best exemplified by a fox news poll that came out earlier this year. when you asked respondents were awe pro-life or pro-choice, that was split down the middle. it has off and on over the past decade been split for the most part down the middle. usually more pro-choice than pro-life but certainly voters have been moving towards pro-life for reasons that i have stated before. having to do with technology, 3d imagery, a lot of different things. in fact i must say in this mar is poll, it's interesting that some of the biggest movement towards pro-life voters came from democrats under 40, younger democrats who, again, as i have been saying all along, who are having
