michelle goldberg joins me now. michelle, walk us through this.e woman's drug use as one of several medical conditions. there was also congenital abnormality, placental an rupgs. how did this lead to a manslaughter conviction? >> this woman, 19 at the time, was 17 weeks pregnant. she had a miscarriage at home. she went to the hospital and admitted to hospital workers that she had used drugs and they then called the police and she ended up being arrested for manslaughter. even at her trial, the witness for the prosecution admitted to they couldn't definitively say that it was drug use that had caused this miscarriage. there were these other factors as you mentioned. nevertheless, she was convicted, convicted very quickly in a one day trial and sentenced to four years in prison. what we've been seeing over the last several years has been attempts to write the concept of fetal personhood into law. you sometimes see this in the aftermath of an take on a pregnant woman. there will be then an attempt to create kind of a separate category of crime called

joining me now ari berman, and ”the new york times” columnist, michelle goldberg.s easy to demonize the way they are doing things in texas and arkansas, but virginia is more subtle. youngkin doesn't seem as extreme but at the end of the day, the forces compelling republican politicians all compel in one direction, demonize women's right to choose, throw critical race theory, you know, red meat at the base. they're all going to do it. do you have concerns that even people who try to fool you into thinking they're a moderate like youngkin wind up playing the same game in 2024? >> well, i think it's become very clear in the last year that there are very few moderates left in the republican party and that attacking the democratic process is now the central organizing principle of the gop. remember, the republican candidate for governor kicked off his campaign by lying about what happened in 2020 and made that his key platform. but i think what republicans are doing in texas is so revealing because it's really the prototype of their governing strategy, which is to pass

joining me now is michelle goldberg, columnist for the "new york times" and joyce vance.ng to start with you. the appeal is in. can you walk us through what the appeal in theory could be based on and how successful you think that appeal might be given how conservative the fifth circuit is where they are taking this appeal? >> so there are a lot of moving parts in that question, joy, but essentially the state of texas has gone to the fifth circuit court of appeals and they'll ask a three-judge panel in that court to rule a different way. they'll ask that court to go ahead and put the statute back in operation to remove judge pittman's stay. either they'll win or they'll lose there. it's worth noting that only the supreme court can overrule roe versus wade, excuse me, and the fifth circuit panel is obligated to follow roe versus wade, which suggests that they should keep judge pittman's stay in place if they follow the law, but either way we're likely to end back up in front of the supreme court where this case could easily be joined with the mississippi case that the court

joining me now, "new york times" columnist and msnbc political analyst michelle goldberg and staff writer for the atlantic, adam seward. michelle, i'm going to start with you and reproductive rights. can we pull up the map of what could happen in the states if the court overturned roe. when i talked to groups on the ground, they say they have been preparing for this reality for a while. they knew it was coming, that makes it no less devastating. republicans have largely been able up to this point, michelle, to push anti-choice efforts, knowing that the courts would likely overturn them, that they would rarely need to live with the reality of these laws. but they would get to show anti-choice advocates that they were trying to move the needle. what happens politically if anti-choice forces actually continue to succeed at dismantling abortion access across this country? >> you know, i think that it depends to some degree on what the decision on the mississippi law looks like. if they just strike down roe, my sense is that will be an earthquake, that that will be the thing that rouses the wo

first we want to bring in our experts, michelle goldberg and former watergate prosecutor, nick ackerman. nick, your view of the stakes in this kind of clash, a field you know well. >> i think the stakes are extremely high. what's really important here is not only asserting the rule of law, but also congress asserting itself as a separate independent branch of our government. you mentioned before that this would be going to the department of justice for criminal prosecution, but if you look at this resolution, it is not limited to just criminal contempt. basically the speaker of the house is allowed to take whatever action is necessary to enforce these subpoenas, which would include civil contempt, which in a way is counterintuitive because civil contempt actually has more teeth to it than criminal contempt. steve bannon knows he can go through discovery and it can take time before anything happens. before civil contempt, all they need to do is have the sergeant at arms go out, take steve bannon in, bring him to the committee room, sit him down and have him questioned. if he refuses to t

. >> fatima, michelle goldberg writes in "the new york times," i think, the question that keeps a lot of people up at night. she asks this. are we too burned out to defend roe vs. wade? what's happening in texas, not just a broad abortion ban but the demented system of enforcing it may be almost inconceivably dystopian, but after the unceasing emergencies of the last few years, maintaining an appropriate level of outrage has become a challenge. part of the purpose of the protests saturday is not just to register anger with the supreme court has allowed to happen in texas but to get ready for what's on the way. we're talking about a march this weekend and that's important but the real work is going to come quietly and probably out of view for most people. we're looking to build capacity and momentum and i think that's really important in the fight to come. that's rachel o'leary carmona. talk about what michelle's writing about, the fight that maybe won't be broadcast on the news tomorrow. >> well, even at the marches, they are centering people who have had abortions. they're centering

michelle goldberg writes in part, if progressives are able to save back the bulk of build back betterative but if progressives fail to come to an agreement with manchin and sinema, the biden's presidency will fail as well. the stage will be set. the divide in congress is not between progressive and moderates. indeed it's precisely because democrats are not divided. let's bring the host of donny deutsche and patrick escobar, good to have you both this morning. >> patrick, we got a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. i personally believe by talking to both sides, talking to the white house, there is probably a $1.8 trillion deal to be done on reconciliation, that's a total of $3 trillion in 2001 following up on $5.4 trillion, i mean 2021 following up $5.4 trillion in 2020. can't democrats figure out how to frame that as a win because it will create jobs and it will transform this economy. >> you know joe, you are obviously a great negotiator but in this round, neither you and i have anything here. we are talking about progressives verses moderate and on climate, take back one second and
