joining us now is the president of naral pro-choice america, nancy keenan.ery much for your time. >> great to be back, rachel, thanks. >> is it more difficult for american women to access abortion today than it was in the '70s after roe v. wade was decided? >> i think so. and i think it's no longer about the legality, the battle of roe making abortion legal in this country. it has now become a debate and a fight around access. as you heard from the wonderful folks providing the care how difficult it is for women to travel great distances, to be read a script by the government, to be told to have a procedure like a mandatory ultrasound that is neither medically needed nor does she want it. this is the most extreme pressure on women that the ultimate decision is not with her. it is with a politician here in washington, d.c. or in the case out there in the states, in those state capitols, where these folks are cruel, they are intimidating women, and their ultimate goal is to deny that care to women across this country. >> how good is the pro-choice movement, yo

coming up, congresswoman gwen moore and nancy keenan. >>> plus, heading home. prince harry back from afghanistan, talking about taking out taliban insurgents. >>> then, the first lady wows once again at the inaugural ball. our big question, do you believe president obama can deliver on the agenda that he outlined in that inaugural address? we know a place where tossing and turning have given way to sleeping. where sleepless nights yield to restful sleep. and lunesta®(eszopiclone) can help you get there. like it has for so many people before. when taking lunesta, don't drive or operate machinery until you feel fully awake. walking, eating, driving, or engaging in other activities while asleep, without remembering it the next day, have been reported. lunesta should not be taken together with alcohol. abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations, or confusion. in depressed patients, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide, may occur. alcohol may increase these risks. allergic reactions such as tongue or throat swelling occur

and nancy keenan, outgoing president of naral pro-choice america. welcome to you both. so, 40 years later, is roe versus wade still relevant? >> absolutely. and i think because the whole issue around whether individual women make their decision with their family, their doctor, their god or whether politicians as the governor or state legislator is absolutely relevant. it is something we all have to be vigilant around in protecting this very basic freedom for women. >> ifill: charmaine yoest is the fight playing out in the federal level or is it moved on? >> it's really moved on. the day after roe, abortion policy will be governed by the state closer to the people where it belongs. over the last two years americans for life legal team has been involved in seeing the passage of 50 bills that are limiting abortion in ways that the american people see as very common sense. parental consent, informed consent, clinic regulations. there's a lot going on at the state level that is exciting and energizing to this movement. >> ifill: if the antiabortion movement has been chipping

nancy keenan is president of narol pro choice america. she joins us from washington. to be here, carol. thank you. >> it's interesting you wanted us to refer to your organization as pro choice america. i've read numerous articles that your organization doesn't like the term pro choice any longer. >> pro choice america is what this country reflects. people in the country that don't believe that politicians belong in this decision, that it's between a woman, a doctor, and her god and that the bureaucrats, the politicians should stay out of it. here we are 40 years later making sure that that right and freedom is -- remains for women across the country. >> some abortion rights activists say pro choice seems to say you either choose between life and death and that's why they don't like the term. >> you know, it's a term is a term. i think the issue here is who makes the decision? who decides? and there are some on the anti-choice side that say that government should make the decision, a politician should make the decision and not a woman and her doctor and her family. and

joining me now from washington is nancy keenan, the president of naral pro-choice america. specially now so glad to have you back inside "the war room." >> great to see you, and thanks for having me. >> jennifer: you bet as ever. let me start with the policy stuff. what are you most concerned about federal or state laws at the moment restricting rights? >> it's both. the u.s. house of rent is full of anti-choice politicians that are hell bent on denying women's rights. so the battle is at all fronts and i think the most critical to all of this is we have to make sure that we elect and defeat anti-choice politicians and elect pro choice politicians to stop this nonsense that we're seeing both at the state level and federal level. >> jennifer: the last abortion clinic in mississippi is on the verge of shutting down because state lawmakers have made the requirements for it to operate so onerous, and the governor said last week my goal of course is to shut it down. so what does roe v. wade mean if states can do this? >> it's no longer ago the legality of it and access to care th
