this is reginald rankin and that's his mugshot. before the case, successful abortions were basically invisible from the public, but with scores of living witnesses there are many -- it opens first richter enforcement of the statutes in california. fewer physicians risk the procedure, unless they're sure their client has a justifiable reason. on top of this, in the 1930s we begin to see more labor delivery and other services like this moving into the hospital, and legal abortions as well. so if legal abortions are moving into hospitals, whereas before they might have been performed in doctors offices, then the need for some of these clinics, or even their visibility comes under greater scrutiny. so now, there's effectively a lunar burden of truth necessary to bring illegal abortions to prison. if illegal abortions are taking place in hospitals, that clinics don't need spectrums, they don't need operating tables, they don't need any of those things because legal abortion should be taking place in the hospital. and if women are surviv

>> for rankin, why does he keep going back abortions? >> yeah. >> i think he was always looking for a get-rich-quick scheme from what i've seen. i don't know whether he's interested in women's rights or simply motivated by profit. before this he did some nefarious tax dealings and real estate and property dealings before, and then i'm not sure whether he realized that abortion was really lucrative and this might be the better option. but he obviously made very good connections in the '30s that he decides to spent basically the rest of his life, he dies around 1955, he spends basically the rest of his life trying to figure out abortion businesses. i had a very brief exchange with his daughter at one point and she said he was a man ahead of his time. and so i don't know if she has this complicated feeling about him. so i choose maybe not to look at the moral aspect, was he a good guy or a bad guy. instead, i say, you know, he was an astute businessman at his prime and he did provide countless women with safe procedures. and how i feel abou

we arejoined by rankin and also by ade williams, an nhs pharmacist who took part in the project.o ade, i do not know if you were told but you are photographed by a world—famous but you are photographed by a world —famous photographer who has photographed the queen. what was it like? good morning! for somebody who kind of values the fact that as an nhs professional you are part of a team, it is kind of narcissistic ideal as well, it is uncomfortable told that but when you start to understand what is behind the project, one of the things they got my attention was why rankin wanted to do this. and it was really to tell the story of the people in the nhs which particularly those who are not front—line professionals, you know, like laura, like my colleagues in the pharmacy delivery, drivers, these are the people in your community and these other people that make the difference, collectively, together. ithink that make the difference, collectively, together. i think that is what got my attention as something worth doing. ade, we are seeing your picture now on a billboard and you have y

perhaps the most well known western women of all of us is jeannette rankin. she was the first woman ever elected to the united states congress. in 1916. now remember, a vote did not happen nationally till 1920, but as i mentioned, wyoming was ahead of the curve. she voted against our entering world war one. she was one of 50 people to do that. and then, she was in congress long enough that she was the only person to vote against world war ii. when she was in her late seventies, there are pictures of her marching to end the vietnam conflict. it is just amazing, that this woman was true to her ideals by this time. one of her quotes, we are half the people, we should be half the congress. and i will tell you, as of 2017, we comprise 19.6% of the house. and a 19.3% of the senate. african american women in montana were part of this larger experience as well. it's not a very good picture of them but the only one i could find. they really worked hard to identify who they were in the fight against the negative stereotypes. another western women i want to bring to you

yes, i will talk about jeanette rankine a little later.is the western connection in wyoming. so, suffrage often thought about as east moving west, did not really happen that way. and i think we have to be really clear and proud of that as western women. now, the national women's hall of fame records that there are about 200 men and women who did the most to advance suffrage and they contributed in ways big and small. a western woman, abigail scott duniway was among them, a crusader for women's suffrage. she was born in illinois and then she travelled to what was called the western state of oregon. would we call it a western state now? i'm not so sure. i would call it northwest myself. she moved there with her whole family in 1852 and she describes the very arduous journey west in her book, her first book called captain gray's company or crossing the plains, something like that. she was nearly completely self-taught. she read newspapers avidly to learn more. and when she got west, she started her own newspaper so that she would still contin

he is the highest rankin republican on the house armed services committee.er today, he received a oniefing from the white hous these reports. and he joins us now from capitol hill. congressman thornberry, thank you veryuch for joining us. tell us, what are they saying at the white house about these reports? rep. thornberry: well, our briefing today was of the classified intelligence information, which is the basis for these concerns about russians encouraging attacks against u.s. tros. eand so we dug down a lit deeper into the information. like a lot of intelligence questions, it's not completely clear-cut. there are pieces of informationn some of it contradictory, and you have to try to put it all together to understand what's really happening. and so that's what we focused on. judy woodruff: so, as you know, the new york times and now other news organizations are reporting thathe russians did offer bounty, paid bounty, to the taliban to kill american troops. that's pretty direct. so, you're saying what you heard today was that this is not true or that it c

house of representative's, jeanette rankin, who would vote against war after the attack on pearl harbor. she was a lifelong pacifist and could not accept the violation of her principal even if the united states was attacked in 1941. the man who had just gotten the speakership of the house of representatives broke with the director of his party and refused to vote for the declaration. this is a time where great questions are at stake. andle are intensely divided politics is going to start impacting foreign policy. timee way, it is a great because just as we are getting ready to debate how to end world war i a pandemic breaks out. the cdc estimates toda about 75,000 lost their lives. deads city had about 2300 -- that is significantly larger than st. louis who is better organized and ruthless when dealing with a pandemic. alone month of october 195,000 americans died. woundsamericans died of during world war i. at about the time the senate is going to move into the most intense question about what should we do regarding the league of nations, we have the most serious medical crisis in the

[laughter] the last 150 years or so. that is so core to, you know, that's how capitalism works in the united states, through various forms of violence. not just labor strikes, but workers' health and safety. >> for me, something we need to be attuned to as historians, we have to watch that our analytical frameworks we're using, that they shift over time. for me, the labor question still continues. it has evolved. an article w
