roe. mr. roe: thank you. i appreciate the chance for to us discuss in detail the health care of this nation. . about four or five years ago, i made the decision, after 30 years of practice to think about running for congress. one of the reasons was i knew the health care issue would be huge in the nation's future. boy, did that turn out to be prophetic. second, the thing i noticed in my patients when i practiced was, the sing 8 biggest factor that both medicare patients and other patients had was it was too expense i have. it costs too much to go to the doctor and go to the hospital. if it were more affordable, more of us would have health care coverage. second, we had a group of patients in my practice that couldn't afford expensive health insurance premiums. let's say it was a carpenter, perhaps his wife worked at a local diner or retailer that may not provide coverage and they make $35,000 or $40,000 a year but couldn't afford $1,000 a month for health insurance coverage. lastly, we had a liability crisis

global customers including roe who connected through social media. they've pooled about 80,000 dollars for legal fees and have gotten before the bankruptcy trustee and the judge hearing the m. f. global case. >> we weren't being represented at all because people were saying you're going to have to share in some kind of loss. why? we have segregated funds, so our interest was not being represented, it was you're just like a creditor, you're going to have to share in the distribution of loss. no, we're not and we shouldn't be. >> reporter: roe says the coalition has been instrumental in getting back some customer money but not all of it. retiree arlene and her husband got a check in the mail a couple days ago, while she's somewhat relieved she's now skeptical about an industry she trusted. >> i don't know who we can trust, even a mattress is dangerous, it could catch on fire. i really don't know how to protect our money 100%. >> reporter: the coalition's work won't be over even if all the customers get their money back. he says the group plans to lobby

have one example from "sex, mom & god" i have some of chapters on the development of politics after roe v wade and bolton which clarified for the public which is a limit on abortion i compare it to the way france and sweden legalized abortion but if you had tried 10 years with the well funded think tank to come up with the roots of a culture war too never die how to piss-off the most people permanently forever. [laughter] what you would do is not do of france did gradually or by america state-by-state but writes the rules so sweeping that from then antiabortion end forces could march around and they could say that is what this is to allow up to the last month. their bosses extremism coming from both sides and a sense my father and direct the beginning of the protestant pro-life movement literally to the point* we had roman catholic bishops and the knights of columbus funding a war film series because there were so glad to see them arriving on the horizon like the calgary because they thought there were the only ones who represented back in the early '70s i saw the growth of the movement

anti-war activists we come home feeling terrible despicable about what we did and what we saw sure roe is one of thousands returning from deployment feeling detached and conflicted the laws of decency don't apply to soldiers in combat and when you go back to having to apply those last yourself all the time. you know that for many you know leads you to the grave or to jail an average of eighteen veterans per day commit suicide and many more attempted last year twenty percent of the thirty thousand american suicides was a soldier. or better at it kind of cumulated in. disaster. in that you really start to wonder if you're ever going to be who you were again dr jan kemp says many soldiers come back feeling disconnected from the world in which they once lived then all of a sudden they're there back things happened in their families while they were gone the situation they can come back to is not often the same one that they left in fact many come back to bleak situations a quarter of the homeless in america are military veterans the unemployment rate among vets hovers over twelve percent me

fortunately, -- we all agree roe v. wade is the target. some scholars believe it needs to be overturned because it was so poorly decided. the question is, how do you get there? one of the things we have worked, because we work with pro-life legislators across the country during this last lead of session, 20 pieces of legislation passed alone. we see each one of these victories in the state as accumulating momentum in the life movement but each and every victory is significant and moving us toward the ultimate goal of roe v. wade. that is our strategy. we think it is important to focus on the issues, for example, i have friends who disagree with me on the abortion issue. it is very difficult to find people who disagree on parental notification or the partial abortion. one of the reasons of the ban on that is that it really nailed down 89% of the american people who supported that and read it is the first time we have been able to see any kind of encouragement at all into the absolute right of abortion for any reason for all nine months of p

. >> roe-v-wade? >> that's what the lawyers are trying to do.re they believe there is a genuine concern for the lit grant safety like they did 234* roe-v-wade and like they did for children and juveniles and like they do for victims and criminal matters. that's what i was talking about. otherwise, yes, you have to put your name to that lawsuit. >> what she is trying to till, sir, is this is law 101. >> remi, as you brought up to bill's point, the school board's legal team would know the plaintiff's identity. >> you are correct. >> the protective order that would prevent them from sharing that with the board. >> and lawyers are routinely subjected to protective orders of different natures and different types. it won't be a difficult one to comply with. >> right. >>> and you pointed out that somebody did say sure sounds like christians ought to move out of the county before things get ugly over there. we actually did that to make the story more interesting. so full disclosure. >> how often is that happening? >> more than you think. >> by the way,

reporter: among the most successful innovators is david hanson, who believes we're a lot closer to living roean we realize. >> roerobots will some day, or , wake up. they may be really smart. may be as creative and smart and capable as humans. >> reporter: for hanson, that means both words and all the expressions and movements that go into the way we communicate with each other. so, he developed a human-like robot flesh called frubber, designed to allow a robot face to show all the emotions a human face does. >> david made my body. he is an excellent artist and amazing inventor. >> reporter: is he god? >> i think he's god. better ask him to be sure, though. >> reporter: philip is not perfect. far from it. we had lots of confusing exchanges. do you have a girlfriend? >> girls are one of the most valuable resources. >> reporter: there are some in the community that think robots like phillipp are a gimmick and may be dangerous. they say robots will never be truly human, so they shouldn't look like them at all. >> we need to make them human-like. >> reporter: in we want them to be our friend, and

>> roe versus wade. >> roe versus wade. i'm pro life. i always have been. so those who might not agree with our position, that's where i am. i have two little adopted girls at home who remind me every day, one is from china, one is from india. and i'm remind ed -- i can't sa every day, i don't get to see them every day anymore. that's a heart breaker for me. when i do see them, i'm reminded about their mothers whom i'll never get to meet. and for whatever reason in their cultures where it would have been a whole lot easier to not choose life, they chose life. and we now have the great blessing as a family to raise these two gifrls. and i see how powerful their life is and i see the contributions they will make as they go forward in making the world a better place and bringing joy and happiness to people's lives and i say, that's a pretty powerful thing. and that's just another example, to me, of the power of life. so that's been pretty central to my -- my core philosophy. and that's where i come down on the whole issue of roe versus wade. thank you. yes, si

, newt gingrich, laid out a big idea for how to legally end abortion in america without overturning roewade. >> we will aggressively pursue a strategy that professor robby george of principle ton has raised is that the 14th amend mment clearly allows congress to define personhood. that should mean we can pass a bill defining personhood as beginning as conception and you don't need a constitutional amendment. it is written in the 14th amendment. it would be an act of congress and you can put in the same legislation blocking the courts from reviewing it, which is a procedure jeffersonians used. >> joining me is cecile richardson, president of planned parenthood of america. thank you for joining me. this 14th amendment approach, is this a new strategy? >> a bit of a new strategy. this personhood idea has been around. you may remember, it was just rejected. it was so extreme it was just rejected in the most conservative state in the country, mississippi. >> 42% in favor of it in mississippi -- >> that's right. >> -- 58% against it in mississippi. >> that's right. that's because -- >> you co

. >> i'm against it i'm not going to legislate because of roe v. wade.hink that is mass stake. >> yeah. i think that is a mistake. >> bill: people might say this is the same old romney. if you believe abortion is killing a human being you can't support it no matter what the law says. >> i was simply wrong. >> did you understand the seriousness of aborting a baby in your heart. what was your mind set then? >> it's hard to go back into that time frame but my view was that the supreme court had made their decision that roe v. wade had been settled for 25 years. i was north going to rebit gait that instead i would support the laws as texas cysted and preserves the rights as existed under the decision of the court. and what i found was that i could not do that. >> bill: couldn't live with it yourself? >> when i was faced with signing a piece of legislation that would authorize the creation and killing of human life, i could not possibly go along with that? >> bill: do you consider yourself a conservative thinker. >> i am conservative. i have become more conse

was it -- before he was before the social programs from the standpoint of he was for standing up for roesus wade before he was against roe versus wade. >> reporter: he sunk like a stone in the pomes, falling to the back of the pack. but now, in the last days before the iowa caucus -- >> how are you? >> reporter: perry is casting himself as an every man, bashing the front-runners on the stump -- >> wall street bailout was the single gettest act of thievery in american history. newt gingrich and mitt romney were for it. that's what insiders do. >> reporter: and also on the airwaves. >> mitt romney wall street. he made millions buying companies and laying off workers. newt gingrich k-street. the lobbyist hangout in washington. >> reporter: is it fair to say that your argument is these guys have been corrupted -- >> i'm not going to point my finger at them. what i'm going to say is the industries you've spent your life in is what has gotten america in trouble. i haven't. >> reporter: an outsider. on this 14-day bus tour through iowa, 42 towns and cities on the schedule. perry wants voters to

wade, before he was against roe v. wade. i would do away with the education, the -- >> commerce. >> commerce. and let's see. i can't. the third one. i can't. sorry. oops. this is such a cool state. i mean, come on. live free or die? i mean, you know, you got to love that, right? i come from a state, you know, where they had this little place called the alamo and they declared victory or death. you know, we're kind of into those slogans. it's like live free or die, victory or death. bring it. no those of you that will be 21 by november the 12th, i ask for your support and vote. when you see his appointment of two -- from my perspective, inarguably, two activist judges, whether it was -- notomayor -- >> sotomayor? >> sotomayor. >> the last clip came from an interview rick perry did today with the editorial board of "the des moines register." sort of sorry they helped him out when they went to him for help. don't you wonder what he would have come up with after montamayor? mr. perry making up a new last name for supreme court j

wade" before he was against "roe v. wade." >> those of you that are -- that will be 21 by november the 12th, i ask for your support and your vote. this is such a cool state. i mean, come on, live free or die. it's like live free or die, victory or death. bring it. >> so here's the deal. governor perry had surgery in july, literally announced six weeks later for the presidency and, you know, it's a rough time to travel around running for presidency and recovering from back surgery. yesterday on sean hannity's radio program the governor was asked to look back on his campaign, and it was interesting to hear what regret perry decided to express. >> if there's one thing that i could have changed in my campaign, would i have moved that surgery i had first of july back to the first of january. i didn't realize it was going to have as big an impact, and frankly i didn't even know that it was having the impact it was having on me from the standpoint of just being fatigued and it showed up in the first few debates. >> well, look,

and the whole reasoning behind roe v. wade is a utilitarian phony science reasoning that has collapsed under the weight of modern technology. and the fact is as the country became more and more aware of the meaning of roe v. wade it has turned more and more against abortion and this has been a cultural thing. it is normal everyday people saying no, this is wrong and it goes to the heart of what it means to be an american. the fact is the base of this country, the key to american exceptionalism is the declaration of independence, which says we hold these truths to be self-evident. that we are all created equal and we are endowed by our creator. with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. that is central to defining an american. your rights come from god to each one of you personally and they are in alienable. that means no judge, no bureaucrats no politician can get between you and the rights god has given you. that means the defining when you become the person is central to

so it can be triggered by roe v.wade or gay ricer science or evolution, textbook committees want to rewrite american history to give it a christian background when it had far from christian background and was much more newmont than that. what we are seeing here is no different than what is happening in other parts of the world, sometimes more radically. so the real shame is that i would like to say from the point of view of someone who is religious and who will be in church next sunday, et cetera, et cetera it that what has really paid the price here is not just american politics and a second dip recession which may be in way because of the 87 freshman tea party congressmen who have literally stalled the u.s. government and will not do at the u.s. government does, which is governed because they are trying to dismantle from within. the real story here is another tragedy and that his religion is taken a black eye from which it may not recover because enough people kill women and children unless idiots take their kids o

he spends a whole chapter saying roe v.ade not only is not a lot the land, but we do not have to go through a constitutional amendment to overturn a bad law and even suggests ways it can be overturned. >> i would agree with that. i have not read that chapter. i agree we should have legislation on protecting the personhood of the individual. the congress and the president needs to take this area and reflect the people's values and uphold the sanctity of human life. >> we will break away on a local basis for mr. cooper. we will continue this conversation and go to our phone lines during the break. i am done with some of my questions to michele bachmann and the rest of the segment to get there will be confined to phone calls from all of the country. we're simulcasting with and c- span. >> we are back live with our c- span audience. michele bachmann is in the studio. let's talk with james. >> thank you for taking my call. i appreciate it. pleasure to be on the air with michelle bachmann. i want to address things she said. i was
