i want roe versus because of religious reasons. how much of a part do you feel played in this regarding like the dearth of birth? how much of a part do you feel is? not really religion, but really certain people wanting to a certain population number intact. you're very good question. yeah. let me just like say the thing that white supremacy is a huge part, abortion bans and a huge part of regulation. so yes, i think that control and, you know, patriarchy and white supremacy are all very much embedded in that. i think that it's also often sort of difficult to untangle that from religion. so i don't feel like i can totally pull it out. but like that's that's a huge part it for sure. hi, how are you? my name's kiana. so, my first part is a small comment, but least to the question. i'm using the comment line a little closer to the microphone. i'm so sorry. i wanted to know your perspective. i wanted to know your perspective. are your thoughts on moving forward. you touched on it a little bit right? but as we sit in this moment now kno

guest: we saw some of these divisions come out during the few legislative sessions post roe. in several states, there were intraparty fights within the caucus in terms of exceptions over rape and incest. one key question, is what republican leadership will decide to do in terms of would they put a bill on the floor that has some kind of national limit on abortion. host: what do these folks want to see from now, a republican-controlled house of representatives? guest: that's a great question. there was a letter from antiabortion leaders and conservative leaders and they have a list of bills that they would like to see for them to vote on. one is called the heartbeat protection act which would essentially ban abortion after fetal cardiac activity has been detected which is around six weeks. that is one of the acts from last year. centre de lindsey graham introduced a bill that would ban abortion after 15 years. they say they plan to reintroduce that into the house. but he has not gotten a yes or no on whether it will go to the floor and i think it's important to note that whate

the 50th anniversary of roe v. wade called bigger than roe. ultimately, their bottom line has been that row was never meant to be the end. it was meant to be the beginning. that was the bare minimum. they have been fighting for access to abortions in a way that people in vulnerable communities can get. they were not satisfied with roe. so they want to not only reinstate what we had, but go further. we are in march for life. this is just beginning. this is the start, the concert is going to start in an hour. but this is the first march for life in a world post roe. we have seen signs that say "i am the post roe generation." they will be taking to the streets because even though roe v. wade was overturned, as long as abortions are still happening in the country, they will continue to march. so they are doing something different. they are marching differently. on the other side is the capitol. so they will actually be marching to the capitol and they will symbolically be stopping between the capitol and the supreme court as a symbolic gesture tha
