i remember before roe v. wade, i even wrote a paper regarding abortion and child abuse. st, women have been getting abortions since time began but what roe v. wade did was give them access to safe abortions. i feel that we as individuals -- a lot of people are trying to impose their will on others. we have to realize the only person we are accountable to god for is ourselves. if we live the way we should be living, and treat each other with kindness and understanding and compassion, then we will be living according to his word. the person who has an abortion have to answer to god. host: max in indiana, democratic caller. where does abortion right for you -- rank for you? caller: i am against abortion but i am a democrat. there are a few things i do not agree with but i believe democrats have done a wonderful job. joe biden got elected and stopped doing a whole lot of talking. he sat down and got a plan. in 83. i remember people saying, why are we giving so much money to foreign aid? he said why don't they give it back to the people? he started giving to the people and sto

if roe v wade was overturned. because there are those that remember a time before roe v wade.y know exactly what happens. it is sad that we live in a country that is supposed to be an example for the entire world, but when it comes to women in this country, for some reason, there are those that have decided we will be nothing more than second rate citizens. i am telling you, as a black woman in this country, i refused to become a second rate citizen. so, we know that our reproductive rights are being attacked at every level by the radical right. if someone from the state of texas, you all know i know a little too well, this, of course is not the first time we have seen these attacks, but make no mistake we are facing the time where they are trying to make men control every aspects of a woman's bodily decisions. these aspects are not without legal consequences. roughly one third of women reproductive age are living in the 14 states that have abortion bands. this is on top of abortion being severely restricted in an additional six states. as a result, 14% is more than 200 miles

something like 64% of americans do not want to see roe v. wade to be the beginning, by the way. you know, there used to be a case called connecticut versus griswold. >> jimmy: oh, i'm very familiar with it. i'm not. [ laughter ] >> all kidding aside -- >> jimmy: is that from the "national lampoon vacation" movie? >> it is. connecticut versus griswold said you could not use contraception in the privacy of your own bedroom, because in the constitution there was no right to privacy. so they can outlaw, and if you use contraception, it was against the law. you couldn't purchase contraception. and, you know, there's a whole range of things that are at stake here when we talk about eliminating roe v. wade and all its -- all the -- >> jimmy: same-sex marriage. >> i mean, it's just ridiculous. in my view. and i don't think the country will stand for it. but i think what we're going to have to do, there's some executive orders i could employ. we believe, we're looking at that right now. but i want to keep -- [ applause ] >> jimmy: employ them. >> hey, loo

we've seen so many example since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, ohio beating the latest. jeff zeleny, cnn, columbus, ohio. >> linda lee is a political strategist and women's co-chair of the democratic national committee, and she joins me now from philadelphia in pennsylvania, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you so much, rosemary. >> so ohio voters have projected issue one in a significant win for supporters of abortion rights after the ballot measure was pushed very hard by the states republican let congress in an effort to make it harder to in shrine abortion rights in the constitution, but they felt at. what is your reaction to the result? >> i am absolutely floored but not all surprised by the vehemence against the power of women and our allies after tops. ohio voters -- double digits. not only that, kansas trounced an abortion ban despite the catholic church sending $3 million, despite waves of money coming in from outside groups, badly gerrymandered wisconsin, elected a pro-choice judge by double digits. the republicans, i noticed, the more they come af

the bottom line is that roe v. wade took abortion out of not just the states but congress. when dobbs came in and it down roe v. wade, and returned the issue of abortion, like the issue of gun control, minim wage, etc., to the political realm both on the federal and the state level. a lot of republican responses to eight, lindsey graham from south carolina, might support what pence calls the minimum standard, that on a federal level, after 15 weeks abortion will be outlawed except in cases like rape, incest and severe threat to the physical health of the mother. the states could more restrictive. 95% of abortions are in the first 15 weeks. so the 5% of later abortions would need to have one of these exemptions in order to be legal. if florida wanted to outlaw it at six weeks when the baby has a heartbeat, florida can do that. but new york obviously would not pass any restrictions. but it would still be illegal after 15 weeks under this bill. nikki haley's point that you probably don't have the majority of the senate or the super majority to overcome a filibuster is also true

it shows this strong support since roe v. wade was overturned for not overturning it. at remains. >> that absolutely remains. does approve of the supreme court overturning roe v. wade. all voters 63%. you get 93% of democrats. look at that. 69% of independents. you also get nearly a third of republicans here. those are the types of voters who went in ohio last night and voted no on that particular ballot issue. it's not just about abortion. it's about going to the rest of the ballot box. i want you to look -- this is complicated. this the average special election and this is the democratic margin. in 2021 and 2022 before roe v. wade was overturned, the democratic candidates were doing three points worse than joe biden on average. look where we were since roe was overturned. look here. they are doing about six points better than joe biden's been doing on average. so it's not just about abortion. it's other issues. what you are seeing is democratic-leaning voters more likely to turn out and support democratic candidates. abortion, it's not just about abortion. it's giving

you said a year after all these people all the golfers were celebrating roe v. wadegry about roe v. wade being overturned, now the later people are celebrating that i'm going to be playing a major championship with an unborn child that they recognize as life. it was such a beautiful point to make. why do you think this outrage the staff as you said so much, why are they so angry you would point out something so obvious. >> i don't want to speculate to that, i think one of the things i wanted to point out i had these two experiences and they were different and i live for both of them and i wanted to bring something to the conversation and bring it to the table. i knew it would be controversial, is a very controversial issue. i expected backlash from people who disagreed with me but i certainly did not expect the story to run and i think the thing that concerned me is that media is deeming itself the gatekeeper of an acceptable opinion and what can be said and not said in public discourse. rachel: they want to erase you as a pro-life woman from the story and golf. will

that said that roe v wade and casey were no longer the law of the land. meaning there is no rights for a woman to control her own body. we get related to things like abortion, her own health care. and so this ohio vote yesterday was an end around attempting to stymie a constitutional amendment vote that's on the ballot in november in ohio to enshrine the rights of women. to be able to have an abortion up to the date of the viability of the fetus. and what this boat was yesterday was to change a constitutional name and vote from a 50 percent simple majority to a 60 percent super majority. and we know if we look across the united states since wrote the wave was overturned, the states that have held valid issues, both on reproductive rights. you've seen the voters vote in support of a woman's right to an abortion. and when i see that, and i think conservative have been fighting for decades to, to get route versus wade overturn. they got that. and yet it's beginning to look like a liability. why is that? this is because the extreme is, the fanatics took over

even republican, nearly a third republicans disapproved of the supreme court overturning roe v. wade obviously what democrats want is to figure out a way to take this obvious support on balance for abortion rights nationwide and see if they can expand it just beyond the abortion issue. any evidence there? >> yeah. take a look at the special elections. the average special election the democratic margin compared to joe biden's margin. look, in 2021, 2022, the role reversal. those average democrats did three points worse than biden and look at the post-roe, six points better than biden. it's not just abortion. it's transitioning to the ballot box. >> harry enton, great to see you. kate? >>> coming up for us, a never before seen memo with the plan to overturn the 2020 election and what this could mean for the case against donald trump. top u.s. and mexican officials are meeting to talk about the southern border. at the top of the agenda, the controversial barbed wire and buoys that texas has put in the rio grande. we will talk to a democratic congressman who got a tour of the floating ba

this appointing supreme court justices that will overturn roe v. wade. that was a big argument he made. it has driven people to the polls. even people who didn't like donald trump, the idea that this could happen. democrats have not had this same momentum behind abortion. now it appears that this is at least an enthusiastic issue for these democrats. >> it certainly happened in 2022 and yesterday's vote in ohio suggests it has not gone away. >>> we're two weeks away from the first presidential debate, and only one candidate has formal ly qualified to be on th stage. who made the cut? we'll tell you after the break. ooooh, let me put a reminder on my phone. on the top of the pilile! ohoh. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. libertyty. ♪ >> woman: why did we choose safelite? >> vo: for us, driving around is the only way we can get our baby to sleep, so when our windshield cracked, we nded it fixed right. we went safelite.com. thers no one else we'd trust. their experts replaced r windshield, and recalibrated our car's advanced safety s

ever since the supreme court reversed roe v wade, they have taken many steps to make it harder to get abortions, surgical abortions and many more women are using abortion medication, it had become a major way to end a pregnancy. >> it's a lot for folks, let's slow it down. as you say, nothing changes today. this will likely be an appeal to the supreme court which by the way just a year ago reversed roe v wade -- as i understand it in this case, this gets to some degree the fda's ability to approve and the extent of its ability. do i have it right, this ruling accepts that the fda can -- is that right, not just doctors but also other medical nationals. >> you're exactly right, it gets to the fda's authority to de mey drugs safe and affect the and also setting various regulations for access to that drug, whether telehealth can be used, when it can be prescribed, with the lower court said is that the original 2000 approval is not changing that, it is reversing, what judge kaczmarek, the lower court had said. the 2016 rules that had taken effect -- who can describe -- prescribe it. those

two thirds of the american people didn't want roe v. wadern in two thirds do not want any abortions in the second and third pr trimester. yet the way to keep it together without energizing the pro-abortion. will: it is really interesting, how does it play politically, most people think it played a huge role in the midterms. karl rove said something fascinating when you reference a polling, two thirds of people did not want roe v. wade overturned. but two thirds of people also don't want abortions in the second and third trimester. i think his point stands. this is heavily on the shoulders that can communicate this message well. rachel: authentically it comes back to the authentic message. there was a referendum in ohio this past week which would've made it easier to pass more pro-life legislation in ohio in the pro-lifers lost on that pretty decisively. , there is no pun intended but in the water. and the left has decided, their salivating, they are saying the selection is going to be about abortion were to win back ohio and north carolina a

since the dobbs decision overturned roe v. wade where abortion or reproductive freedom amendments have been put on the ballot, americans of a voted in favor of the amendment. so, what does this mean for upcoming elections? well, i'm going to leave it to my political panel to give us some answers on that. here they, are joining me now former republican congressman carlos curbelo, he's a florida, an msnbc political analyst. the democratic status -- chuck rochelle as well. he is the co-host of the latino vote podcast. welcome to you gentlemen. okay, look, most of donald trump's base favors the reverse of roe v. wade. we'll put the numbers on the screen for some maps. some of the suburban counties in ohio that trump run in 2020, it's seen right on the map. they joined democratic areas in opposing this resolution. ohio issue one. that's represented in yellow on the 2023 map. we have seen this, you know, same pattern with referendums and kansas, and michigan. let me tell you, there's not enough democrats in kansas to have put that initia

an opposition to the over turng of roe v. wadeps including 70% of independents and one out of every three republicans. and, i mean, molly ball, abortion rights add vocates aren a roll here. there is no sign since we had a test on this in a ballot in kansas in 2022 after this was over turned. look at this number. 3 million people turned out in this oo special election. that is nearly double the number that votes in the primary in 2022. 1.6 million people. people really care about this. >> yes. so on the one hand, the evidence continues to mount in case there was any doubt that this is a pow powerfully galvanizing issue and it hits voters where they live. every human being has the opportunity to reproduce in some way so this is an issue that touches every person, every american and people clearly feel that urgency and clearly are on the generally the pro-choice side. and we see disarray on the other side. republicans not having figured out whether or how they could mount a winning argument in the other direction. on the other hand,

overturning roe v. wadethat is what democracy is. new cnn poll found 60% want pro-life politicians to leave abortion up to each state, that is what is happening across the state. i don't agree with this decision, i will not apologize for being pro-choice. we wanted to give the choice to the people, let politicians persuade people one way or the other. running away as a republican -- becoming like what, pro-abortion? voters would consider that evil, we have to fight it out state by state and should ignore voices of those who think the dobbs decision was wrongly decided, framers never would have considered it. the left understand some principles are more important than short-term and they knowing that that actually cost them elections across the country. issues likes trans rights and so forths, they don't care. they stick to their gun and try to change minds on their side and sometimes they succeed. for years, defended warren court, nixon rode those decisions to victory and pushed to impose gay marriage when v

>> yeah, we have had six ballot measures since roe v. wade was overturned and when it came to abortion sentiment. and every, single one of those instances the pro-abortion rights side one. and we're not just talking about blue states like vermont and california, we're talking about red states. we're talking about places like kansas, places like the dakotas. we have seen montana, all of this type of stuff where we have seen clear instances in which abortion has been put on the ballot and, in those particular cases, what we have seen is the pro-abortion rights side has one and another little nugget that i will drop in here is that i was looking at the polling and i was looking at the voters who voted for barack obama in 2012, and then voted for trump in 2020. those voters who are key to trump's coalition, come next year, or actually more in favor of abortion rights and against them. it's something to keep in mind. >> that's fascinating. i want to keep the conversation going. however, we are getting this new information about georgia and the pot

the roe v. wade ruling was on the books for 50 years and there is no question that american society had been ordered around the idea that women should have bodily autonomy and abortion should be legally available. two up and that really violates, if nothing else, the justices are acting in an arbitrary way for that reason. host: we have a question for you on twitter -- guest: at the end of every term, there is a lot of empirical analyses of previous supreme court rulings. they here between 60-80 cases every year. the twitter question, the premise is correct that a lot of those 60 or 80 or 80 are not the ones you read about in the term. there is a reason that those polarized cases and upping the ones that get released at the end because they are the ones that involve some of the biggest questions that have such far-reaching impact over the country. they are the ones that are most bitterly divide the court and they are the ones that do so much writing time where they pen 60 page decisions or dissents.

that has fueled an unraveling of the programs, roe v. wade, clean air and clean water act. we are now in an aero where americans think less government is more. libertarianism is going on right now. on the other hand, if biden wins, we may be living in the age of biden. trump is eating all of the media up, but trump -- but biden might be a two timer. >> what does that mean? does this 50-50 have to break? >> it is not inevitable, but because we have been so defined as red and blue states, we know which will be red and blue in the next election. it is the same handful, arizona, georgia, virginia. there are others. there will be five or six states that will determine things. the electoral college as it is now structured helps of the republican party. democrats who have population bases, california and new york may win the popular vote but do not win the presidency because of the electoral college. that creates frustration because people wonder whether democracy is broken. >> what do you think? >> i think the electoral college is here to stay for a while. you have to have a whop

a special election turned into a litmus test on abortion rights, in a post-roe v. wade america. the votes are being counted, and cnn's jeff zeleny is following it all for us right now. jeff, it is a win, it looks like, and a big one, for abortion rights advocates. >> laura, this was a fascinating summertime election that republican leaders who scheduled it had hoped it went under the radar. it did not do that. this became a full-on campaign, a full-on fight over abortion rights, democracy, and more. voters, according to our projection, our resoundingly rejecting the efforts to make it more difficult to change the states constitution. what this was was a two-step process, the election today in ohio would have raised the threshold to make it more difficult for ballot questions like the one on abortion rights in november to pass. ohioans voted no by a strong majority, at least according to three quarters of the vote that has been already counted. at this victory party here tonight, supporters have this to say to ohioans. >> ohio, we did it! we did it. [applause] >> tonight is a maj

and that overturning roe v. wade could prove fatal for the gop and untold contests to come, potentially even the race for president. the latest evidence comes out of ohio, a swing state that has been leaning red over the past few elections. republicans there scheduled an august special election, held yesterday, to vote on raising the threshold to amend the state's constitution from a simple majority to 60%. the late summer contest was intended it head off a vote on abortion this fall, specifically a measure to enshrine access to reproductive care. in theory, turnout would be low, making the initiative easier to pass, and therefore the fall vote on abortion harder to pass. the problem, voters saw through it, and turned out in droves, resoundingly rejecting the gop effort to make it harder to protect access to abortion. an outcome prominent members of the state party worried was inevitable as explained by republican state rep, jamie calendar to ali vitali on this show yesterday. >> what's the lesson for your party come

that was the whole point of roe v. wade. that's what democracy is. ew cnn poll found that 66% of those are happy with the court's decision to overturn roe. that they want pro-life politicians to leave abortion decisions up to each state. and that's what we see happening across the country. look, i don't agree with ohio's decision here. and i'm never going to apologize for being pro-life. we wanted the issue to go to the voters. take it out of the hands of unelected judges and justices and give it to the people. let the politicians persuade voters one way or another. running away from this issue as a republican, it's not going to work. becoming like what pro-abortion? well, you know, voters would consider that to be evil. so, we have to fight it state by state and we should ignore the voices of those who think the dobbs decision was wrongly decided and that abortion should be enshrined in the constitution. our framers never would have considered it. the left understands that some principles are more important than short-term election results. they know

there may think i believe was trying to overturn roe v. wade. amongst that as well i think donald trump gets too much credit for roe v. wade because he did nominate the judges and put them in place, but the real person behind all of this is mitch mcconnell. had he not taking the steps he did take, those judges would not be there. i have a question. in terms of donald trump and the so-called nightmare of securities, logistics in prison, if at my job, i do something that causes my termination, i lose my pension, i lose all of my privileges attached to that job so therefore anyone found to be indicted, convicted of something should forfeit any benefit they had and in this case, forfeit the secret service etc. for what he now currently holds. i would like to know what can be done to enact something like that. host: thank you for the call. next up in michigan, lest there is only democrats line. caller: it is kind of amazing how amazing i am. a couple of things. i want to ask a previous guest if you watch the hearings. i think that is very important. d

just to recap what you said, the background this, this started when roe v wade was overturned in the roe v wade was overturned in the summer, ohio was one of those states that moved to ban abortion at six weeks. there was news of a ten—year—old girl, a rape victim who was denied medical care in ohio, across state lines and this sparked a lawsuit which put a band to that abortion ban. you had pro—choice advocates draught this amendment to the constitution, basically looking at trying to enshrine abortion rights in the constitution. at the same time republican lawmakers which make up the state legislature in ohio, they introduced a ballot measure which is taking place today. it basically says to voters, i don't want to get too much into the weeds but it says you voters, asked them if the threshold of vote required to amend the constitution should be raised to 60% at the moment if you want to amend this constitution is a simple majority of 51%. pro—choice advocates are saying this is cynical. republicans are doing this because they look to other states and seeing that the move to enshrin

you have with reporter steve eubanks she said the irony is not lost on me that one year ago when roe v. waderturned, women from around the world and even on tour were outraged, now, a year later, people are celebrating that i'm going to be playing a major championship with an unborn child that they recognize as a life zinc. wow. her refreshingly frank comment apparently made staff at the global golf post go ballistic and the piece was pulled stunning the reporter who quit on the spot. >> i think this confirms what a lot of us have been thinking all along. if this was just a story about a golf publication not running a story we wouldn't be talking right now. i think it confirms the belief that everyone has that when it comes to christian beliefs, the media has their fingers on the scale. >> and according to that reporter, the intrepid journalist at "u.s.a. today" golf week proceeded to kill the story as well joining us now is the subject of that profile amy olson, professional golfer on the lpga. amy, did you expect this sort of reaction i loved your comment. it was awesome. >> i certainly di

last year those justices ruled on a thing called roe v. wade.hey ended it and nobody thought it was possible. i have to tell you from the republican and conservative standpoint, you have to talk about pro-life. you do not know how to talk about it. pro-lifers have a tremendous power now with that termination to do negotiated. they had none, they did not have any before that, they had no power whatsoever. they could kill babies and anytime they wanted included after what we would call birth, they could kill babies. now they have tremendous power to negotiate because they do not have roe v. wade. this moves the issue back to the states where all legal scholars felt it should be out of the federal government and back to the states. that is a big deal on both sides they felt they should be. like president ronald reagan before me, i support the three exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother, and i will say in terms of running and we have to go with your heart. you have to go with what you want but the three exceptions to me are very import

but then in a debate said, yes i support roe v. wade.throughout the delamination about democrats, they term abortions necessary legally because it preserves the life of the fetus and most of the majority of the time -- i'm sorry the life of the mother. he pointed out there is no scientific evidence that the majority of them are such in contrary to "washington post" that fact-checked saying that. but provided no evidence for that. he is essentially saying don't rely on the media. left-wing media to say oh, no, no, no this is what the democrats mean because they too citing no evidence in not being honest. >> kayleigh: you made a good point roe v. wade and up to birth, those are two different things. if they say they support one, that is a great point there. >> harris: i love, emily we want to state optimistic the local media will actually pay attention to the fact-checkers. to lay out the facts are there and then ignore them, jason. >> jason: democrats, give us a number. what is joe biden's position? what is kamala harris position question

but it certainly was one year after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, this is the latest example we've seen across the country of support for abortion rights winning out. this is the beginning of the campaign and supporters made that clear in columbus, ohio on tuesday night. >> ohio, we did it, we did it! [ cheers and applause ] tonight is a major victory for democracy in ohio. the majority still rules in ohio. and the people's power has been preserved. we did it, ohio, we did it. >> reporter: so with one campaign over, another campaign is beginning and that is for the effort for the november ballot to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution. there is no doubt between now and then certainly abortion will play a front role in the conversation here, but also in the 2024 presidential campaign as well. the outcome of this race will test the political potency for the abortion rights issue that we have seen so many examples of since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, ohio being the latest. jeff zeleny, cnn, columbus, ohio. >>> canadian ra

dime came in may of 2022 about a week after the dobbs leak, the leak of the decision reversing "roe v. wadeen advised to be taking private travel instead of commercial instead of safety concerns, and it is the first time that it has been in writing and the first time of assertion, and we are not sure if the justices are taking more private travel rather than commercial because of the security considerations. >> yes, it is interesting, because the polling has shown that popular opinion of the supreme court is near all-time lows. on the that point, joan, you had reported previously that chief justice john roberts has been trying to get the same justices on the same page with a code of ethics, and some kind of agreement to say this is okay, this is not okay, and this what we need to report, and don't need to report, and what is the status of the agreement? >> it a great question, boris, because there is so much scrutiny on the justices, and justifiable scrutiny on the justices that decide the law of the land, and the chief has wanted unanimity, and he cannot get that among his colleagues. when

party that on three key issues, even to their own voters, reproductive freedom, 8 in 10 support roe v. wade with an answer. you see post focus group saying young republicans who care about climate change were disappointed they didn't hear much of an answer. so i think the problem for the republican party, i agree, some folks had good nights and i think nikki haley did a good job trying to sound reasonable on reproductive rights and tried to make the best of the moment, but yet what a majority of the americans saw is that is the future of republican party and it is out of step with america. >> and a lot of what we heard is it the future of the republican party or is the past? is it a republican party that doesn't exist any more. >>> i'm hopeful that the fact that you see for instance in that washington post poll that someone like nikki haley has seen a lot more consideration from republican voters and getting a lot of second looks. that is a good sign. but at the same time, you have to wonder, donald trump wasn't up there on the stage, how different does this look when the field narrows if t

if you're talking about a policy prescription, you need to let the states decide, as roe v wade did,tes. 67% of the people in the country felt once roe interested wade was overturned it outlawed abortion. you want to talk about the best misinformation campaign ever, clearly people don't know enough about the topics and republicans need to do a better job talking about it, defending their position, letting the other side defend there. cheryl: another big position, this is president biden. we've just got earn the schedule for -- gotten the schedule for the week. he and the administration will be touting the anniversary of the inflation reduction act. i cover the data, inflation is going the other way. how will he paint this? >> inflation has been a stumbling block for americans. we're in a better position than the rest of the world when it comes to inflation but you're going to have the president talking about these great investments we're making in terms of infrastructure and manufacturing and making things back in america and we'll see if that message resonates. clearly there's a lit

i think the issue of roe v. wade and the dobbs decision played a role in the amount of division, but i also think people understand that you cannot lose rural america like that and then make it up in the suburbs or in urban areas, especially in lower turnout elections. the virginia governor's election is a great example of where the strategy was once again to focus on just suburban and urban voters, and rural voters voted overwhelmingly. young kim got a greater percentage than what trump did. showing up is a big part of it, but do not show up empty-handed. understand, but also listen. preach, but also try to bring people together. we will see what happens. i think any political scientists will tell you that democrats will not be a majority party, must address this political divide. host: how do you think president biden is doing reaching out to those areas? guest: jennifer, who has been tasked with leading the energy transformation has been out, willing to meet with workers, willing to have those conversations with s

think my views of all that have changed, personally for myself i guess, especially now as you said, roe v wade, and really made you think about it. whereas before i didn't put so much thought into it. and now being like: oh my gosh, that could be a real issue...it definitely did but now just more recently. >> guarin's clinic has been affectionately dubbed 'the nutcracker'. but he worries that the name might put some men off. >> which is cute but it's very deceptive. because that's not what we do. we don't crack anything here. you know instead i like to call it the 'myth cracker'. you know, the mobile vasectomy clinic is a way to crack some of those myths around vasectomies. >> the tough new abortion rules in the us are leading to a rethink about men's responsibility for contraception. a vasectomy was long seen as somehow emasculating. but attitudes are starting to change, and men are increasingly taking charge of their reproductive health. >> climate change is causing water scarcity. entire regions are drying out. but there are lots of ideas about how to address the problem. how to tackle the

. >> reporter: a year after the supreme court overturned roe v. wadehe states, ohio has emerged as the latest battleground on abortion rights in. july, supporters submitted enough signatures to put the question on the november ballot, regardless of the outcome of tonight's election. >> issue one is about protecting the ohio constitution. >> reporter: secretary of state has been a leading proponent of issue one. he dismissed critic who's say the august special election was scheduled when many ohioans may not be paying close attention to politics. >> this idea that it was going to be some sort of low-turnout election was foolish. people in ohio are well aware and they have every ample opportunity to participate. >> reporter: he has been at the center of withering criticism for his role in the special election. going into election day about 700,000 people had already voted early after a flood of dueling tv ads with outside groups pouring in several million dollars. >> we raised that bar to 60%, it protects our foundational document here in the state of oh

. >> i am the one who got rid of roe v wade. >> reporter: former president trump out with his own launch of merchandise selling mugshot t-shirts with the caption never surrender, defiant after turning himself in and quickly bonding out in his fourth indictment tied to election interference in georgia. >> what has taken place here is a travesty of justice. i did nothing wrong. >> reporter: as the gop candidates pledged to support mr. trump even if he is convicted of a crime. >> i will pardon him of any crime of which i'm able to. >> reporter: voters are determined to have their say. >> the end of his administration was un-american. >> reporter: a busy week previewing what is to come in the race for the white house. former president trump and all 18 of his codefendants have met the deadline to surrender in the georgia case. the next step will be initial court appearances that are set to begin the week of september fit. in washington, nbc news. >>> more interest rate hikes are likely on the horizon according to the chair of the federal reserve. he addressed a fed meeting in wyoming acknowle

when you look at the do you approach of the overturning of roe v. wade? two-thirds approved of it.and this is how you see it on the map. this is your suburban republicans. these are the voters that have been going back and forth on trum for some time. here's the 2020 vote and you only saw there seven counties that joe biden won, when you look at the 2023 ballot measure here on abortion rights and each one of those urban areas that biden won there was spread, more of these suburban republican-leaning counties ended up voting on the abortion rights side, be it around cleveland, columbus, toledo and even in and around dayton. guess what? we saw the same pattern in texas, and when it was about abortion rights you saw suburban counties around wichita, and the suburban counties around topeka and kansas city and those that went republican in presidential ended up voting on the abortion rights side and michigan saw the same thing again. in each of these cases, the metro area, spread, if you will, those suburban counties. they are not trump fans in general and they're certainly not fans of

eight in ten americans support roe v. wade, guns as well as climate change. with an answer. you saw a post-debate focus group saying young republicans who care about climate change were disappointed that they didn't hear much of an answer. so the problem for the republican party, i agree, nikki haley did a good job in traying to find a compromise and sound reasonable on reproductive rights and they tried to make the best of the moment and what the majority of the americans saw it's out of step with america. i think the big question is a lot of what we heard is it the future of the republican party or is it the past? is it a republican party that doesn't exist anymore? i'm hopeful that the fact that you see, for instance in woet the washington post" poll that someone like nikki haley has seen consideration of the republican voter. i think that's a good sign, but at the same time you do still have to wonder donald trump wasn't on that stage. how different does this field look? i suspect a very different conversation. >> if i can try to play an intellectual game
