today, on the 42nd anniversary of roe v. wade, the majority is launching yet another attack on women's health and constitutionally protected right to choose whether to carry a pregnancy to erm. -- to erm. most importantly, this bill will make it ritually impossible for a woman to obtain abortion services, even when paid for with purely private, nonfederal funds. through its novel tax penalty provisions departs radically from existing law, taking away women's existing health care and placing their health and lives at risk. despite the claims of its sponsors, h.r. 7 does not codify current law and it is not about the regulation of federal funds. there is no federal funding of abortion due to the hyde amendment. the affordable care act maintains that policy and law. for more than 30 years, congress has prohibited federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape incest, or to save the life of a mother. these revisions in the hyde amendment, or in appropriations bill. nothing in the affordable care act changes this. it strips the d

>> that's a great question but it's the repeal of roe v. wade in the next number of years. folks would like to repeal or overturn roe v. wade are extremely well-positioned right now. in the 113th congress, last year, the house of representatives past the so-called 20 week ban. it criminalizes abortions, all abortions at 20 weeks just nation, which is well before viability. significantly before viability. we think by build the summer around 24 weeks, and 20 for-36 weeks, and under planned parenthood v. casey, it's the point government can ban abortion. the 20 week ban passed the house and block and civic dissent is not under the control of individuals who have expressed support for a 20 week ban. there are currently 10 states less than a dozen more than a half a dozen, states around the country that the past 20 week bands. arizona is one. the ninth circuit ruled that that man was clearly unconstitutional it actually as a facial meta. facially unconstitutional to did and even have to be attacked on and apply basic because there's no set of circumstances under which a criminali

i think roe v. wade led us there, and we should be led out of roe v. wade by those who know that there is a better way that there is a better way to have a sensitivity that society really deserves to have, should have and i believe will have in the future. mr. president, i suggest the absence of a quorum. well i withdraw that request. the presiding officer: the senator from california. mrs. boxer: mr. president thank you so very much. and i heard the words of my friend and he's eloquent in his remarks. but i don't think he'd be surprised to know that i see this issue very differently. before roe v. wade was decided in the 1970's, women died. women died because they couldn't end a pregnancy even if they were raped. and there are bodies buried in america, and you don't know the cause of death because if a woman tried to end an unwanted pregnancy, sometimes as a result of rape or even incest, she'd be considered a criminal. and that's what you hear from my colleagues on the other side. let's go back to the last century. let's undo roe v. wade. and it's har

and it moves the bar back on roe v. wade. and doe v. bolten. those two infamous decisions that have resulted in 55 million unborn children and women being affected by abortion. as chris said, i was involved in authoring the pennsylvania abortion control act, but i also was involved in the medicaid funding cutoff bill that passed pennsylvania. i think that was around 1978. and we had a reporting requirement in that bill so that the abortions that were due to rape and incest had to be reported to the appropriate law enforcement or social service agencies. the year before our bill was passed into law there were some 740 abortions, medicaid-funded abortions due to so-called rape. the year after our bill was signed into law there were 38. so this shows the importance of that provision in the law, of reporting to the appropriate authorities. if you remove that provision from the law, and some people want to do that that would create a loophole for late term abortions. as i said, for the first five months a woman could have an abortion. but in the lat

. >>> the anti-abortion rally marksed 42nd anniversary of the roe v. wade decision. meanwhile on capitol hill, house lawmakers just within the last hour passed a bill to permanently ban the use of federal funds for abortion. but that's not the bill that republicans had planned to vote on today. msnbc's luke russert is covering things on capitol hill. bring us up to speed on what happened last night and what happened a short time ago as well. >> well, craig, the gop leadership was originally going to move a bill through the house they expected to pass which would have outlawed abortion after 20 weeks. they put a thing in there that said except in the case of rape or incest. however, they had a stipulation that rape or incest would have to be reported to authorities. that upset a bunch of republican women within the conference, saying that to have the language in there they have have to report to authorities was a step too far. it also was upsetting to some moderates within the conference that said, hey, look, we just took back the senate. we have all this power. why i

on the anniversary, the 42nd anniversary of roe v. wade, i stand with my colleagues in defense of innocent human life. mr. emmer: my wife and i were blessed with seven beautiful children, each with their own unique gifts. since roe v. wade, more than 56 million unborn babies have been robbed of the chance to reach their true potential. our nation's role as a defender of the rights to life in liberty erode with each innocent life that is taken. this is not a partisan issue or a judgment of others, but we must never stop defending the rights of those who cannot speak for themselves. in an era where common ground can be hard to find, i am honored to serve with the men and women dedicated to the protection of these most basic of liberties. and with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recogni sgs -- recognition? mr. conaway: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise andxtd remarks. the speapror withoutbjon the gen

more than 40 years after roe v. wade, america is becoming pro-life. [cheering and applause] the pro-life culture is growing stronger in america. our knights of columbus meris poll, this year shows that more and more americans are coming to our side. 84% of americans want significant restrictions on abortion. [cheering and applause] 84% of americans say our laws that can protect both the life of the mother and the life of her unborn child. 2/3 of americans say the nation's abortion rate is too high, and a majority of americans believe abortion is immoral. [cheering and applause] so why is america becoming more pro-life? because of your stance in defense of life. [cheering and applause] because no amount of propaganda can change or cover up the pain in women who regret their abortions feel every day, and because women who know the truth choose life. women have a right to the truth. and that's why over the past five years, the knights of columbus has been putting in over 500 ultrasound machines in crisis pregnancy counseling centers. [cheering and applau

. >> what does the landscape look like from the repeal of roe v. wade in the next two four, six years? >> that's a great question and it's the repeal of roe v. wade in the next number of years. the folks who would like to repeal or overturn roe v. wade are an extremely well-positioned right now and in a 113 congress last year the house of representatives passed the so-called 20 week ban. it criminalizes abortions, all abortions at 20 weeks gestation which is well before viability significantly before viability. we think viability somewhere around 24 weeks and 24226 weeks and under planned parenthood -- planned parenthood bee casey is the point and what should the government can ban abortion. a 20 week ban passed the house and was blocked in the senate. the senate is now under the control of individuals who have expressed support for a 20 week ban. there are currently 10 states less than a dozen more states around the country that have passed 20 week bands. arizona is one. the ninth circuit ruled that ban was clearly unconstitutional. actually as a facia

that's what the constitution is all about. >> let me ask you about this roe v wade point. justice ginsberg said it went too far too fast legalizing abortion across the board instead of letting it play out state by state. some say the same thing about same-sex marriage. it could hurt. justice ginsberg is suggesting pro life forces will mobilize and motivated by roe v wade. >> in 1967 the supreme court struck down laws prohibiting interracial marriages, striking down the laws in 16 states. today we don't even understand that we could possibly have prohibited marriage between people of different races. the president's mother and father couldn't have been married in virginia, they would have been guilty of a felony. overwhelmingly now young people particularly support the right of individuals to get married to the person that they love. the american people now are 55 to 60% in support of same-sex marriage. people recognize that this is an important right, it hurts gay and lesbian people to discriminate against them and it does no harm to hetereosexual people. >> tony, i'm sure

this the 42nd anniversary of the supreme court's decision that legalized abortion in this country roe v. wadenon bream joins us. >> thousands are marching through the streets of washington towards the supreme court as they do on the anniversary of every year. roe versus wade 42 legalized abortion. house gop leaders hope they could memorialize bypassing a ban on most abortions after 20 weeks. there were some exceptions written in. but it fell apart. some members balked. some expressed about the rape exception reporting requirement would actually require women to report that they had been raped in order to get an abortion. others worried passing that bill as one of the first priorities would send the wrong message. house leaders are pledging they are going to bring that bill back for a vote at some point but senate democrats say if they pass it there we'll do everything we can to block it here. we'll have to see. they are confident the president would veto it as well. the house did vote today on another measure aimed at cutting off any federal money flowing to abortion. the administration sent

but what they could not say is and when i take judicial office if roe v. wade before me i'm going to strike it down. in other words, that's promising how you're going to exercise your judicial power in the future. i thought that kind of promise, even though a legislator could make it or an executive officer somebody running pour executive office, could take ma promise. someone running for judge has two roles. the other role is to decide cases based on the law and the facts at the time of the decision is to be made. not promising how we're going to do it in the future. justice kennedy took me to task in oral argument over even suggesting there could be that limit on judicial candidates' speech. he then wrote a concurrence to explain that would be unconstitutional. that limit itself would be unconstitutional. in this case i do think that consistent with the application of other laws to campaign activity that there could be limits on judicial candidates. we said in our brief, and you added me on this, justice shepard -- >> you stand on this alone. i congratulate y

they started organizing right after the roe v. wade decision the first march of life. 42 years later next week we will have another march for life and when you look at this you will see several hundred thousand people marching in the vast majority of them will be millennials. that is how it's been more or less since the beginning. what's amazing right now is when you look at the public opinion polling on abortion my generation is more pro-life than my parents generation so there's no reason why the same thing can happen on marriage. my generation never has had to think through critically what marriage is. we have largely live in a culture that has made a mess of marriage so we came of age after the sexual revolution and after no-fault divorce where the majority of our contemporaries are born outside of marriage. it's not surprising that we are confused about what marriages but that's no reason to give up on it. serious work can be done making the case for what marriage is and why it matters and why we ought not to redefine it in mind t

the vote coincides with the anniversary of the landmark roe v. wadecision which is being commemorated by rallies around the country. >>> a top health issue in california is issues new guidelines on the meis ls at disney land. since december there have been 59 cases of measles across the state. 42 of them linked to the disney properties. >>> wlets take a look at how what street is doing. the dow, nasdaq and s&p all opened hire only to start falling. now they're back up again. who knows what the day will bring. maybe alison kosik willdoes. >> the big talk is the layoffs we've seen happen. many people think it's really coming in waves where it's stully not. oftentimes because it's earning season you see these companies, when they report their earnings they go ahead. if there are going to be layoffs, they'll announce them. we have a bunch of companies announcing the lay-offs. ebay laying off 2400 workers, about 7% of its workforce. american express getting rid of 4,000 jobs 6% of their staff. baker hughes letting go of 7,000 positions, 11% of their staff.

this, of course, the 42nd anniversary of roe v. wade. back with the panel.ot issue. quinnipiac poll just end of november a ban after 20 weeks except in cases of rape or incest. >> i'm starting to wonder if the g.o.p. leadership can count. why raise the expectation of pro-lifers if you don't have the votes. this was an unforced error. there is communication issues here. a majority of americans yes support abortion the first trimester, that drops significantly in the second semester, something like more than 70% of americans#ojq iuá ban abortions in the second semester. so the g.o.p. needs to do a better job of communicating this message and that includes members that may be a little skiddish because they are from more moderate districts and so forth. there is is a messaging problem here too. there is a open question as to whether this was the right time to do it. but i still think it was unforced error on the part of the leadership. >> second trimester. the issue they finally passed something that matches the hyde amendment which bands federal funding on abor

they were marking the 42nd anniversary of the roe v. waden. >>> some bright smiles on wall street today. all the major indices were up today by about a percent and a half. the big gains came after europe's central bank offered an aggressive plan to revive the region's weak economy. fewer americans filed for unemployment last week but the number is still northern 300,000 for the third straight week. it's unclear if this is a sign the job market is getting worse or a reflection of part-time holiday workers going back on unemployment. >>> coming up, they needed a tow truck not to bail out a driver but to rescue an animal. vets spent hours getting this cow out of a northern california mine shaft. >> and one marathon is tough enough. this guy is trying to run 7, one after the other. how close he huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know you that former pro football player ickey woods will celebrate almost anything? unh-uh. number 44... whoooo! forty-four, that's me! get

they try to do pass an abortion bill on the anniversary of roe v wade this is the epitome of a tone-deaf leadership in congress. you snow, the republicans have demonstrated time and time again they don't understand what the priorities are. they said the election if it was a reprimand on the president or on a democratically-led senate they haven't even realized voters want them to work with the administration to move legislation and policy forward that makes sense for this country, and obviously that's not what they're doing. >> dana you covered the couple of stumbles very closely in washington. i mean is that all this is is a couple of stumbles? >> this is the sort of stumble where you slip on a banana peel and slide down the whole banquet table and crash head first into the wedding cake. that's the kind of stumble this has been. just this week the house republicans had to pull their own border security bill because conservatives objected to it. last week they had to pull the abortion bill because women in their conference objected to it. the keystone thing has bottled up in the senate b
