roe v. wade decision will likely be discussed in confirmation hearings for brent cobb and he -- brett kavanaugh. with davidscussion savage on the judge kavanaugh nomination. in 1982, you wrote justice kennedy's opinion had affirmed the right to an abortion "probably for all time." how does that statement hold up today? mr. savage: what i remember about 1982, when they decided that case in late june, it was the most surprising decision i had seen in the 30 years i was doing it. because in the spring of 1992, it looked like there were 5, 6, maybe seven votes to cut back on the right to abortion or overturn roe v. wade. that seemed to be where we were heading. i spent the summer talking to the justices. i remember sitting and talking to justice scalia, and he was steamed up about what happened. i wrote a long story in the fall , sort of reconstructing what had happened inside the courtroom and that is where that quote must have come from, because i remember i was trying to explain to the editors, th

>> at this point, how have groups opposed to abortion tried to overturn roe v wade? david: there is then and now. in the last 25 years, they have tried regulations. they know they can't go to the court and say, overturn roe, allow our state to make abortion and crime across the board. there have been restrictions on how clinics operate. there has been a lot of litigation on that. they say, you have to the amount patient -- to be an outpatient surgical center. or they will say you have to have doctors on your stuff who have-- your staff who admitting privileges at your local hospital. a lot of hospitals don't want doctors who practice abortion because it isn't a popular thing. that has shut down clinics. it is also on the margin. it is about regulation. the reason it is different now, where you have justices there -- five justices that are antiabortion, then you could sexly see no abortion for selection or down syndrome. i think much bigger restrictions will be coming to the court now than in the last 10 or 15 years. >> let's look at what the chair of the senate judici

it was a real worry then that roe v. wade was in jeopardy. she is one of those that preserved it. in the versus planned parenthood case, 12 years later as she got on the court. yet, roe v. wade is still the law of the land. justices have a way of surprising us. justice kennedy now leaving the court was one of those. even though we didn't pursue this in depth at his hearing, those of us that are pro-life, i am one of them, were pretty assured that kennedy might be one of those votes to override roe v. wade. in 1992, in the kc versus planned parenthood case, kennedy was one of the majority of the harmnot to do any whatsoever to roe v. wade. there is no way to predict how a justice will rule on a particular case. many times, this senator has been disappointed by what he ifught a judge might do approved. >> the best evidence that judge kavanagh would overturn roe is the extreme anti-groups voted the likelihood to do exactly that. want to address a few aspects of judge kavanagh's records that expose how unqualified he is to make decisions that will impact women from all backgrounds for

thatt you to understand you cannot count me as absolutely overturning roe v. wade. he did not venture any of that. leaving, it would seem to me, a president with the impression that his standard was being met. a specialnaugh has obligation to make his views on this topic clear given the president's litmus test that he would only appoint judges who would overturn roe. on that obligation, judge kavanaugh failed spectacularly. he would not give me any reassurance that he believed roe or casey were correctly decided or should be left alone. and we explicitly discussed the litmus test. i asked him if he met with the president, as i said, did he make an attempt to disabuse the president of the notion he would overturn these cases and he referred -- and refused to overturn -- and he refused to answer. i repeatedly asked them to reassure me that he believes the if care act is constitutional. he refused to do so. rights,reproductive it's not good enough for this justice to say, this potential just as, hope he doesn't get there, but this judge to say well, he will follow exis

isould add that roe in kc.led the original opinion in roe v. wade has been superseded by the opinion for planned parenthood versus casey in 1992. a completely new rationale. roe is completely unsettled. the justice could revisit roe v. wade. they will not do so in the short term, in any case. perhaps the caller was also eluting to the fact that, by the time of the next presidential enough duration, for justices will be on the verge. the next president may affect the future of the supreme court for justices will be 18 years old or on the verge of 80. so the next president may affect or80 years old on the verge of 80. the next president may affect the future of the supreme court for the next quarter century. melissa: it is an overstatement to say roe is to prompt. it affirmed the essence. the basic core of roe survive kc, even as other aspects of abortion come out. host: the court ruled 7-2. i want to ask you how we got to that vote, but let's listen to keith in minnesota. hello, keith. caller: there has been talks in all the discussions about the rig

the court overhauled roe v. wade. they abandoned the original abandoned and they the trimester and turned it into a by master, -- bimester, meaning before viability there are certain standards and after. but there is no trimester. >> next is a call from palo alto, california. welcome. caller: i am really interested showed the first clip the context of being feminist to civil rights introduction the abortion-rights discussion. forwarddering if going fairlye would be more considered on civil rights terms rather than where it seems to be laws and soms of forth if the woman and her doctor being asserted as the people having the -- the just standing might be compared to a man and his doctor having the right to make equally momentous , if the guests might comment on abortion-rights as civil rights. >> i think you have presaged a line of argument that justice ruth bader ginsburg offered in the 1980's law review article. she famously criticized roe v. wade's reliance on the privacy doctrine and said the decision would have be

caller: is roe v. wade established law or is there any case that could come through the court, lower court system, that could overturn roe v. wade? one of the issues in the current presidential campaign is if you vote for candidate x or candidate y, the supreme court might be changed by voting for that particular person who might appoint certain justices. so, is it established? is it safe or is there a case coming through that might overturn it? host: melissa murray? melissa: it is established law. is it safe is a different question. you could have a decision that completely overrules roe v. wade and we've certainly seen the court overruled the opinions they believe are incorrectly decided in recent years but i think the more likely thing to happen that might endanger roe's legacy would be an intermittent chipping away of the decision which i think we have seen over time. i think the idea of a complete over rolling might be more remote, but the idea that there might be incremental restrictions on the force

a trump nominee would probably oppose it. - well, roe v. waded scott decision of 20th century. i think you're gonna see that overturned. - we have a chance to take down roe v. wade. this is a historic moment in the pro-life community today. - that's right, after justice kenney is replaced, there's a good chance that many states will make abortion illegal. and for many evangelicals, that has been the holy grail. right? it's why many "christians" have supported to continue donald trump, even though he sins so much that people cast him out of demons. it's like, "begone, trump!" "oh, oh, thank you. i felt so gross. "oh. oh. i mean, your own daughter? oh, wow." oh, and you might-- you might be really sad that women will be losing some of their fundamental rights. but the media is licking its lips. - on capitol hill, the battle lines drawn. a huge battle in washington over replace supreme court justice anthony kennedy. - this will be a battle all summer, all fall. - it will be one of the most contentious political battles in decades. - okay, i'm sorry

roe v. wade is getting attacked. legislature, pushing through very dangerous laws. t thus far has in many cases stopped. but the u.s. supreme court tears down roe v wade, and it appears to me that kavanaugh is the type of justice that stops that process. how far back are we going to go? all of my sisters and all of the men who love women, we need access to birth control. how far is this going to go. >> this country, and a lot of women elected a president who said he was going to criminalize abortion. this president went much farther that than. >> and the question you asked before was, is this going to be the case, is it going to happen. in the last election, i think there was a lot of feeling like oh, he is just saying these things. now we know from 18 months of being in office, he believes everything he has said. he is moving forward on all of these promises that we thought maybe were just outrageous statements to engage the base. now women across the country know what the truth is and so do men and this is really going to be, you know, it already has been motivatin

anti- status libertarianism in the 70s and with that evangelical thrusts that is politicized with roe v wade that it originates out of dallas texas so you have two sunbelt states that our heart of that in 1973. and then mixed with decisions on school prayer, tax-exempt status with those schools in the sunbelt and with this phenomenon of white flight adding to suburban development in the sunbelt i would see the development of the 70s of a religious mobilization that without moral majority in the broader christian right through 76 and the first politician to embrace the label of born-again christian with the year of the evangelical so now through 80 to attract what they see as a new demographic with the new evangelical vote to bring in the anti-communist catholics into more of a reagan democrat to have opportunity to make that political landscape with disaffected union workers, with the first industrial economy and that is a lack of labor unions in the sunbelt. it's not so much about major moments although you could point to a few leg appointed to the governorship. but there are the to see the

because of the nomination of judge kavanagh, soon to be just as another hysteria we've heard about, roe v. wade. lincoln said that the nation half slave and half free, but if roe v. wade were overturned, is there a way states would sort this out? some federal level and at the state level. >> yes. i think in all likelihood that i wasn't sure i would ever see, which is that in the legislatures and the people have to make some tough decisions rather than handing it off to nine letters in the supreme court seen you do it. that will be a very healthy thing for our country and democracy. there will be plenty of republicans who will be powers of jell-o on this event fundraising for decades about overturning roe v. wade. when the opportunity presents itself, they may get cold feet and it would be very unpopular. it's going to be an interesting fight and states will differ and i think that is what the founders intended and i think it will be as i say very welcome bit of cleansing.

our history, it's about watergate, the watergate burglar trial and it's about the back story of roe v. wade. i talked to lewis law clerk who helped him write or help write the court's opinion on roe v. wade and gave me the whole back story and was released by the whole justice, by his justice to write about what his justice had talked to him about and turns out powell was very involved in putting the viability standard into roe, so that, this book is all about of the events happening at once, to tell you how extraordinary that book is on the day that henry kissinger goes to fly back to end the war for us, the peace accords, two hours later justice blackman reads the opinion in roe v. wade and 3 hours later lyndon johnson drops dead in texas. it's really this, you know, this thing that i love about history, so that's that book. so this book, ballots or bullets, again, i didn't go looking for this. the reason i wrote it and there's a picture of me with john dean. the woman all the way to your left, diane, secretary of a law firm that i work in cleveland, the guy in the middle is her father an

it's a renewal of the family values politicized after roe v. wade 1973 which is a case that originates out of texas and there is an accompanying case without also that is out of georgia. the case in 1973 the supreme court to sanction of abortion after 1973 mixed with decisions on school prayer, tax-exempt status which many have developed after brown v. board of education and then you have the flight that adds to the development in the sunbelt. i would say that the developments in the 70s of the religious will be a part of the majority and the christian right which has been written about her 76 win over georgia first politician to embrace the label becomes the year of the so-called evangelical now all of a sudden 76 and 80 they attract a new evangelical vote is also bringing in anti-communist catholics out of this column into a reagan democrat and an opportunity for the party using evangelicals with traditional voters and other parts of the country urban catholics for disaffected union workers were struggling in the world of the post industrial econo

the next decision that comes to the supreme court, that he is the voice on that court to overturn roe v. wades take the president at his word. he says he intends to appoint somebody who will overturn roe v. wade. that is exactly who judge kavanaugh is. so we have to fight against him.
