but further, it is important to recognize that roe v. wade saved lives. prior to roe v. wade they were tens of thousands of people who died as they were attempting to terminate pregnancies and were subjected to the most inhumane types of circumstances. as the legal professional on this panel, let me be clear about something else. it has been mentioned that roe v. wade was an unfortunate decision in how it was reasoned. and it strikes me for its grave outlook, overlook of the cases that we really should be concerned about. where there is deny liberty, humanity, and so much more. just like dred scott, like plessy vs. ferguson, like june vs. russo, or burn versus illinois which denied women the opportunity to become. lawyers now these are cases that should be a part of the lexicon when we are thinking about a quality denied to vulnerable people. when you talk about, senator blumenthal, the legacy of privacy being ensconced in our supreme court jurisprudence, let us add to that ross well, let's add to that loving the virginia, for which a case provided for interracial unions

the now ultraconservative supreme court is set to review a mississippi law intended to challenge roe v. wadeld ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. if roe v. wade does not survive, can reproductive rights can be preserved without it? for more, we are joined by the co-authors of a new book that addresses this question. just out today, it is titled "controlling women: what we must do now to save reproductive freedom." in philadelphia, kathryn kolbert is a longtime public interest attorney who argued the landmark case of planned parenthood v. casey before the supreme court in 1992, which is credited with saving roe v. wade. and in new york, julie kay is a human rights attorney who has argued for abortion rights internationally, including before the european court of human rights in a, b and c vs. ireland, which prompted the liberalization of ireland's abortion law. we welcome you both to democracy now! kitty kolbert, let's begin with you. we have a democratic president, democrats control the senate and the house. get president biden has not said the word "abortion" since becoming president

lower courts struck it down because they said look at roe v. wade. appointee in the lower court said, look, my hands are tied here. that's why mississippi asked the court this big step to overturn roe v. wade. all eyes are going to be on the conservative justices. think of chief justice john roberts just back in 2020. he sided with the liberals to block the louisiana law, but he did leave some room for restrictions. and on the other end of the spectrum you've got justice clarence thomas. he wants and has said for years that he thinks roe v. wade should be overturned. that leaves the liberals, justice steven breyer who is under some pressure to retire. he's going to be working with the other two liberals, trying to preserve roe as much as possible, trying to contain the damage, poppy, from his perspective. >> yeah, i mean, it is fascinating and significantly important. what i do want to talk a little about, arianne, is most notable the decision by the high court comes nearly eight months to the day of justice ginsburg's death. and it was justice ginsb

in the case of dogs versus jackson women's health organization, which is the first cased since roe v. wade to present the constitutionality of a pre-viability restriction and abortion man. that case could completely up and and reverse roe v. wade. but reproductive rights that many americans take for granted have been under siege for years and years as a result of the repeated and relentless attacks of laws at the state level. and that's the reason that i have led the women's health protection act along with my colleague senator baldwin and our colleague in the house representative to. the numbers of state restrictions are so numerous that they can barely be counted. since january, legislators in 47 states have introduced 561 abortion restrictions, including 165 abortion bans. and alarming 83 of those restrictions have been enacted into law, including ten bands. several states, including texas have passed bans on abortion at six to eight weeks of pregnancy before many people even know they are pregnant. and in arkansas and alabama, lawmakers have tried to outlaw abortion completely. at this

this is the first case since roe v. wade to present the constitutionality of a pre-viability restriction and abortion ban. that case could completely up and and reverse roe v. wade. but the reproductive rights that any americans take for granted have been under siege for years and years as a result of the repeated and relentless attack of laws at the state level. that is the reason i have let the women's health protection act along with my colleague, senator baldwin and r. kelly in house, representative -- rivers additive to -- senator baldwin and our colleagues in the house. this has included 155 abortion bans. an alarming 86 of those restrictions have been enacted into law including 10 bans. several states including texas have passed bans on abortion at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy before many people even know they are pregnant. lawmakers have tried to outlaw abortion completely. at this rate, 2021, this year is on track to have the most antiabortion restriction from state legislators in decades. i want to emphasize that these a

they have been trying overturn roe v. wademe legal in 1973 and now thanks to mitch mcconnell and trump, they may finally get their chance. despite the fact that a majority of americans support abortion rights. in a filing yesterday, the state of mississippi asked the court to overturn e v. wade and they wrote that the case to overturn it is overwhelming, the conclusion that abortion is a constitutional right is no basis in history or tradition, now the court will hear the case in the fall. but mississippi is far from the only state where republicans are trying take away a woman's right to choose. this year alone, 97 abortion restrictions are have been enacted in 19 states and ten states have laws banning all or nearly all abortions. those laws would be triggered if roe v. wade is overturned. joining me now, alexis johnson, president and ceo of planned parenthood of america. ladies, i'm happy to have you here. you know, i will start with you, alexis, i don't think that people understand that you are not going to force a woman t

last year mississippi said its appeal would not require the court to overturn roe v. wade. that case made abortion legal in the united states. but this week the state attorney general reversed course, arguing roe should indeed be overturned. joining us now to discuss the politics at play, msnbc legal analyst melissa murray. she was a former law clerk to justice sonia sotomayor and nick ra thad. how could this case potentially alter reproductive rights in the united states? >> mississippi has offered the court two different paths for dismantling reproductive rights, which is where the fetus can be outside the womb. you can regulate post-viability. mississippi asked the court to do away with that. the more maximalist approach that mississippi offered to the court is to completely overrule its existing precedence, roe recovery, and planned parenthood versus casey. >> melissa, the decision could come next summer months before the 2022 midterms. how do the justices consider the political atmosphere, the political ramifications in that case like this? >> i think it's hard for them

casey the supreme court upheld roe v. wadeto have an abortion up until the point of viability of the fetus, meaning when the fetus can live outside the womb and a state cannot impinge on that right the woman has before the viability point of the fetus. i'm not a doctor, people much smarter say viability happens towards the end of the second trimester. the state doesn't get involved according to the law now. what mississippi did was put in place a near total ban on abortion after 15 weeks. the point of viability. so if mississippi were to win here it would be allowing states to impose regulations on what we understand currently to be the woman's right to elect to have an abortion before that point of viability so other states could be well within their rights to impose similar laws or perhaps even stricter ones. >> just as you are not a doctor, i am not an attorney, so i want to you break down the legal argument they are making. it's my understanding their argument has evolved since it was first filed. how and why has it evolve

there's no support in the constitution for the original decision in roe v wade. eem to be in keeping with the recent style, which is to do everything incrementally. this would be a huge step. but of course, the challenge for mississippi is how do you allow a state to ban before viability if those decisions on the books say you can't do it. how do you fit that square peg into the round hole has always been the real problem for the state. so this is a bold move by mississippi, acknowledging basically what was always lurking in this case. >> always lurking and now it is here. pete williams, thank you. leave it there. >>> coming up, after an historic night for sports with all women broadcast team, what now? and how do we make sure it is not just a one off. alana rizzo is one of the journalists and joins us next. n jonaurlists and joins us next. ♪ ♪ when technology is easier to use... ♪ barriers don't stand a chance. ♪ that's why we'll stop at nothing to deliver our technology as-a-service. ♪ i'm so glad you're ok, sgt. houston. this is sam with usaa. do you see the to

fact that increasingly these abduction narratives focus on reproductive experimentation after the roe v. wade decision a nd especially in -- roe v. wade decision in the 1970's and especially in line with the culture wars over abortion in the 1980's. >> do you think there is a separation between people who look into this as an interest versus the issue of how it relates to religion, and the fact that it almost has a basis in science? that extraterrestrials are here to study us, they are not here to, i don't know, save us or take us back to their planet, but in this case they are here to study reproductive systems of humans or take over your brain. to me, it seems like the opposite side of religion. people who look at this can say there is a basis of scientific evidence, maybe not evidence, but theory behind it. felix harcourt: that there is a rational motive behind why? >> instead of just an angel flying through the air, it is a machine made by beings who have the intelligence to make a machine are coming with a motive to learn about humans. felix harcourt: certainly. although you could make a

the roe v. wade decision has now resulted in the tragic deaths of over 62.5 million unborn children. currently, it's estimated that as many as 2,500 unborn american lives are ended every day through abortion. when this body first enacted the hyde amendment in 1976 through funding what was then the health, education, and welfare agency, the vote was an overwhelming bipartisan 312-93. and even prior to that final enactment, nearly half of democrats in the house voted for the amendment when it was first considered. this began a 40-year agreement on both sides of the aisle that americans opposed to abortion should not be forced to violate their conscience and religious liberty by subsidizing abortions through their tax dollars. the principle that no citizen should be forced to pay for these services that contraconvenient their strongly held beliefs have stood the test of time. and it is one this body should protect and highly regard. but most importantly, this simple budget rider has saved more human liv

and even if you were to strike it and put it back to 24 weeks, as in the amicus brief in roe v. wadeld still apply and could have a chilling effect. how high are the stakes? >> so the chilling effect is profound. we have staff at our clinics already hearing from patients who are in the clinic, made an appointment, there for counseling and ultrasound and asking already if abortion is legal. staff are feeling surveiled, scared. these are people who were on the front lines as essential workers providing access to abortion care services for the last year and a half. and right when they start to come out of the pandemic there's this kind of restriction that's put forward that's not in the interest of health and safety. it's simply politics. it's extreme. the vast majority of texans don't support this kind of regulation. it's really asking texans to meddle in each other's private lives, asking people to tattle on each other in ways that is just not in the spirit of what we believe in in texas. >> what are legal experts telling you about the survivability about the statute? >> so everybody

there's someone who went to school with amy coney barrett and knows for sure she will overturn roe v. wadeill kill it and get rid of it. what is the plan? >> look, we are going to fight as hard as we can with all of our partners, with all of our state partners to make sure that we are -- that we have a provider response. we know in many states roe is gone. they have continued with the number of restrictions we've seen just this year, over 600, to strip away access. put in these waiting periods, continue to shame and stigmatize people who are providing abortions and patients themselves. we've seen it during covid. we know what the world looks like without roe. what's dangerous about this particular case is that if we are not able to block sb-8 in texas, if we are not able to block what should be a regular unconstitutional ban, every six-week ban has been blocked, it means that 26 states are poised to follow in a copycat manner this same strategy. so that is why we felt it was so important with our partners at center for reproductive rights, at clu and women's health to come in and say we ha
