framework and republicans really only had to point to roe v. wadend say that this is what we oppose they were under pressure to come up with their own abortion laws or policies because they were hemmed in by roe v. wade, now that that's gone democrats are not being forced to talk about mini support abortion up to the final month of pregnancy which is not supported publicly by the vast majority of americans and it's now on republicans to lay out restrictions and in the having to do a lot of discussions i have ever done in years. >> you agree dobbs is one of the biggest stories what the republicans need to do to stop this issue been a potentially significant label for them. >> sarah put her finger on it one of the most important things talking about the fact that so many of the democrats who like to make a political issue out of this do support abortion to the point of birth which is far out of the mainstream of normal americans. i think it's interesting judicial speaking the dobbs decision overturned one of the most extraordinary overreaches by the s

five years before roe v. wade, dr. king stated, the art of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. the 72 decision row, suggested that women's equality and reproductive freedoms, were within reach. with roe, cain greater access to contraception, and to success acacia, and a dramatic decline in -- mortality. and for nearly 50 years, roasted as precip and for the right to reproductive privacy. however, today, as we gather, roughly 120 days, post dobbs v. jackson women's health, which overturned roe, and planned parenthood, we gather at a time in which many women are fearful about their health care rights. notably, their concerns, and this convening, extend me on abortion. women are worried about reproductive health care, for menstruation, two men in pause, and tragically to maternal mortality. these are matters that -- for this reason, we could not be prouder to welcome charles johnson, dr. sharon malone, mark joseph stern, tara murtha, jennifer weiss-wold, and our own visiting professor, michelle goodwi

roe v. wade itself was a seven-to opinion. five of those seven justices were republican appointed. 30 years before roe v. wade, in another case, it was 9-0. the supreme court used the language of human rights and civil-rights rights to describe individual autonomy, privacy and dignity, in being able to determine their own reproductive future. that was a case involving a man. he was seeking to -- when the state was trying to interfere with his reproductive destiny. but it is worth noting the author of that decision, justice douglas, was also the other of bridge v. connecticut, striking down a connecticut law that prohibited contraception for married couples. the reason why that ends up being significant for a law, is i think it exposes the insincerity -- really, the lie of the supreme court that there had not been rooted a respect for the kind of outcome that we saw in roe v. wade. mark, even more to your point, in looking at where the justices sought to land their originalism, skipping around history, what is notable is they ne

people don't want to be abolished two thirds of the american people wanted to overturn roe v wade butn the other hand more than two thirds of the american people and 75 percent in the third trimester so limitations on abortion with a certain number of exceptions for rape and incest and that's what word largely support that in many parts of the nation. paul: a great biting come back. >> i feel it. and giving a jolt of momentum real clear politics have reaching the job approval bring it 43.4 percent this morning a one.3 percent increase i feel it every moment of the day. >> so look at what has happened before the election the democrats were mumbling this is why he can't run we will lose and then governor newsom bows out he won't run against biden and biden in the white house talking about they will announce it in the new year so does not salvage his presidency? >> it scared off some early contenders but i have to give compliments this is beautifully done. strong support for the agenda has brought him support. remember ohio strong support for the agenda amend mike the wine got reelected

the laws like roe v wade? i do think there has been a lot of progress and, again, the way that women have beenjust, like, absolutely towering over everyone in this industry right now is so exciting to me and itjust makes me feel really, really hopeful and inspired. and it's not only women doing one thing, it's women doing all kinds of different things and looking different and acting different and having different styles and different... just, like, ijust love it so much. there's such a range right now and it's so nice to see and it's just so... it's just refreshing. i don't know. it's new. it's never been like that and it's just really... ..it's exciting and it's really cool to be a part of it, so... so, you're hopeful? i'm hopeful — very hopeful. thank you so much for giving us so much of your time. yeah! of course! i really appreciate it. # i don't relate to you. # i don't relate to you, no. # cos i'd never treat me this... # you made me hate this city. # and i don't talk about you on the internet. # never

when roe v wade was overturned, at the time one of the supreme courtjustices the supreme court justicestices clarence thomas who was in favour of roe v wade being overturned basically said in his concurring opinion that other privacy based rights such as same sex marriage could be reconsidered and so that caused democrats to move swiftly to try to codify same sex marriage and so now they have done it and so now they have done it and the important thing to note here is that it got bipartisan support, it got majority support, it got majority support in the house and the senate by both parties and that is really important, it is really significant because it shows just how much views have changed culturally on an issue such as same—sex marriage which was 0nce such as same—sex marriage which was once upon a time really, really contentious. the other thing to point out here is that this is likely going to be the last significant legislative accomplishment that the house democrats make before the house republicans take over next year. at last month's cop27 climate summit in egypt, activists a

that the justices scalia, thomas, and alito needed any converting or backing up of their views of roe v. wade it was wrongly decided and needed to be overturned. just as thomas had already voted to overturn roe, casey in 1892, justice alito, when he was at the department of justice in 1985, the constitution, quote, does not protect the right to an abortion. years before this operation began, mr. schenck preyed on the goodwill of well-intentioned people who -- this entire brought it was a grift and had zero impact on his justices or any justice in their vote or opinions. today's hearing concerns mr. schenck's dubious claim that june 2014, during a dinner at the home, justice alito or his wife disclosed to two of the donors the result of the hubbell ave decision three weeks before it was issued. of course, mr. schenck was not at the dinner, but claims he was told by one of the donors that participated in the next day. -- denies that they ever disclose this information. justice alito also denies that he or his wife disclosed this information. mr. schenck manipulates vague emails to spin a tale.

the supreme court set half of america back a second class citizens after 49 years of precedent in roe v. wadee and constitutional underpinnings that led to roe v. wade are strikingly similar to the ones that underlay the loving versus agenda in virginia case declaring that states could not ban interracial marriage, and the other decision saying states could not bar same sex marriage. so peter people were worried, very frightened at the marriages that they rely on might not be considered valid in the future. and then the supreme, one justice, clarence thomas, went a step further, an issue basically an invitation to litigators to take on a case, asked the supreme court to review the law. the respect for marriage act will set those worries, those fears at ease. >> senator warnock was not present today. he was campaigning for reelection in georgia. so there were 99 votes cast instead of the hundred. what does it mean for the democrats in the senate to have 50 senators or 51 if senator warnock wins his reelection campaign? >> rather than a 50/50 majority, where you can only prevail on legislation

since the roe v. wade decision, the church understood what the bible said, that we are made in the image of holy god. people came informed and they understood and they voted liberal goal -- biblical values. ultimately, presidents were elected who appointed supreme court justices, who now issued a decree that the roe v. wade decision after 50 years would be overturned. so now that decision goes to the 50 states. now it is no longer roe v. wade in the nation.

yamiche: another big story is the fact that in june the supreme court overturned roe v. wade.ce then a number of states have moved to restrict or outright ban abortion. the ruling reversed nearly 50 years of precedent and it was met with delight from conservatives but also triggered a backlash among many critics and it was in some ways a top thing on voters' minds when you think about the election results and the exit polls we saw. you talked about it's not only thinking about pundits and political consultants but abortion was something i heard over and over as an editor. tell me what you wereelling your reporters to try to capture what this abortion ruling was going to mean politically. vanessa: again, there was no one size fits all and sometimes when you're doing national political coverage, it's hard to see that different states, different regions approached it differently. one of the more interesting stories we did was howe people who did still very much believe in -- believe what the supreme court did was fair bolstered some candidates and while people who were opposed to

but obviously the reversal of roe v. wade has opened up some eyes. people no longer know what to expect. >> how big a victory is this for the lgbtq community? >> oh, i think it's huge. i mean not only -- even though it doesn't change anything today since the community had the right to marry even under supreme court precedent, the fact that a bipartisan majority of congress, both houses, was willing to pass legislation protecting same-sex marriage is unheard of. it is the biggest legislative victory, i think, that the community has ever had. >> professor, final question for you. will more states now, based on what happened today, might change their policy and allow same-sex marriages? >> i don't know. it's very hard to predict that because the reality is there's so much variation across this country on that issue. at least for now, they have a constitutional obligation under obergefell to recognize same-sex marriage. they don't have a choice. if the supreme court changes its mind and reverses that case, then we'll see what states do. i'm confident som

draft, i came immediately to the conclusion that if you can make these arguments for overturning roe v. waded to overturn the supreme court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage and then lo and behold, the dobbs decision comes out in june, overturned roe. justice thomas signs on to the majority opinion and then in his concurring opinion says, by the way, we should look at several of these supreme court precedents that relied on the rationale for roe, among those being same-sex marriage. that's why there was so much consternation and fear that as a result of overturning roe v. wade and a supreme court justice saying we should look at, review, reconsider and on top of that a justice who is part of a 6-3 conservative super majority on the court, there were a lot of people, thank goodness, in congress who said, you know what? we need to codify same-sex marriage and interracial marriage. as someone in both, i am very happy that congress moved to legalize as a matter of federal law, not just supreme court precedent, same-sex marriage and interracial marriages as a result of the vote today. >> do

how did you both feel when you heard that roe v wade was overturned in the us? i was happy. — it's very common that whatever happens in the united states reflects to what happens in honduras. that is a step forward for all the pro—life organisations that are out there, and i think that this will definitely make them stronger and will make them step ahead. generation celeste say that they represent the majority of hondurans. but there are many people who want to see the morning—after pill legalised. we heard about a guerrilla protest — about 50 young women and men, including 19—year—old ana, who are heading out in the middle of the night to cover downtown in posters directed to the country's health minister, the man they say can legalise the morning—after pill. why have you chosen this street to put posters up? this man? we're out here in the middle of the night. it's past midnight. are you worried that you'll get in trouble for this? clara, which is not her real name, had no choice with her unwanted pregnancy. she grew up sexually abused by a family member from the age of se
