speaking of sexism, the conservative crusade against reproductive freedom continues despite the factday, this very day, marks the 40th anniversary of the supreme court's decision in roe versus wa wade, and a new nbc poll shows that for the first time ever a majority of americans want abortion to remain legal. now, i wonder if this shift in public opinion comes as one of the unintended consequences of the republican party's war on women, which apparently still goes on today. >> it does still go on today and if you look at the state level, i think one can argue that the pro-choice movement is losing the battle in a number of states. at least four states there's only one abortion clinic. there's several states that are passing increasingly restrictive provisions around abortion. so the pro-life movement and republicans have made inroads on the backs of republican state legislatures who are just exp d expanding the restrictions around women getting abortions. so i think on the one hand you do have this national sort of cultural shift in terms of acknowledging that women should have the r
