democratic senator tammy duckworth of illinois joins us now. just heard, and a recipient of the purple heart, and we thank you for joining us. that really does size it up. the weapons that are being used in mass shootings almost daily, and by the way, these mass shootings, what i don't understand about your republican counterparts, these mass shootings are not going to choose their political location, their districts. they are going to come to a city or town near them that they haven't already, and yet, there is such resistance in washington to putting any type of restraints on these guns getting into the wrong hands or to any hands, quite frankly, in large amounts. >> yeah. these firearms don't belong on the streets, and i spent a few years in the army. i carried on m-16 and m4. i enjoyed shooting them on the range, but let me tell you, my enjoyment shooting an m4 does not override someone else's the right to life. these folks are there for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and some can no longer do that, and we need to ban assault

received their health care through the veterans administration, and i want to thank my colleague tammy duckworth who has worked so hard on this and that is something that is important for us to consider. and then, the other thing that i am very focused on is what can we do to short access to abortion care in states where it is still legal, including on federal, land but also for, example, in my home state of minnesota, where the governor, tim wallace, who is running for reelection, made an executive order clarifying that he will use his executive power to preserve access to abortion care for people who live in minnesota and for people who will come to minnesota from other places. this is something the president has talked about as well, that freedom to travel, fundamental freedom that we should have in this country, that we should not allow states -- state legislatures to try to infringe upon. and i could just mention one other thing that the administration has also been very clear and strong on protecting access to medication abortion and states where abortion is still legal. this is very impor

with us now is the senator from illinois, democrat, tammy duckworth.hank you so much for being with us, we are sorry for what your state is going through this morning. the fact ofs of the interaction that the police had with him -- >> we need is an all out weapon ban and high capacity. t this young man left the city and bought legally with the help of his father assault weapons. we need better coordination between all the different databases that would set up a red flag. . we passed in the bill of our gun reform legislation last month additional funding to allow these databases to communicate with each other accurately and we have a firearm owner id law. everyone who wants to buy it has to pass background checks. the report never made it, the other databases and that this young man was able to pass multiple background checks. >> do you think the new law that you just passed in the senate may have caught something along the way here? >> i think that, yes, i think additional funding that we have provided in the law would allow these databases so we can c

you said what is daddy's name and what is mommy's name and she said in the professional voice tammy duckworth. [laughter] was it tough to talk about your current situation as a working mom? to have them maintain their privacy? how did you wrestle with that quick. >> if you asked me about it when i first ran for office i would not have talked about it but after having my kids are having gone through senate campaign while on ivf and trying to get pregnant. i decided i had to talk about it for other moms are women that are struggling with fertility issues. because people would come up to me and have this idea with the heroics with the treatment and i want people to know there is no such thing of work life balance. it is a lie. it's a lie that is perpetuated the person nation and families in the long run. there is a worklife balance we must pass things like universal family leave, paid family leave. we need to have it and here is why. the fact military women. in 2014 they have to report back even if they had a cesarean even added a duty station was afghanistan they have to do that. that is wrong.

i want to turn the podium over to our senator, tammy duckworth. >> thank you, mr. governor.ike most americans, like the families of the six who were killed, to celebrate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. those six families no longer have that opportunity. my heart goes out to those families who will never see their loved ones again. i have made it clear to the governor and mayor that i would do whatever i can to get them the resources they need. not just to catch the shooter but to help highland park recover from this tragedy. i was just on the phone with senator durbin, who is driving here as quickly as he can to come to highland park. and he also sends his condolences and his thoughts. and you know, he and i recently in the senate last month proved that bipartisan compromise on gun safety is possible. today we have seen that we can't just stop there. we have to do more to keep our community safe. we have to get rid of assault weapons, high capacity magazines and so many other additional commons sense reforms that others are crying out for. for today, i will go ho
