msnbc ali velshi spent the weekend on the ground, talking to voters. i think one of the things that should be of concern is that the threat against abortion rights. and how it has been politicized by the heavy conservative political bodies. and really at the end of the day, this impacts people down to their ability to live and their ability to exercise agency over their own lives. this is something that should not be a political tool, but should be recognized as a life or death issue. >> i think what is motivating me right, now especially going into the election, voting, this is my first midterm election -- the big thing that i didn't think would have to be an issue is misinformation. and denying something that is so simple and basic. at the end of the day, i am what most people target as -- i am queer person with a uterus. i'm a person of color. my rights are being pushed away. >> the most important issue in arizona, when i am voting, is protecting the essence of our democracy. we are, for worse, ground zero of this election denier stuff, the audit th

. >> thank you ali velshi for that really important conversation. the stop -- if that sounds familiar to you, it is. because it has very heavy similarities to ron desantis's law signed in march, known as the don't say gay bill. currently in effect in florida's public schools. this bill takes it even further. it bans any a federally funded and the, including hospitals, libraries, military bases, and of course public schools around the country from discussing quote, any topic involving gender identity, gender dysphoria, transgender-ism, sexual orientation, or little subjects to children under the age of ten. joining me now is alejandro -- a clinical instructor at harvard law school, cyber law clinic in a try against gender rights advocate. thank you for joining us. you had a really poignant response to this on twitter. i want to read it for folks. you said this, i can't overstate how radical the private right of action portion is. the bill is so broadly defined that a pediatric hospital could be sued for having a pride flag or a medical pamphlet about
