there is an interesting example, michigan, governor gretchen whitmer is suing to try and have a law thatdates roe done away with. host: you talked about 13 states specifically. do other states have them or could they put them into play? guest: certainly. about half the states in the country have some type of law on their books that would restrict abortion access within their borders, and within that mix of states there are some that have telegraphed their moving in that direction. one example is florida, and there is research that shows, basically, it has all of the elements or political components that could be a can pleat ban in -- a complete ban in the state eventually. host: do we know states that are motivated because of the story two days ago because of politico? guest: we have already seen copycats that have followed in the footsteps of the texas law, which banned abortion after six weeks. some of those include idaho and oklahoma, so we certainly know that as things are successful in restricting abortion access those states are following that pathway. host: i'm curious to find out

one of the people putting their opinions on paper is gretchen whitmer, talking about her states experience and they're preparing for matters if roe v. wade is overturned. she writes in the op-ed of the new york times saying, many of us for this day would come, which is why last month i filed a lawsuit and, drawing on authority granted me as governor, asked the michigan supreme court to immediately resolve whether our state constitution includes the right to gain access to abortion. my argument is predicated on the due process and equal protection clauses in our state constitution. the due process clause of the michigan constitution protects the right to abortion in the same way that the united states constitution does perot, and the equal protection clause prohibits estate from adopting was based on paternalistic justifications and and over broad generalizations about the role of women in the workforce and at home. i hope that my novel lawsuit can offer a course of action for others to follow. again, the website of the new york times, you can read it there. let's hear from our line from de
