wade. so roe v. wade held, of course, and is reaffirmed in planned parenthood versus casey, that a woman has a constitutional right to obtain an abortion before viability, subject to reasonable regulation by the state up to the point where that regulation constitutes an undue burden on the woman's right to obtain an abortion. and one of the reasons for that holding, as explained by the court, in roe and also in planned parenthood versus casey, more fully, is along the lines of what you said, senator feinstein, about the quote from justice o'connor. so that's one of the rationales that under that undergirds roe v. wade, is one of the rationales that undergirds lantern versus casey. >> let me give you a rational. in the 19 50s and 60s, two decades before roe, deaths from illegal abortions in this country ran between 200,001. 2 million. that's according to the good marker institute. so a lot of women died in that institute died in that period. so the question comes and -- you have said today -- not toda

the importance of the precedent set forth in roe v wade, so roe v wade held of course, and it's reaffirmed in planned parenthood versus casey. that a woman has a constitutional right to obtain an abortion before viability. subject to reasonable regulation by the state up to the point where that regulation constitutes an undue burden. on the woman's right to obtain an abortion and one of the reasons for that holding as explained by the court in row and also in planned parenthood versus casey more fully is along the lines of what you said center feinstein about the quote from justice o'connor. so that's one of the rationales that undergirds roe v wade. it's one of the rationales that undergirds planned parenthood versus casey. let me give you another one rationale. in the 1950s and 60s the two decades before row. deaths from a legal abortions in this country ran between 200,000 and 1.2 million. that's according to the good mocker institute. so a lot of women in that period so the question comes and you have said today not today, but in it's been reported that you have said that ro is now set

next, back to politics new polling in the impact that the supreme court overturning roe v. wade. joe biden and democrats in congress just passed a law that lowers costs for healthcare, medicine, and energy bills by making corporations pay the taxes they owe without raising taxes on any of us making under $400,000 a year. moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day, that's effective without topical steroids. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin while some saw up to 100% clear skin. plus, they felt fast itch relief some as early as 2 days. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers including lymphoma and skin cancer, death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least one heart disease risk factor have higher ris

that's the case of roe v. wade. >> prior to 50 years ago in roe v. wade it was a law -- against the law for a woman to have an abortion. with roe v. wade it became legal or allowable i should say. >> he been before roe v. wade it depended on the stay. what roe v. wade is about as constraining the powere of the state to make that decision for a pregnant woman. it's a hard decision but it's not that decision for government officials to make its a personal decision. that's really what it's about. it's about combining the power of government. it's more about that then what should an individual woman do about her personal circumstance and it's been framed improperly in my view. the debate is too much around the wind versus the fetus. it should really be about how much power do we want government to have versus your minister versus your spouse versus your family versus your own internal value system. saying thank you. i would add the conversation doesn't necessarily take immediately and account the idea that rich women will probably always find a way to ge

wade. i am delighted that roe v. wade has been overturned and i believe the law that protects young children from propaganda by people like yourself, i mean no disrespect, but like people like yourself is a good thing. it only goes up to the third grade. i also think that it is wrong to try to turn little boys into little girls. something that your organization is in favor of. there are now children who believe that they are of a gender that they are not. and in years to come, those very same children whom you have harmed by your legal processes will come back to haunt you because they will have all kinds of emotional and psychological problems as well as physical problems for the kinds of things that's been going on. host: i'll give you a chance to respond, kevin jennings, to our caller's comments. guest: sure there's really two questions in there. one was talking about lbgtq+ issues in schools and the second was around issues of gender identity and genter affirming care for young people. first of all, i do not cons

we although it happened to roe v. wade. this will have a particularly big impact on women of color who do not have access to transportation to have an abortion. we are working with advocacy groups all across this nation for the first organizer in the state of new york. particularly the state to have complete and total bands and restrictive laws with respect to access to abortions. and we have republican attorney general's were never reached out to these organized groups. they have no idea what an attorney general does in most cases, what they do, what their role is and what their responsibilities what you are doing is organizations on the ground. it is extending and expanding our arm of justice. lastly, working with social media companies, i convened a few of them last week. i asked them a series of questions with regards to privacy, the tracking of information. this information, disinformation, what they are doing with respect to storing a lot of the information and where they stand with respect to reproductive health care

it's the first such vote since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade in june. in arizona, there's no clear winner yet in the republican primary for governor. karrin taylor robson who was endorsed by former vice president pence is in a dead heat with kari lake who is endorsed by former president trump. the winner will face democrat katie hobbs in november. in michigan, governor gretchen whitmer who ran unopposed in the democratic primary will defend her seat against tudor dixon who won the republican nomination. and in missouri, attorney general eric schmitt won the gop nomination for senate over 20 other candidates. he will face democrat trudy busch valentine, an heiress of the anheuser-busch beer fortune. >>> president biden says he's looking forward to signing a measure expanding health care benefits for veterans exposed to toxic military burn pits. the senate passed the bill overwhelmingly last night after it was held up by republican opposition last week. comedian and advocate jon stewart praised veterans who fought for the measure. >> i'm not sure i've eve

supreme court overturned roe v. wade two months ago, ending federal protection for the procedure. ever since that ruling abortion has been banned in 10 states across the u.s. and restrictions have been imposed in at least four. the referendum in kansas is the first time voters have had the chance to weigh in on the issue. at the white house today president biden called the vote a decisive victory that would send a powerful signal ahead of the midterm elections in november. with more, our north american correspondent on the big bar. >> i did this deeply conservative state, this moment has gen liberal groups hope. >> it will be ok. >> they expected to vote to protect abortion rights to either be tight or not their grip -- not go their way it all. >> i am speeches there speechless, really. i am so proud and relieved our rights remain in tact in kansas. >> when the u.s. supreme court overturned r v. wade two months ago, the ruling that legalized abortion nationwide, many republican states banned or restrictedhe procedure. not kansas. because, the right is enshrined in the state consti

there may be a few elected officials that were here before roe v. wade but not many. we have a lot of candidates who are pro-life, but they also want to get reelected or elected, they need to know that the pro-life people are standing with them, working with them, promoting them and supporting them financially. they need to hear from us. i am pro-life, i love that you are and i am supporting you. thank you for being a voice for the voiceless. keep that encouragement coming because you know they are hearing from our opponents. >> there is a flipside to that. some politicians use that as a way to get elected. when it comes time to do something on a life issue they run and hide and they do nothing. they need to be held accountable. if you have a primary where all of the candidates say they are pro-life, it looked to see they have got skin in the game, they have done something. >> i wanted to finish with you on the cultural side. you see democrats and liberals using talking points about other countries that are so much more for women's rights, and when it comes down to th

and roe v. wade has been overturned and he will be the first to say it's down to the voters to elect members of congress who can actually formalize the constitutional rights to abortion. >> well, you heard voters in kansas in that report sending something of a resounding message about their desire to protect abortion rights in that state. were you surprised by the extent to which that vote was one? in what was firmly a republican state? >> i think everyone is quite taken aback today. the phrase you keep hearing is political earthquake, because we are talking about kansas here, one of the most conservative states in the u.s.. donald trump won it by 15 percentage points in the 2020 election. and yet, it was an absolutely resounding vote of abortion rights, clearly not just democrats, but independents and some republicans as well. joe biden said this demonstrates that people believe this decision should be left to women, not to politicians. and it really underscores what many opinion polls have sug

the vast majority overturning roe v. wade. they did not like it. if you look at that senate race, you look at blake masters, why is he all of a sudden coming out with new language on his campaign website? maybe the fact he's down by 8%s to senator mark kellty. it's clear that voters in arizona are against the overturning of roe v. wade. >> what about the national stage? >> if you look nationally and say, okay, normally abortion, if you look in years past is a motivating factor for republicans, those people who are against abortion rights. but look at this "new york times" poll from last month. and essentially they said, okay, what's your most important issue? and if your most important issue is abortion, who do you favor in these races? if you look at that slide, the democrats candidates are favored by an over 50-point margin at this point. you know i like studying polls, john. i've never seen anything like that. >> that's an enormous margin to see on a single issue. what is this doing here? how is this moving -- or what are you seeing, i should sa

it's a major victory for pro—choice groups, after the us supreme court overturned roe v wade two months ago, ending federal protection for the procedure. since that ruling, abortion has been banned in ten states across the us and restrictions imposed in at least four. the referendum in kansas is the first time voters have had the chance to weigh in. nomia iqbal reports. cheering. in this deeply conservative state, it is a moment that has given liberal groups hope. it's going to be ok, it's going to be ok. they'd expected the vote to protect abortion rights to either be tight, or not go their way at all. i am speechless, really. i'm so proud and relieved. i'm relieved that our rights remain intact in kansas. when the us supreme court overturned roe v wade two months ago, a ruling that legalised abortion nationwide, many republican—led states banned or restricted the procedure. not kansas, because the right is enshrined into the state's constitution. an amendment had to be passed to remove that right. it was a yes or a no vote. no won, by a lot. so proud of everybody in this - state of

supreme court overturned roe v. wade. so this election is going to send a message that people in office are going to remember for years to come, about what that means to voters. i think that voters in wisconsin and around the country are going to send a very clear message that they do not want to have their rights taken away. and that they want access to safe and legal abortions to be restored. over the next three, months we are going to see a lot of focus on that issue. we are gonna see how extreme republicans have become, opposing exceptions for cases of rape and incest. so there is a clear difference on this issue, i think people are going to vote based on that. >> what is the road to success on that front? other than electing democrats, which is what you had in kansas, the protection of an existing law that voters have to -- michigan, similar to wisconsin, has a 19th century abortion ban on books. they're gonna try to get that changed in november. what is the best option in this primary, and in november, for wisconsin

look at what has happened since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. in red state after red state there is a race to pass the most restrictive abortion limitations possible even in the event of rape or insist. but these maga republicans will not stop there. they want a national ban. amy: we will speak to the head of naral pro-choice america and to a doctor with planned parenthood in texas. doctors their face life in prison and a $100,000 fine if they perform an abortion. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in ukraine, the russian-occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was cut off from the national power grid thursday, after fighting between russian and ukrainian forces sparked fires that destroyed a transmission line. without a source of outside power, the plant's automated system switched to an emergency backup a last line of defense against nuclear meltdown. zaporizhzhia is europe's largest nuclear power station, with six reactors and thousands of tons of highly radi

wade. and a decision in roe v. wade. so, alice, you had a -- about the congressional district 19th in new york's. and how roe v. wade played into that. >> that's a great testing case, or battleground, to really give us a litmus test on what we can expect in the general election. what we had in cd 19 in new york was a special election runoff. and the winner was the, the democrat won in that specific race. it is pat ryan winning in that. he really made this about the overturning of roe v. wade, and dialing back of women's health care choices, and the situation that is putting a lot of women health care in. that is really when he focused on and campaigned on. this is one case, while it is a primary election day, this is a republican versus a democrat. the democrat ran on roe v. wade, and he won. granted, this is a blue district, a blue area. but it is a good way to gauge what we might possibly can expect in the general election in november, when we have again, republicans versus democrats. and i expect more democrats now to

there was the supreme court decision to overturn roe v. wade. the question of whether that would motivate, get democratic voters, democrat land borders off the sidelines, motivated to vote as republicans already seem to be motivated to vote in this buttermilk shun. there is some polling evidence some indication in polling that that might be the case. then, earlier this summer, we have two other special elections, one in minnesota and i'm in nebraska. but we're in republican districts. both were in districts that went for donald trump, both were won by republicans but the democrats did better in each of the special elections and then joe biden had done in those districts in 2020. democrats looked that and said, hey, maybe that's a sign that there is some increased enthusiasm for democrats in the wake of the row -- overturning of roe. but then that set up, this election tonight, as a real test, kind of pure test and what is truly a bellwether district. what i am showing you here is how the 19th district has voted and recent presidential elections.

wade for years. ever since roe v. wade was imposed, pro-life advocates have been fighting to overturn it. this is not a political issue. this is -- >> again, i know what you're going with that. but for the folks who are now scrubbing the websites. all of a sudden saying that they are changing their mind. this isn't something that was from their heart that they believed in. if it is an issue that is going to keep them from winning an office, then the go oh yeah i change my mind. >> exactly. again, this is not an issue about politics. this is an issue about saving and protecting the sanctity of life. what we are seeing is many of them took too extreme of a position. i happen to believe there should be exceptions for rape,, incest and the life of the mother. but, the whole point is to protect the sanctity of life. many of those people -- why did that change? we caused him to change that? just because they're not going to be an office? >> they just want to win. it is about power. it is not about saving the life of an unbo

wade. can democrats codify roe v. wade before possibly losing control of one or both chambers? >> we have to do everything that we can. this is an existential fight. these are fundamental rights and freedoms, so many millions protested and rallied and did everything that they could to secure these rights. and to see them ripped away, we have to have all options on the table to figure out how to return these rights. and i think the willingness to say that clearly, strongly, and to really do that work is what people desperately want to see, and we showed that in the campaign. now we have to deliver, and certainly, that is very much front and center for me as i head down and start. >> there's an nbc news poll this week that asked voters their top issue heading into midterms. the number one issue in the poll was threats to democracy, followed by cost of living, jobs and the economy, immigration and the border, climate change, guns, and then there's abortion at 8%, tied with guns. and yet, you really made this a front and center issue, even if polling didn't suggest that it would ha

wade constituencies. roe v. wade was a compromise. it was not -- abortion on demand, that's not what roe v. wade said. it gave people rights within limits to set up a trimester system. two-thirds of the country wants to see where abortion in some cases is legalized. i think that's what kansas reaffirmed that there's still this large two-thirds of the country majority for something like roe. and that should tell people the possibility of legislating it on a national level. >> by the way, not in oregon. not in illinois. not in vermont. in kansas. >> yeah. >> and a lot of people say, and they are right, a lot of pro-lifers who say that if you look at polling on abortion, that it's complicated, mike barnicle, but it's actually, actually, if you dig in, it's really not that complicated only 1 out 3 americans it through the years, if you look at gallup polls have ever supported the overturning of roe v. wade. there's a plurality of americans, again, with the complexities of it all, a plurality of americans support abortion up to 15 weeks. t

he said the decision to overturn roe v. wade had put women's health and lives at risk. adding that tonight the american people had something to say about it. this boat makes clear what we know, that the majority of americans agree that women should have access to abortion and should have the right to make their own health care decisions. since the u.s. supreme court ruling, access to an abortion has been banned in at least 10 states with another four states banning it after six weeks of pregnancy. that is before most women know that they are pregnant. you can see kansas borders a lot of those states. since the ban, a lot of women have been traveling to kansas for legal abortions. let's look at what the referendum could mean for the midterms. >> democrats a been looking to see if this is an issue that could mobilize your voters ahead of the critical midterm election in november where control of the u.s. senate and house is at stake. this has wide-ranging implications for other states who may see this as a roadmap to enact restrictions on abortion and also data points for

wade. you did mention roe v. wade earlier, but they think it is roe v. wade -- they think it is women that will determine the selection. guest: most women motivated by abortion are already democrats. we are talking about an increased democratic turnout which will help democrats. usually in a midterm, the out party has a better turnout because they are angry but i think democrats will have an equal turnout with republicans because of roe v. wade. the fact is that most independents are not motivated by abortion. most independents are motivated by the same issues they've been voting on and those are not the issues that animate democrats. it is the same thing with republicans. independents are not animated by what is happening on the border the way republicans are. there is a reason they are independents. they will be the ones who end up deciding the general election. host: let's talk to trent from louisiana on the independent line. good morning. caller: hi mr. olson. on c-span i talked to a guy from ethics and public policy. i was wondering if you guys -- h

a conversation on the supreme court decision to overturn roe v. wade. >> ladies and gentlemen, the role of congress post-hourly -- post-roe. please welcome penny nance. from minnesota, congresswoman michelle fishbach, and your host , founder and president of bien venudo u.s. >> ladies and gentlemen, if you love freedom and liberty, let me hear you. [cheers and applause] listen, it is and honor to share this stage with trailblazers in the pro-life community because america believes in the importance of standing for the unborn, and i cannot think of two extraordinary women who have done that. thank you for what you do and what you continue to do for the pro-life movement. before we begin, can we please all give this -- these women a round of applause for their work. [applause] on june 24, the supreme court of the united states decided that it is time to right a wrong in america when they overturn roe v. wade. i want to get your thoughts because we all know "the new york times" video of you standing outside the court on the microphone. what was going

v wade. he says the order will cover costs for women traveling out of state for an abortion. >> it makes your healthcare provider comply with federal the loss you do not face delays when getting medically necessary care. >> it funds resource and data collection of the impact on what he calls a reproductive health crisis. >> motors in candace -- kansas, elected to -- they declared access to abortion is a fundamental right under the state's bill of rights in 2019. a proposed amendment would have removed that language that guarantees the right to an abortion. last night, kansas overwhelmingly chose to strike down the proposed amendment. this is the first time that u.s. voters cast ballots on an abortion since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade sense june. >> is a hugely controversial fight. we heard that they were fired up and upset about the possibility of losing their rights. >> reporter: not only were voters fired up, they showed up in huge numbers. the scope of this says that the issue

minorities, people of color, are really going to feel the burden of overturning roe v. wade. despite the barriers, i could still have my abortion. doing so, escaping an abusive relationship, graduate from college with honors, they are the family i have now and they are part of the career i feel passionate about. >> reporter: we first met malia last year. her daughter was just 1, maya. she found out she was unexpectedly pregnant again. she and her husband decided they weren't ready for another baby so fast. >> i have no shame, i have no regrets. my two abortions don't bother me. >> reporter: since the supreme court's decision to overturn roe v. wade, the laws in many states have been thrown into confusion and chaos. texas is one of at least 15 states that have ceased nearly all abortion services. >> help line operations and other funding operations -- >> they know who abortion bans will affect. >> we're focusing on advocacy right now and then moving forward, when we have more information, we hope to be able to legally resume a lot of our operations. >> reporter: after finding

>> so initially, the majority of us, including myself, did pause when the initial roe v. wade decision came down, because we wanted our state leaders to give us some clarity, because there's multiple conflicting laws on the book here in arizona. and many of them carry criminal penalties, felony mandatory jail time, et cetera. and so it took some time, and actually, it took court action for things to become a lot more clear that the pre-roe ban is currently not in effect here in arizona, and that the judge will be ruling on that later in september. so with that understanding, that still isn't enough for the majority of providers in arizona to move forward. but each of us have our own risk calculus and decisions to make around this. and so for me, i think that the law was clearly on my side, that i can proceed safely and provide abortion care. but the fear and confusion that has been all of this time since the decision has definitely made it difficult to keep the clinic staffed up, and for people who care about the patients who seeking abortion care, as well. there is a gre

what about the end of roe v. wade? is it mobilizing democrats? and then, there is that major shift that we saw in 2020. hispanic voters abandoning democrats, and voting republican. it is accelerating even more this year. 99 days to go. let's get to it. let's start at the place where at least, for me it's all gonna and in 99 days from now, or i should say, it will start two and 99 days from now, because elections are no longer take one night. it will be election week this year. i think that is the new norm. 99 days from now, we will start to get results. and we said, big picture here, the country, the mood does not seem to be great, and the country's attitude towards the president right now is one of disapproval. here, you see, tonight, joe biden's average approval rating, the 1st of august, 38.6%. that is his average of all the polls that are out there right now, put this in some perspective, here's every other president this century at this same point, the 1st of august in the mid term here. what did their average approval rating look like? you

it's a major victory for pro—choice groups, after the us supreme court overturned roe v wade two months ago, ending federal protection for the procedure. since that ruling, abortion has been banned in ten states across the us, and restrictions imposed in at least four. the referendum in kansas is the first time voters have had the chance to weigh in. nomia iqbal reports. cheering. in this deeply conservative state, it is a moment that has given liberal groups hope. it's going to be ok, it's going to be ok. they'd expected the vote to protect abortion rights to either be tight, or not go their way at all. i am speechless, really. i'm so proud and relieved. i'm relieved that our rights remain intact in kansas. when the us supreme court overturned roe v wade two months ago, a ruling that legalised abortion nationwide, many republican—led states banned or restricted the procedure. not kansas, because the right is enshrined into the state's constitution. an amendment had to be passed to remove that right. it was a yes or a no vote. no won, by a lot. so proud of everybody in this - state of

susan, as we were talking about, tech platforms have incredible power in a post roe v. wade world. they have some decisions to make about how they use that power. what are you most concerned about from the perspective of an investor? as we see these issues play out, -- play out? >> i think about it more as an opportunity that exists. it is really clear that women are not being served. certainly in the 20 states that have banned abortion. i think there will be a huge impact on business overall and that always creates opportunity. they will be founders out there who are looking for solutions that enable companies to really address the retention issues, the recruitment issues and challenges of a post roe v. wade era. a lot of women left for multiple reasons. just the overall caregiver issues that fall to women. this new ruling is just going to exacerbate tha workforce, fewer women advancing at companies, we all know that gender diverse teams divert better -- perform better. unless companies find a way to begin to mitigate this, i think we will have big challenges. >> how is this impac

the draft opinion leak of roe v. wade. you have already written a piece about this for wired magazine. there are so many questions attached to this within the purview of what you are writing about. first of all, the roe v. wade decision is based on the right of privacy, it is not in the constitution. how early on did our founders think about the concept of privacy? prof. gajda: you are right, the leak opinion suggests there is no right to privacy in the sense of autonomy and the way the government can come in and tell us what we can and cannot do with regards to personal decisions. that is very different from the type of privacy i am writing about, believe it or not. the type i write about is the right to keep certain personal information to ourselves. the right not to have others reveal that information, even if we do not want them to. and in this leaked opinion, justice alito even suggests there is a divergence, there are different types of privacy. that is one of the problems in the united states. we do not use the word

i know you were somebody who thought you wanted to see roe v. wade overturned. is that a mistake? >> well, i am staunchly pro life but there were issues with roe, even justice ruth bader ginsburg had issues constitutionally to the right to privacy and right to equal protection under the law. you saw joe biden 40 years ago trying to look to doing away with it as well. i think there are issues with roe in terms of the constitutionality of it and overturning of it now leaves it to the states and state legislatures in particular, but also congress can have a role here. the problem that we have today, chuck, i know you see this every single day are the political divisions. because of such of an emotional issue, this is a place where we should be working together. if you look across the pond and you look at european nations if you're even allowed to have one, there are gestational limits and most countries in europe you're looking at 12 to 15 weeks there. there are other exceptions that we should be looking at. we should be ensuring that life of the mother in every instance is being pro

what about the end of roe v. wade? is it mobilizing democrats? and then, there is that major shift that we saw in 2020. hispanic voters abandoning democrats and voting republican. it is accelerating even more this year. 99 days to go. let's get to it. let's start at the place where at least, for me it's all gonna end in 99 days from now, or i should say, it will start to end 99 days from now, because elections no longer take place in one night. it will be election week this year. i think that is the new norm. 99 days from now, we will start to get results. and we said, big picture here, the country, the mood does not seem to be great, and the country's attitude towards the president right now is one of disapproval. here, you see, tonight, joe biden's average approval rating, the 1st of august, 38. 6%. that is his average of all the polls that are out there right now, put this in some perspective, here's every other president this century at this same point, the 1st of august in the mid term year. what did their average approval rating look like?

this was the first electoral test for abortion rights since the supreme court overturn roe v. wade. around 60% of kansas voters voted no to removing the right for an abortion in the state

but i do think there is an x-factor, here the x-factors the roe v. wade decision to overturn roe v. wade, which seems again to be energizing democrats in the rose were upset about that, and again the president biden seems to be doing a little bit better in a poll, certainly makes the democrats chances a little bit better. does not mean he is going to, win but it is certainly a cause to see battleground tracker on today, showing that republicans are likely to pick up six fewer seats and they got just a month ago. still enough for, majority the but the momentum for the moment is on the democrat side. >> peter, baker thank you so much. can we talk to you about the disruptor. let's keep that look. at thank. you meanwhile, countdown to blast. of nasa poised to launch the most powerful rocket ever on a journey like no other. that is next. that is next >> today, we're expecting as many as half 1 million spectators descend on the space coast. they're in. florida for this huge rocket launch. the biggest ever for nasa. 8.8 million pounds of thrust, that is more powerful than the southern five

guest: well, the immediate impact of the vote yesterday is that since roe v. wade was overturned, kansas has this sort of island of abortion access in a region where almost every state is outlawing or significantly restricting it. talking about the southern states, these plane states. if you live in that part of the country, kansas has been one of the only states in that region where abortion remained accessible. so the immediate impact of yesterday's boat is that that will remain the case. if the vote had gone the other way, the legislature could fairly quickly have begun to pass significant restrictions that would have eroded that access. so that is a very consequential and tangible impact for people in kansas and the surrounding states. liz: a huge impact for women in the midwest. what do you think this says big-picture about the midterms? is there anything we can foreshadow about this decision? guest: [inaudible] liz: repeat that over again, we lusting for just a second. guest: sorry. i would definitely caution against extrapolating too much from the vote
