out-of-state corporations wrote an online sports betting plan they call "solutions for the homeless". really? the corporations take 90 percent of the profits. and using loopholes they wrote, they'd take even more. the corporations' own promotional costs, like free bets, taken from the homeless funds. and they'd get a refund on their $100 million license fee, taken from homeless funds, too. these guys didn't write a plan for the homeless.

theha teichner on the abortion debate. [yelling] >> reporter: never mind the justice samuel alito's leaked majority opinion was a draft not a final decision. its impact was like a hurdlhurdled grenade. >> abortion is violence. >> reporter: one step and it ignited all of the pent-up passions surrounding the expected overturn of roe vs. wade after nearly 50 years. >> abortion is murder! >> reporter: the news was a shock but not a surprise. >> in 2019, we got a preview of what living in a post- roe result was roe resus going to look like. >> reporter: she is president and c.e.o. of
7:08 am
planned parenthood for the st. louis region in southwest missouri. in 2019, only last-minute court intervention kept the planned parenthood facility in st. louis open, the last abortion clinic in the state. >> my body, my choice! >> it was at that moment we started to be really strategic for planning for a future without abortion in the state of missouri. we built this 18,000 scare foot facility in secret. >> reporter: in fairview heights, just across the mississippi river from st. louis. in illinois, abortion laws are as liberal here as they are restrictive in missouri. last year it performed approximately 6,000 abortions. it is prepared to perform 14,000 a year going forward. >> so we are doing this not just for missouri patients, but for patients from across the midwest
7:09 am
and the south. >> reporter: if you want to see what a post-roe world will look like, this is it. just look at a map of the states where abortion will be legal, like illinois, and all those others, where it likely will not. a new kind of continental divide. in january, the fairview heights clinic opened this first in the nation regional logistics center. >> i heard the panic in your voice. it is okay. >> reporter: it provides patients money, transportation, lodging, whatever they say they need wherever they are. >> if you need any type of travel or ride -- >> reporter: kawanna shannon runs the center. i'm sure there are anti-abortion supporters who will say you're facilitating people killing their babies. >> i will tell you that i am sitting here every day facilitating a person's
7:10 am
right to choose what they want to do with their body. >> i dreamed of being a mom. and when i learned that some children don't even have the right to live it just shocked my conscience. it still does. >> reporter: equally passionate but on the op otherside, elated that the supreme court could actually overturn roe soon. >> we have a decision that 50 years ago was wrongly held, and the conservative pro-life movement has been working within the system to change that bad law since it was passed. >> reporter: mother of six, a lawyer, coleman is the face of her state's waiting in the wing's law banning abortion. roe gets overturned, and what happens? >> abortion will be illegal in the state of
7:11 am
missouri, except for the life of the mother. >> reporter: coleman has proposed legislation that goes further, targeting not the woman herself but any professional service provider anywhere who knowingly aids or abets someone from missouri getting an abortion, exactly the sort of services the fairview heights facility provides. >> i don't think if you live in missouri or if you live in new york your value as a person is any less. i would like to see us continue to try to fight this at a national level as well. >> reporter: according to a cbs news poll out today, more than six out of 10 americans want roe left in place. but if it does fall, as expected... >> [yelling] >> reporter: ...the battle over abortion shifts from the courts to the legislative arena at all levels of government. and both sides agree on this one thing: >> right now vote because
7:12 am
your life and your future actually depends on it. >> this is jim axelrod. the security fence surrounding the supreme court is all you need to see to understand the gravity of what unfolded in washington this past week. while the court may have decided a presidential election in the last quarter century and ruled on who could legally marry whom, the draft leaked monday night suggesting roe vs. wade could soon be overturned -- >> so republicans have been working towards thi day for decades. >> reporter: elicited an emotional intensity reaching even deeper and more broadly across the country. >> abortion is violence! >> if you ask most americans to m name a supreme court decision, the vast majority will say roe vs. wade. it is the only one that
7:13 am
has dominated presidential eections for decades. >> reporter: university of california davis law professor, mary ziegler. >> what is the legal reasoning underpinning the overturning of roe vs. wade? >> it comes down to the idea that the court says there are only a limited sub set of rights recognized in our constitution. those are ones that have been deeply rooted in our nation's tradition and history. [yelling] >> our right or not! >> reporter: which explains that intensity for so many wondering if one long-established protection is overturned, what is next? >> we don't know if this court is going to stop with reversing roe. we know there are some justices on the court who would like to reverse a whole variety of other decisions, from same-sex marriage to banning same-sex marriage. >> reporter: if somebody says to you relax, this isn't a slippery slope, what do you say to that? >> i would say if you had spoken to many americans
7:14 am
five years ago and said "roe vs. wade" would be overturned with amy coney barrett first decision on the court, they would say that is risky for a court whose reputation has already been damaged. and yet here we are. >> reporter: did you see this coming? > >> everyone could oversee it could be overturned with 4-5, but tho not that it would be leaked. the court's deliberations or the most sact sacrosanct process. >> reporter: for rosen, the leak and who did it, is no distraction to the main issues; it is a grave threat to how the courts work in private, so justices have room to recast and revise their opinions. >> there have been many
7:15 am
motives that have been pending around, but one is that after five justices voted to overturn roe vs. wade, chief justice roberts is now trying to convince some of them to change their mind and to join him in a more moderate opinion. the leaker is trying to make it harder for any swing justices to peel off and change their minds. >> and an appointment which could turn the supreme court to the right for years to come... >> reporter: wanting to end the court's highly partisan, for robert bork -- >> robert bork's america is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions. >> reporter: he says the opinion would reflect consensus, favoring 8-1 decision so much more than 5-4. >> he said we have to be modest or we're going to run the risk of a legitimate threat to our
7:16 am
democracy. >> reporter: that's the opposite of where we find ourselves this sunday morning, with the court close to a sweeping decision that will overturn a protection that has been in place for half a century, one americans feel strongly about. >> the court has historically not been that untethered from what people tend to think, especially when the court is inserting itself intomorti tf lgbtq people, to voting rights to the regulation of climate change. the court is literally in every conversation we're having, and it operating in ways we haven't seen in the recent past. >> reporter: but as americans have learned in the past few years, the recent past is no longer the best guide to how we're function in the future. >> this will be something that professors of any kind of law will be talking about probably for more than 100 years from this conversation.

7:30 am
came in and expanded the doughnut culture here in southern california very greatly. >> reporter: it is fair to say it is part of american culture? >> absolutely. > reporter: a culture which now includes the pink doughnut box. decades ago cambodian owners bypassed the white boxes for cheaper pink boxes, which fit a dozen doughnuts p perfectly. it not only saved thousands of dollars, but it created an icon of sweetness. dorothy chow manages a doughnut supply company. the daughter of cambodian refugees, she grew up working in several of her parents' stores, and considers herself a doughnut kid. >> there were some days i worked 12, 13, 14-hour days, but now as i'm older, i can look back on it with pride, like i'm a part of this whole journey our parents have been on.

7:54 am
built. henry bacon, the architect, envisioned at the far end of the mall you have the capitol building, which represents the government, and here you have the lincoln memorial, the savior of that government. >> reporter: it is a symbolic link connecting the memorial and the mall to formally confederate virginia. but imagine if the lincoln memorial looked like this or this? those were just some of the designs that were initially proposed. ultimately, it was preeminent henry bacon's neoclassical design that was selected, modeled after the parthenon in athens. all to celebrate a man born in a log cabin. there are 87 steps to the memorial, forescore and seven steps leading up to lincoln. and those with an eagle eye can even spot a typo. >> the word "future," was

mistakenly carved and had to be puttied or filled in. >> reporter: a charming accident buried in a very deliberate design. the memorial was symbolically hune from rock that hailed from all parts of the united states. stone from massachusetts, colorado, tennessee, while lincoln himself is carved of georgia marble. the design's theme was unity, so there is almost no mention of the actual cause of the civil war: slavery. according to scott sandage, professor of american history at carnegie mellon in pittsburgh. >> by saying nothing about slavery, you avoid the rubbing of all sores. so they intentionally build a memorial that has no references in it to enslavement or the end of slavery, except for the

eloquent sentences he made in his second memorial address. >> reporter: on may 30th, 1922, the memorial was dedicated by former president howard taft in front of a large, segregated crowd, one that included lincoln's son. the only speaker of the day, head of the tuskegee institute, had his speech censored. only the civil war veterans were seated black next to white. >> the chicago defender began to run editorials that said the lincoln memorial wh has been opened but not dedicated because the memorial didn't say anything about slavery. >> reporter: perhaps the memorial's true dedication came in 1939, when african-american superstar marian anderson performed on the steps. >> i would say when she

and turning the steps of the memorial into a stage. >> yeah. >> if you walk up those steps, i think it's impossible not to think of martin luther king, jr., in addition to thinking about abraham lincoln, and marian anderson. so in an amazing twist, the lincoln memorial became a place for rewriting the history that it was intended to erase. it was intended to forget about racial divides, and it became a place for remembering them and trying to heal them. self to los? who said you can't do dinner? who said only this is good? and this is bad? i'm doing it my way. meet plenity. an fda -cleared clinically proven weight management aid for adults with a bmi of 25-40 when combined with diet and exercise. plenity is not a drug - it's made from naturally derived building blocks and helps you feel fuller and eat less.
