chief justice john roberts has confirmed the draft was authentic, however, does not represent a decision by the court. the court has now launched an investigation into the leak of that opinion draft. and those documents, chief justice john roberts saying this was a singular, an egregious breach of trust. that is an affront to the court and the community of public servants who work here. the president, other national leaders reacting to this correspondent, kareen wynter has the very latest. >>anger and frustration mounted outside the steps of the u.s. supreme court following a blockbuster report published by politico that set off a political firestorm. news that a supreme court draft opinion would overturn roe v wade, which got 50 years ago legalized abortion nationwide. chief justice john roberts confirmed this morning. the lead to document is authentic but said it does not represent an official decision by the court or the final position of any justice.

i hope are not enough votes for president biden said overturning this landmark decision from 1973, what threat and a whole range of rights >>whether or not right. right to marry. >>this is a dark and disturbing morning for america to supreme court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past 50 years. not just on women, but all overturning this case would clear the way for individual states to decide whether abortion would be legal. women would still have the right to decide in states like california and new york. but the procedure could be banned in nearly half of the country. places like the midwest and the south. republicans like senate minority leader mitch mcconnell blasted liberals saying someone within the court leaked to the draft. >>as part of fun, inappropriate pressure campaign to sway an outcome.

liberals want to rip the blindfold off lady justice. >>alright, impartiality. but until age. they want to elevate mob rule. >>the rule of law elite opinion indicated there's no constitutional right to abortion services. according to political justice alito wrote the majority decision with 4 other justices voting with him. 3 liberal justices were in the minority. it's unclear how chief justice roberts would vote. justice alito responding to the draft opinion wrote rowe was egregiously wrong from the start. it must be overruled. it is time to heed the constitution and returned the isue of abortion to the people's elected representatives. planned parenthood tweeted it's outrageous. it's unprecedented, but it's not final. abortion is your right and it is still legal. >>here at home, governor newsom and other local lawmakers are saying they will fight to protect reproductive

rights in california. the governor saying in part quota, this draft opinion is an appalling attack on the rights of women across this country. and if it stands, i'm furious. my own daughters and sons could grow up in an america that is less free than the one they were born into. we have to wake up. we have to fight like. we will not be silenced and quote, the governor is working with lawmakers to build a fire wall around the right to an abortion in our state constitution. planned parenthood in northern california says eliminating the constitutional right to abortion would create huge issues for the organization and for people who depend on their services. >>this taken us all by surprise. it's been a shock. we're all kind of dry digested in real time. but if in fact, it the way it will go, please. this is the wake-up call that people need to have. >>planned parenthood says more than 36 million people would lose access to abortion at the

supreme court overturned roe v wade abortion rights groups plan to rally outside the federal building on golden gate avenue in san francisco today at 5 o'clock this afternoon, we have yet to hear back from other pro-life groups that we've reached out to for their comments. but the san francisco archbishop salvatore cordileone did tweet last night saying he's thinking of all the years of hard work by pro-life people of all faiths, years of patient advocacy and help for unwed mothers. san francisco congresswoman jackie spear. meanwhile tweeting earlier, speaking of her own experience with abortion saying my abortion saved my life. it allowed me to have another child pursue a life of public service and realize my personal and professional dreams. most importantly, it was my decision. that shouldn't be a privilege. let's trust people to make important decisions for themselves. santa clara county supervisors are meanwhile, looking to invest 3 million

dollars in planned parenthood. mar monte. the health center is the largest planned parenthood affiliate in the country. and since july of 2021, 80 patients have cross state lines to receive care from that facility. many came from texas after that state passed a law banning most abortions after 6 weeks. if roe v wade is overturned, planned parenthood mar monte says its patient numbers will only go up and this funding is going to help them prepare for that. are preparing across our affiliate to see 2 to 500 additional patients a week. >>coming from out of state, at least 26 states are poised to ban abortion. this current landscape is exactly why planned parenthood, vermont, 8 needs to expand in both size and services. the 3 million dollars to be invested would be used for expansion and renovation of 2 of planned parenthood mar monte health centers. the santa clara county board of supervisors is set to vote. >>on that proposal today. in

world news. the latest coverage of the war in ukraine. we have an update on california's efforts issue states sanctions against russia. state lawmakers have now moved forward with the bill aiming to cut state economic ties with russia and belarus kron on's capitol bureau reporter ashley zavala explains the bill's progress. >>as russia continues its invasion of ukraine. california lawmakers are pushing ahead with their economic ammo against russia be 13 to state senate appropriations committee monday moved forward with sb 13. 28 the bill would ban state agencies and california's retirement systems from transacting with investing in or contracting with russia or belarus and companies that do business with those countries. the committee placed the bill on its suspense file monday for a hearing set for may 19th just part of. >>of a national and to some degree in international strategy to. to bring non

violent pressure that they're upon russia to to end the violence. it in the aggression. the bill requires each board of the states retirement systems, also known as calpers and calstrs ers. >>to determine whether companies they invest in have business operations in russia or belarus or supply military equipment to russia belarus. in the latest bill analysis, calpers told lawmakers about 69% of the publicly traded global companies in the fund's global equity gets revenue from russia and or belarus and could be subject to divestment rules laid out in the bill. the same applies to another 10% or 14 billion dollars of its global fixed income portfolios at its april board meeting calpers board voted to reject the bill saying the bill is overly broad and would capture more than 3,000 companies in its portfolio is for the state teachers retirement system. the bill analysis shows its exposure in global equity and fixed income investments driving revenue from russia. total 96 billion dollars. both systems expect significant costs in the hundreds of millions of dollars each for investment

losses, transaction staffing and contracting costs. if the bill is passed, neither retirement system has had a representative participate in any of the bills. 3 hearing so far it's not going to upset the apple cart. >>from a return on investment standpoint from the standpoint of the metrics that they need to achieve. but like i said, they worry about slippery today. it's rush of who's going to be next time. >>is it in. >>it's just a different point of view. the bill has bipartisan support from 57 state lawmakers, a spokesperson for cow stirs said it's seeking the board's position on the legislation in its meeting wednesday in sacramento. ashley zavala kron. 4 news. >>it's time now to switch gears here. talk a little bit about our weather forecast. got kron on meteorologist dave spahr standing by with a look. >>today, definitely a little sunnier than yesterday at this point. and it's going to get really hot as we get into tomorrow, right? dave? >>yeah, good day there, noel. good day, everybody. we're sunny out a half moon bay.

here are fighting a little in the way of some cloud cover and some fog early on during the day. you know, we're building on temperatures over today and into tomorrow. storm tracker, 4 very quiet, but there will be some traffic upstream late this week and curiously into the weekend as well. there may be some changes on that forecast just tracking with the winds going. it's still with us a little bit, but more off shore. most of the east bay usual notice even noticing the something the north bay to a little bit and down to san francisco in the teens and some single digits. a temperature check for you. we're already warmer than yesterday. lower 70's cover to middle 70's most of the east bay. 75 for napa. 73 santa rosa. 69 san francisco where we were 61 for half moon bay. 73 for san jose. comparison of 24 hours ago in some cases approaching about a dozen degrees ahead of yesterday or certainly above a half a dozen. so we're really warming up nicely. 84, 4 o'clock at 7.72. this is not the last day of warming up. we're going to see another big warm-up for tomorrow. 71 san

francisco, 77 for oakland, 79 san jose. as we mentioned as we get into the rest, the week is more traffic. we'll run through some of that, but also into the weekend may be something to watch in terms of changing up the forecast as well might be some interruption to some of that sunshine. noel. >>dave, thank you for that. coming up here on kron on a major recommendation gets the a's new ballpark. one step closer to becoming a reality. we're going to take a look ahead at a meeting today with oakland leaders. plus kronon political expert donna crane weighing in on the latest developments in the abortion issue. you're watching kron on. we'll have more news after the break.

>>morning, as we mentioned earlier, chief justice roberts has confirmed that that leaked opinion from the supreme court is real important to know this is not tough. the final vote from the court by any means, but it is causing, as you can see, quite the uproar. donna crane, professor at san jose state university joining us now to talk a little bit about how this happened, what all this means, donna leaked opinion draft is is pretty unprecedented. i'm not sure has this ever happened before. not to my knowledge of a draft of the first opinion has never been leaks that i know of. how could something like this happened in the first place? then? you know, that's a great justice reston mission rest in

peace. she said once the people who know don't talk and the people who talk don't know, i think what she meant is that they're just very few people that have access to these of these draft opinions are being circulated among the justices. >>and those that do have really take very seriously the idea of leaking i do think is interesting is that is that sort of sort of the secondary piece of news here some day. maybe right and we'll learn how athletes, but obviously the bigger piece of news is that, you know, women's lives may be changing very soon and obviously, this has been a fear of those who are pro choice ever since the supreme court become a more conservative over the last couple of now that this has happened, what are lawmakers likely doing now to prepare for this potential decision? well, so that is a really interesting question right now. i think lawmakers, my understanding from the conversations i've had overnight as the lawmakers are

scrambling to build as many protections as they can as many levels of government as they in the event that the national protection for reproductive freedom is lost. we have to say, though, that if the supreme court removed, if it reverses its precedent on roe v wade and were moved, that national protection that. >>there are some states where they would lose abortion rights immediately. but there are other states that think they are safe. so california is a great example and that it it's not correct. congress could also pass additional restrictions on the right to choose and those would apply nationwide. so i i observed what governor newsom is saying. i listening to all the other elected officials talk about passing laws that would build some protections back more abortion rights. but if restriction reproductive rights or if the supreme court takes additional cases and cuts even more deeply into this, while women in very

blue, very pro choice states will be just as affected as women in red talk just a little bit about maybe for people who are waking up and not really understanding or or know which case the supreme court is actually even looking out right now that would overturn this. >>so that the court has before it a case of a state law from the georgia state law would ban abortion after 15 weeks. it under current law constitutional law. it is completely unconstitutional. a woman has the right to choose until the point of but the georgia legislature and the governor said very openly that they pass this law knowing it was unconstitutional in the hopes it would be challenge that would go up to the highest court and the court would seize on. this is the opportunity to reverse the entire precedent roe v wade. and in fact, that is exactly the strategy that's been pursued. and it looks like we're on the cusp of that reaching that goal. i see, ok, well, i know that you spent

nearly 18 years as one of the nation's top experts on reproductive rights to see something like this. >>on u.s. 10 genuine reaction to to hearing that this might happen one. what was your reaction? >>i was saddened, i am very fearful. i think it, you know, even if this is the wake-up call, that pro choice need because they are in the majority in the country. i fear it's coming too late. a president trump was able to appoint 3 justices to the supreme in some cases with the assistance of some democrats. and once those justices are on the bench, they serve lifetime terms. so i am i am very fearful. >>of of obviously this opinion as well as a potential decisions to come in the future. donna, thank you so much for joining us. you know, will continue speaking with you as this unfolds over the next several days and weeks.

thank you so much. you're watching kron on. we'll have more news after the break.
