now, initially, the roe v. wade and abortion was not playing that role because when roe v. wade was handed down by the court in 1973, the catholic bishops jumped into fight it. well, the protestants were not going to join up with something the catholic bishops were running so they hung back. and it was several years before the protestants came in. of course, they did finally and now they have kind of taken over the movement and that is just fine. everybody is working together fine against abortion. but it was in about 1976 that we realized that one of the reasons the feminist wanted e.r.a. was they felt it was the key to locking of abortion funding into the constitution. the supreme court had handed down a decision -- the harris v. roe decision which said you do not have a cost of delusional right to have your abortion paid for. but they wanted it paid for and they thought they could get that through e.r.a. because they would charge that it was sex discriminatory to deny this money. and of course, they made that case in a number of courts and they have made it elsewhere too

v wade? the easiest way is don't get pregnant. contraception. in america our teen birth rate is 13 per thousand and seven france it is seven per 1000 in canada it is six per thousand the difference is widely acceptable sexual education courses in schools and birth control. people in america are vocal pro-life are also anti- contraception. that fascinates me but if you tell me you are the voice of the unborn here given this fetus a voice i understand where you come from. contraception there is no baby yet. that's the whole point you're not talking about the unborn anti- contract one - - contraception now you control women's sexuality. i have a problem with that. regular clientele said you have given me so much to think about and one set i am catholic and pro-life i don't believe in contraception. i would love to talk to you about this. we went back and forth with six or seven e-mails but the terrific discussion. she sent me an excerpt from the vatican quarterly and it was from an excerpt from

kagan was thinking about roe v. wade, and wanted to stake out her ground on establishing a strong deference where possible. roberts did not care when he ago, janice a couple years so am a little bit skeptical that justices on either side bet can -- either side can completely principled, to tell you the truth. i think there is a longview versus specific outcome going out on both the left and the right. is a little unfair to say that the progressive justices and the liberal justices are the only ones who do that. >> i guess if i can briefly rebut that and echo what samantha said, the problem for ,he legal conservative movement for the past 35 to 37 years, there is a repeated pattern of liberal justices voting in lockstep on repeated issues of the day. we saw that in espinosa -- every so often we get -- in cake shop -- there are literally in some where they do the wrong thing. all it takes is one justice to the fact, and the conservative side tends to lose. this gets to a broader theme, which i get to in my recent writ

he will cosign roe v. wade and make reducing maternal materiallmortalityespecially foa top priority. >> laura: it's amazing talking about infant mortality in the same as support for planneds parenthood to. >> joe biden has always try to have it both ways here. look, he says that it's not the ten commandments, it's theol culture that i'm holding onto. this is why bishops have denied him communion. you can as a catholic go out and continuously defy church teachings as something as basic as life, and this is a candida candidate, he wants to do planned parenthood fully, fund it, wants to codify roe v. wade as you heard from the lady there. and look, the little sisters of the poor, claims he loves the nuns but he's about that he would take the little sisters to court to get them to pass contraceptives onto the employees. it's not his personal piety. he may even be more personally pious then president trump. that's not why americans vote for a candidate. you vote because they are following a moral code that you

he will codify roe v. wade, and make reducing mortality for women of color a top priority. >> laura: there something quite amazing about talking about infant mortality in the same paragraph as support for planned parenthood. >> joe biden has always try to have it both ways, here. in his memoir he says, and i as much a cultural catholic as i am a theological one. if it's not the prayers, it's not the ten commandments, it's a culture that i'm holding onto. this is why bishops have denied him come human. you can't go out and continuously defy church teachings on some because basic is life. this is a candidate who is going to have planned parenthood fully funded, he wants to codify roe v. wade, as you heard from that lady, and the processors of the poor, he claims he loves the nuns, but he vows to take them to court to get to know him to pass contraceptives onto their employees. there is a big continuity here. that's not his personal piety, nobody doubts that. he might be more personally piles, but that's not

[cheering and applause] but, i am old enough to remember what it was like before roe v. wade, and i do not want to return to the time when we made criminals of women and their doctors. [cheering and applause] jobs. education. health care. these are not just commitments from my lips. they are the work of my life. [cheering and applause] our priorities must be clear. we will put our people first again. [cheering and applause] but priorities without a clear plan of action are just empty words. to turn our rhetoric into reality, we've got to change the way government does business, fundamentally. until we do, we'll continue to pour billions of dollars down the drain. the republicans have campaigned against big government for a generation. but have you noticed? they've run this big government for a generation, and they haven't changed a thing. they don't want to fix government. they still want to campaign against it, and that's all. [cheering and applause] but my fellow democrats, it's time for us to realize that we've got some changing to do, too. there is not a program in g

v wade. we don't want judicial appointments as a bundled outcomes but that will interpret the law. but really the upside was because the unique nature. people forget how worried congress was him winning the nomination 21 - - 25 percent of the people voted him only because of the supreme court issue. there was an open position the first a lot of conservatives who trusted senator cruise that he had to make that public commitment because he needed to show on those judicial issues. it might not be the case that you need a future candidate to have a history of to do something like that again i don't know if it's good practice. here is the short list the secretary of defense. i'm not so sure that's a good idea because they need that flexibility. turning into a coalition government. to say i wouldn't support you but secretary of education or something and that presidency the way we see. >> we expect the senate to play some sort of role as a silent check in the background. i suppose you want a presid

he promised to codify roe v wade. he has promised to repeal the hyde amendment and mexico city policies that will allow taxpayer-funded abortion. these are the things joe biden is not telling the voters. todd: i want to get one more question. you pointed out the difference that exists with biden as a practicing catholic, abortion not real big in the catholic faith and kamala harris very pro-abortion. do you see religion swaying the black vote in swing states where that vote could make the difference as to who is in the white house next year? >> no doubt about it. there are 21 million pro-life democrats, since by reverend martin bear that out. the democrat party as a crisis of god. in 2012 a. placing god back on the platform and the democratic caucus taking god out of the pledge of allegiance. the dog community is a faith community. 7% of the black community our churchgoers. they have a problem. >> we will have you back to talk about this issue that will be big the next few months. coming up in the next hour of "fox an

the last thing this country needs is a supreme court that overturns roe v. wade. [applause] we will remove all the old barriers so that those who are called disabled can develop all their abilities. and we will also widen the circle of opportunity for all americans. and we will vigorously enforce all our civil rights laws with the budgets and personnel that are necessary. [applause] and hear me well. we will pass the employment non-discrimination act. [applause] and -- [applause] and we will honor the memory of matthew shepard and joseph ileto and james byrd, whose families all joined us this week, by passing a law against hate crimes. [applause] they are different. we need to embody our values in that new law. it's time. [applause] we will honor the hard work of raising a family by doing all we can to help parents protect their children. parents deserve the simple security of knowing that their children are safe, whether they're walking down the street, surfing the world wide web, or sitting behind a desk in school. to make families safer, we passed the toughest

as president, joe biden will codify roe v. wade and protect the constitutional right to choose. what is your response to that. >> i mean, that just shows the importance of getting donald trump reelected as the president for another four years. this is critical. and you know, we talk about supreme court justices all the time but i think we do have -- there is a very real chance that we will have two liberal openings on the supreme court and if we do not fill those liberal spots with -- if we fill them with conservative supreme court justices, pro-life supreme court justices, i believe that in my lifetime and in yours, we will see the overturning of roe and doe. if we do not do it with a biden harris presidential ticket, then i don't believe that i will see the end of roe and doe in my lifetime will. rob: abby in the 30 seconds we have remaining pro-lifers are anti-women and want to make this a referendum basically trump vs. women. how do you respond to that? >> there is nothing more antiwoman than abortion. the abortion industry preys on vulnerable women. they exploit them. the p

roe v. wade is the law of the land. he is pro-life. a long time devout catholic. someone who goes to church and doesn't golf on sundays. president trump did not get support from religious people in this country because they thought he was a man of god. he cheated on all of his wife's for god's sakes. he will appoint justices that are pro-life. he will put conservative people in positions of power. they made a deal with the devil and said we have to go for him. to challenge joe biden's faith is shameful. >> harris: thank you both. still no electrical power for millions on the east coast followi following hurricane isaias. our chief meteorologist is next. how they gonna pay for this? they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident. cut! is that good? no you were talking about allstate and... i just... when i... accident forgiveness from allstate. click or call for a quote today. >> ♪ >> harris: more than one million people still without electricity across the new york tri-state area. tropical storm isaias knocke

v. wade. but the truth, to pretend if there's going to be a personal examination of the two party nominees that somehow donald trump comes ahead, you don't have to be a michigan wolverine fan to think that lou holtz is pretty off-base. >> well, yeah. first and foremost, the president who literally used armed guards to chase people away from a church for a photo op is not really a demonstration of religious beliefs or love of god. and it's not about worshipping christianity, or anything like that. it's about worshipping donald trump. if jesus showed up tomorrow, a black guy with locks, and said donald trump shouldn't be the guy you vote for, he would probably be locked up. >> you're giving me au autobiography of malcolm x vibes. do you remember the book? >> i do. but the other thing is, you talk about the judges that donald trump has put into office. this is a key issue that i think other people have written about, how important the judges are. yes, they may be pro-life, anti-abortion jud

. >> i would codify roe v. wade. >> i would come out with the amendment. >> voters have to decide. do you want a pious individual undermining the faith he professes or somebody a little uncomfortable with faith personally but has gone out of his way to protect religious liberties, conscious rights and certainly the most pro-life president we have ever seen. >> laura: raymond, we have to go but he has virtually been silent when it comes to the church, or some, vandalizing, smashing statues of saints and st. mary come i did not hear him criticizing aoc trashing the most revered saint ever who helped lepers. where is biden? he's completely mute. but he's meal on attacks on christianity, important christian symbols. so maybe trump sees it a little differently. >> it is emotional argument, emotional faith and very little underneath it. >> laura: raymond, great to see you welcome back. up next a tribute to fallen officers has been vandalized. it was vandalized by blm minutes after painted appear at the artist who painted it is here. you better believe he is angry next. in the morning, i

so those divisions and those antagonisms, they play out even in the roe v wade case itself. the ultimately hurt the feminist movement. >> it is heartbreaking also especially with the people who i interviewed who were, lesbians who were also dedicated to women, feeling they had to make a choice this homophile movement is complete dominated by men there emphasis is on women's who were pushing out with the lavender. we'll end up happening is a lot of these organizations that are over lesbians. whether it's the menace themselves, but i think also, yes the homophile movement did borrow from or even really the gate liberation borrowed from women's liberation. you had especially in the protest. especially in women burning their bras at the ms. america pageant. because pet was a very powerful, visual demonstration. focus on creating the physical spectacles in the real shame of it all is that if anyone has seen ms. america, is really not the best friends to lesbians. it was like really, really in tackiness to. then you have the lavender menace. have the exact same spectacles, right w

v. wade being at risk, i ultimately believe will turn on november 3rd. >> we will see. jenna, tressie, thank you both. >> we'll get into why the u.s. postal service is so important in this election. plus, latinas running for congress hoping to make history. we'll talk to three candidates about their message to voters next. r message to voters next ♪ ♪ perfect. -you're welcome. i love it. how'd you do all this? told ya! wayfair. let's talk dining tables. yes! blow it up. ♪ wayfair you've got just what i need ♪ i appreciate what makes each person unique. that's why i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. almost done. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ start your day with secret. secret stops sweat 3x more than ordinary antiperspirants. with secret, you're unstoppable. no sweat! try it and love it or get your money back. i a

there's more i want to hear from him when it comes to protecting roe v. wade. all of us can listen for different things we want to hear. at the same time i think what we have to fundamentally ask ourselves in this moment is who do you trust to have that conversation with, to be in those struggles with come november 3rd and then going forward? and to my mind that's joe biden and kamala harris. and, look, i also felt like and y'all are not going to take my joy because i loved tonight. i'm not going to have it right now because, you know, i felt inspired by that speech. and i didn't expect to be perfectly honest. >> okay. >> so i loved it, and i understand what he was trying to do. that does not take away from the seriousness, though, of the point that angela was making. >> i got you. i understand. i get what you're saying, but as you said these are broad speeches. i think a nod is great. people don't want to hear specific policies in a speech that is -- angela, i just don't think it's strategic in this moment. i don't think there's enough clarity around the issue

v. wade. we want to hav guarantee of afrdable quality childcare, unable to unleash t full pow of women. we also want to have strength in social security and equalayl for eqork, and who's standing in the way? mitch mcconnell and donald ump, to name a fe of our women-oriented priorities to unleash the power of women >> woodruff: you have been -- you're in san francisco butd you've attenny conventions, a lot of us have. this is different, by necessity. but do you think we're looking at the way conventions are going to be, going forward? >> this is my 15th convention, my first when i was 12 years old going with my father, mayor of baltimore, my whole family, telling americans we take the whole family to a cnvention, where would we go? but that was interesting. but i do think it was beautifully, magnificently handled, and as the chair of the convention in san francisco, 1984, as chair of the host committee of the covention, i've played every role. i have been chair in one convention in the pl

v. wade, bob casey was told there was no room for him at the podium at bill clinton's convention and no room at the inn. [booing] yet -- yet a militant leader of the homosexual rights movement could rise at that same convention and say, "bill clinton and al gore represent the most pro-lesbian and pro-gay ticket in history." and so, they do. bill clinton says he supports school choice, but only for state-run schools. parents who send their children christian schools or private schools or jewish schools or catholic schools need not apply. [booing] elect me, and you get two for the price of one, mr. clinton says, of his lawyer-spouse. [chuckles] and what does hillary believe? well, hillary believes that 12-year-olds should have the right to sue their parents, and hillary has compared marriage and the family as institutions to slavery and life on an indian reservation. well, speak for yourself, hillary. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting] friends -- this, my friends, is , abortion on dema

they were all selected by the federal society ran plainly -- the aim was to bring down roe v wade. okay. so you had the judges. so you have this political side of things and then how do you square that with this plainly, morally one thing human being. and that has been a particular interest. on the way it has happened they read trump back into the bible to king david and king cyrus. king david king david said he's good to be the king but not a pastor in cheek here. and that seems to have taken up, king cyrus is even more popular on the evangelical side, he was the king who let the jews out of babylonian cac entering captivity as he was king of the persians. brought about the jews being freed and from that point of view, what trump represents is god's deliverance of someone who is not of us. but can deliver us. >> so it's, it seems as though it's almost as if it was inevitable or necessary in order to maintain, or come to terms with this extraordinary bit, that the bible turns out to be the answer. we went okay. let me now having more or less tried to cover the territory, the range

in the early 1970s no one is talking about abortion until after vote -- roe v. wade. equal rights amendment -- etc. everyone looked at that and thought, this is obvious. women are going with the party that is moving in what was understood as the feminist direction. that understanding was pretty much debunked in social science almost immediately. the truth is that women and men don't hold dramatically different different positions on things like abortion and equal rights amendments. maybe sexual harassment and equal pay. those sorts of things, but they are not very large. another thing to say to that is that again, women have lots of interests. women might say that they prioritize those issues a little more. they probably do, but it doesn't mean that those issues override other interests in the state of the economy, in war and peace as you suggested, etc. the last addendum i will give -- i give the answer to all questions. you need to prepare yourself. my students will attest to that. our general model of democratic politics is that we look around the world and say thi

v. wade, the dominance in that discourse among politically active conservative women. one of the ways i look at this on the father of a boy with down syndrome. i think about sarah palin who is a mother of a boy with down syndrome almost the same age as my son. i think about that discourse and disability rights movement and that also talks in the last question is mothers. the specific motivation around disability rights. sarah palin, kathleen morris and i agree a lot of things on disabilities in schools and we disagree in so many of the. things i don't know exactly what the point is but that is clearly part of the history, that's part of the role of motherhood, who or disability rights has a place of connection. >> we've got about five, ten minutes left so please come on up. >> this is more of a comment. elizabeth perry was president of the society for the historians of the gilded age in the progressive era. her and i served enough bodies executive committee for a number of years i just w

v. wade. the dominance of that discourse among politically active conservative women. one of the places i look at this, i'm the father of a boy with down syndrome. i think about sarah palin and cathy mcmorris rodgers, both mothers of sons with down syndrome almost exactly the same age of my son, and i don't know the exact age, but about 11 to 13, and my son is 12. i think about that discourse and the disability rights movement, and that touches on the last question as mothers, the ways in which the specific motivation around disability rights, sarah palin and cathy mcmorris rodgers and i agree on a lot of things related to disability in schools and disagree on so many other things. anyway, i don't know exactly what the point is there, but clearly, that is part of the history as well, part of the role of motherhood and this engagement in disability rights as a place of actual connection. >> we have got about five to ten minutes left. please come up. >> thank you. this is more of a comment

"i will vote only for the supreme court nominees that have explicitly acknowledged that roe v. wade was wrongly decided by explicitly acknowledged i mean on the record and before they were nominated. do you agree that there should be a litmus test? guest: i have the greatest respect for him, we clerked together on the 10th circuit, and i have known them for a long time and i think he is very smart and is the future of the party, and i understand where he is coming from and that when judges disappoint there is some frustration, and i understand his desire that have judges that understand that there are critical, and their limited role is to interpret the law and not to create the law. they are not legislators, that is not our system of government. , theongress writes the law executive branch enforces the law and the judicial branch interprets the law. i do not think we should have a litmus test and there are several reasons. the first is that we do not -- i did not think it is ethical for judges to go into a back room with a senator and promise that senator how they are going to

beth is in many ways the future of america could be in a post roe v wade world, a young girl who has run out of options, gone to get a judicial waiver, something happens with the judge who can to be there today and it is already pass the legal limit to get an abortion in the state of mississippi so she takes matters into her own hands and ordering online which is illegal and in many states, personhood statutes come into play. there is one in the ballots in alabama on tuesday. if you try to facilitate your own abortion you can be tried for murder which is what is happening to beth. i don't see myself as best, but i don't know what that means. at the clinic, obviously not to get an abortion because she's 70 and is there for other healthcare and specifically to point out the reason people go to these clinics is not just abortion care. she is smart and the beating heart of the book. if i could be anyone in the book it would be the abortion provider. >> host: want to show the cover of it, looking at this, ask people what they think the cover. what do you think? >> guest: it is beautiful.
