as cathy mcmorris rodgers said, there is a law pending that is the threat to the lives of unborn babies. it will allow abortion right until birth and would eviscerate all pro-life policy from women's rights to no law to parental notification statutes throughout the whole country. it passed the house last september. every one of us voted and spoke against it. and it's pending in the senate. so while this is a major step forward, it is -- it also means we are in an area where we've got to fight even harder to defend these innocent children. again, as i think all of you know, with ultrasound, the visibility of an unborn child is more apparent than ever before. the other side says it's not a human being. what is it you're watching? when mothers give birth to a new baby, long before that, what are the pictures that are on the refrigerator? the pictures of the ultrasound of that unborn child. we want to protect all life. thank you. [applause] my honor and -- introduce ann wagner who is the proud sponsor of the born alive act. mrs. wagner: yes, i am. i represent missouri's second congressional

i am proud to introduce pro-life leader and a ranking member of energy and commerce cathy mcmorris rodgers. [applause] >> first of all, i thank god for this day. thank god that his mercies are new each day and he is the giver of life. and ask for the next 50 years and beyond in our country how are we going to define the greatest human rights issue of our generation? the supreme court decision marks a chance for us to restore hope, restore hope and healing to every family in this country, mom's and children and every stage of life. may begin with each one of us doing our part to protect and celebrate all life in this greatest experiment ever, that the world is ever known. however, speaker pelosi and the democrats are forcing an extreme agenda on america through their abortion on demand and tell birth act it would nationalize abortions all across this nation making america just as radical as china and north korea, legalizes discriminatory abortions at every stage based upon sex raise or disability. overwrite state laws to protect women from coercion. there's no part of this that celebrates t

it's all on the ballot in november >> on the other side, republican cathy mcmorris rodgers focused on portraying democrats as out of touch >> speaker pelosi and the democrats are forcing an extreme agenda on america. through their abortion on demand until birth act. it would nationalize abortion all across this nation, making america just as radical as china and north korea. >> shep, just on the pure politics of this issue, democrats are counting on a boost in energy from their voters going into november, but they already faced a tough electoral landscape and an array of issues that weren't going their way, including higher inflation, rising crime, and president biden's declining poll numbers. it's really anybody's guess whether the new energy on the left if it even materialized, would be enough to offset the trends that are benefitting republicans. back over to you >> thanks very much. >> amy stoddard now, do you participate or anticipate, i should say, this ruling will have an impact on the outcome of the midterms >> i do, if even on the margins this does make a difference. eamon po
