they've been voting on compromise language to codify roe v. wade. is that something you would support? do you expect something like that to be moved to the floor this summer? sen. smith: it's a good question. if there was compromise legislation that was developed, i would have two questions about that legislation. the first is, can we be confident that legislation will protect the fundamental freedoms of roe v. wade and it will stop state legislatures from passing the kind of draconian van or severe limitations on abortion care that we see all over the country. will it protect us from that activity at the state level now that roe v. wade has been overturned? the second question is are there 50 votes in that legislation? i think that is the foundation question. i don't believe there are 10 republicans that would vote to put the protections of roe v. wade into law and that brings me back to the fundamental difference between republicans and democrats. most republicans with one or two exceptions are dramatically out of step with americans deciding for

prior to 1973, roe v. wade came down. there was not a long historical tradition of states protecting abortion. in fact many states, up until the day rosenstein -- roe was decided, they actively discourage abortion in their states. justice alito, this widely decided -- has widely decided that abortion is not a fundamental right found in the text of the constitution and could not be brought into these other constitutional provisions such as the equal protection clause. i think it is important to understand what this decision, which overturns roe v. wade and plan parenthood dies. it is not immediately criminalize all abortions throughout the united states. it simply returns the issue back to the people's elective representatives in the state legislatures, which is where this question resided for most of our nations history up until the court took it out of the vocal process in 1973. host: i want to remind people that if they want to talk to our guest, you can feel free to give us a call on the lines republicans can call (202

roe v. wade was blocking it. now the power has been given back to the people of the state to choose life affirming, life protecting policies that they want in their communities. rep. lee: -- separately what ms. harley just said, was very legitimate. the doomsday calls from those on the left are ignoring common sense. they are ignoring what human instinct tells us about protecting the most vulnerable among us. members of the committee, including some attacking the dobbs decision once shared these views. as i wrap up my remarks, i submit for the record a copy of a letter you wrote on august 4, 1989. you said, among other things "i believe we should end abortion on demand and i continue to believe that the supreme court decision in roe v. wade should be reversed." "small stocks big money" -- >> senator lee and senator urman. sen. lee: lieutenant governor, i agree with you that it is a woman, not a bunch of politicians that should decide her bodily autonomy. as i listen to my colleagues who support the recent supreme

today long last, roe v wade has been sent to history where it belongs. [applause] and america has been good given a new beginning. i'm honored to be here at the florence baptist temple here in south carolina to talk about the opportunities and challenges that we as pro-life americans have in post row america. thank you all for coming out this evening. i'm humbled by this turn out although i think you mostly came for the choir. [laughter] i've never had a director tell me that i needed to sing better. [laughter] no hope of that. [laughter] joined me in thanking the pastor and the wonderful worship team and the wonderful staff here at florence baptist temple. thank you for standing for life all these years. [applause] i was grateful for the pastors introduction but the introduction i prefer is a little shorter. [laughter] i'm a christian, conservative and republican in that order, and itme is my great honor to be with you as such a momentous time in the life of the nation. [applause] we had a chance to spend time together and i so enjoyed that. my life is

without a doubt, the supreme court was right to overturn roe v. wade. it was a moral, legal and constitutional travesty. don't doubt it. the heartbreaking consequences of the roe decision cannot be overstated. under roe, more than 62 million unborn children in the u.s. were aborted. in other words, nearly 20% of our population of our country is gone. lives of incalculable promise. ended before they were born. as countless young women have experienced sorrow and regret that can last a lifetime. the roe decision inflicted tragedy not only on our nation but on humanity. the scale is unprecedented in the history of mankind. under roe v. wade unborn children were segregated devoid of the most basic of human rights. precious babies lives outside the protection of our laws at the mercy of a culture that devalued them and and abortion industry that profited from their suffering. but those days are coming to an end. i believe with all my heart that with roe gone, we have the opportunity to become a more perfect union. make no mistake about it, as we gather tonig

what's -- on some compromise language to codify roe v. wade. is that something that you would support, at least that effort, and do you expect something like that to be moved to the floor this summer? >> sure. it's a good question. and here's how i look at this. there's still issues. one, if there was compromise legislation that was developed, i would have two questions about that legislation. but first is, can we be confident that that legislation is going to protect the fundamental freedoms of roe v. wade, and it will stop states legislatures from passing the kind of draconian bans where severe limitations on abortion -- access to abortion care that we are seeing all over the country? that is the first. questionable to protect us from that activity from at the state level now that roe has been overturned. and the second question i have is, is there 60 votes for that legislation? that's kind of the foundation question. i don't believe that there are 60 -- ten republicans that would vote to put the protections of roe v. wade into law. and that

the protections of roe v. wade are broadly popular in this country, yet the united states senate is not able to act on that view of americans because of senate rules. i'm talking about that, i'm talking about reforming the electoral college or at least having some sort of a net popular nut popular national vote so that presidents you are putting supreme court justices have won the popular vote. and of course have talks also about core form of what we need to do to make the court more accountable. but fundamentally, the most important thing, we can't be too distracted by that right now because the most important thing is winning elections at the state level, and at the federal level. so that the people who are making decisions reflect the views of americans, and that has to. happen that is what this election is gonna be about. i believe it was gonna be on the ballot this november and the contrast between democrats and republicans could not be more clear. >> until the election, which as we said was for death mon

we codified roe v. wade to make it a law. it sits and waits in the u.s. senate. we have to make sure that people know elections have consequences. we have to demand that the other side listens. if they don't listen, we have to make this november an absolute, an absolute case where everybody goes out and votes and demonstrates that the supreme court seeks to take our rights away, we will remove them with new legislation, with new members of congress, with new members of the senate. >> if that message is not set, it will continue as business as usual. i think that if people are angry, they need to vote their anger. thank you congressman troy carter. you congressman troy thank you congressman. joining me now is jaime harrison, chair of the democratic national committee. mister chairman, you are here in new orleans, you addressed the essence festival this afternoon. i addressed it after you. vice president harris is addressing it this afternoon. thank you for joining me. i think it is safe to say, the recent events have gotten, it is given democrats a lot to campaign

wade, but essentially challenging the right to privacy. we have to codify roe v. wade into law, and the way to do that is to make sure the congress was to do that. if the filibuster gets in the way, we should pry provide an exception to this. >> tomorrow, biden will meet virtually with seven democratic governors, to discuss ways to protect abortion access. the president did have two reasons to celebrate today, the supreme court did side with his administration's effort, ike and a controversial trump era emigration program, the biden nominee ketanji brown jackson was sworn in as associate justice today. she is now the first african american woman to sit on the court. we'll have more on that historic moment, later in the hour. with that let's get smarter with the help of our lead off panel, former u.s. attorney joyce vance, who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. she is a professor at the university of alabama school of law, and co-host of the -- neal katyal, department of justice editor, and acting director during the obama administration, has argued dozens of

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

( laughter and applause ) the point is, all five of these people-- ( applause ) here's the thing. abortion continues t

it is truly congress who can do the best job to codify roe v. wade. the democrats, right now, don't have the votes to break that filibuster. that is why they said they need those two votes to be able to break the filibuster. that is, looking forward to the election saying that they need it the majority to pass that law. >> raising the stakes ahead of novembers midterms, is abortion likely to become a referendum issue? is it likely it will be a referendum only of -- issue, given how controversial this issue is. >> the democratics are looking to make it if not a referendum, one of the big issues to talk about ahead of the midterm. joe biden and himself in that speech ahead of the supreme court in november that roe is on the ballot. if you disagree what happened with the supreme court regarding abortion, you need to show up and you need to vote so that the democrats won't have a larger majority in the house, and a larger majority in the senate, so that they can pass those laws specifically in this case, the law codifying roe v. wade. they are trying to m

roe v. wade was uplifting your rights. the shelti case was making it wrong and stopping me from voting. that is what the supreme court of the spirited. i -- that is what the supreme court of this area did. but the idea of ensuring the people's voices heard, the justices granted the equality and liberty is rendered. and we do not stand victim to people's personal desires and beliefs to be able to undermine the heart of what people admire america for, and that is democracy. that is freedom. that is being heard. that is justice. i support this legislation with every aspect of my bones and my body and i believe it is important and crucial that this goes to the desk of the president of the united states. justice is been denied.

wade went into effect? miss hawley? >> so, absolutely. at the time roe v. wade went into effect in 1973, as i mentioned in my opening set testimony, that judicial decision, again decided by seven male authors, overturned the pro-life laws at nearly every single state. if we look back in time to 1868, when the 14th amendment was passed, nearly three quarters of the states criminalized abortion. so, you can look at any point in our nation's history and drive some sort of right-wing abortion. in fact, the opposite is true in our country and the states have long protected life. >> okay. i believe there, what's, either two or three states in which abortion was illegal in 1973. is that right? >> that's correct, but with significant restrictions. >> okay. next question. at the time, he said this before but i think it's something that matters people pondering on as to where we are on morality in this country. the state of ultrasound today, compared to 1973, when almost every state realized that having an abortion, killing that little baby, we've all seen ultrasound

there is so much going on right now, the overturning of roe v. wade has initiated legislation and we will be persistent. the war in ukraine has increased costs at the pump and food costs that hopefully will not continue for too much longer. hopefully if that war could come to some closure. i was talking to someone with knowledge about the russian invasion of ukraine and i said, i was there and what shook me so is the thought that russian soldiers are raping little girls in front of their mothers, kidnapping them and taking them to russia. war brutalize his people. it is so sad to see what is happening to these soldiers. and i was told they are not doing anything they were not instructed to do. any questions? i'm not going to go into january 6. i am very proud of the work they are doing to seek the truth but i do not go into their work. i keep my distance and i am proud we have strong bipartisan initiative to seek the truth, find the truth and as you see the evidence they have, it is from republicans. >> we have been working constantly on the chip

v wade. there will be a limit that makes sense, that is consensus in every single state. there will be a national consensus as well. there probably won't be, is the reality. it means america is profoundly and deeply polarised on this issue. abortion has become one of the most divisive political issues in your nation. do you think it's healthy, partly thanks to millions of dollars you've ploughed into republican campaigns, that it is now impossible to be a pro—choice republican politician? it is simply impossible now. impossible to be a pro—choice republican politician? i hope so. that is our goal, for sure. let me point out, for 50 years, we have not had the blessing of democracy to help form consensus in this nation because of the roe v wade decision. you've had that, every country in europe has had that, not the united states. there is going to be a little bit of work to make up for 50 years of our opinion meaning nothing, state by state. it is absolutely true that there will be consens

beginning with the role -- roe v. wade ruling in 1970's. many of us provide care on the ground have been preparing for this in some way. inspecting it will come particularly when we saw the appointment of so many vocal antiabortion judges in the previous administration. >> what did those preparations look like? >> trying to make sure we can broaden the safety net in the best way we can working with folks like the national abortion fund to help support folks who will need to travel. just for support. >> broadening community-based support is huge. we've also seen a lot of work at it in medical spaces to train more providers and to provide abortion care and to train folks who may have to travel realizing some folks may have to fly in to be able to provide care when abortion is banned in their own community. host: it is early it's only been a couple weeks but what are you hearing about women traveling to other states where abortion services are still available area guest: even before abortion was illegal in 1970 three people traveled for aborti

push to appoint nominees to overturn roe v. wade. that was the box each one of them had to check with the federal society before they could appear before the committee. today three and four americans say they lost faith inan theth supreme court, record low. it's easy to see why. what are we going to do protect the rights? what are we going to do to defend women who've had their rights revoked? we know the republican plan impose a federal ban on abortion, the republican leaders said as much. immigrants have another plan. protect your rights by entering into federal statutory right to abortion. the vast majority of americans access to abortion woman's choice to give an abortion is her choice alone is sitting in the waiting room at the doctor alternative ranking member. >> thank you, mr. chairman. this is a very important hearing. i guess my first life boat february 1972 as a member of the iowa house of representatives, there was a motion before thes house to repeal i was down on abortion. i was one of 44 people in a 44 -- 44 vote that

v wade. witnesses responded to questions about abortion access for women in states that have banned the procedure and the point at which life begins. the committee will come to order. without objection, the committee and the chair is authorized to declare recess of the committee at any time. i recognize myself for an opening statement. we are holding today's hearing at a moment when women across america are feeling sorrow, anger and disbelief. nineteen days ago a right-wing majority on the supreme court fulfilled the republican party's decades long goal of overturning roe v wade and stripped away a constitutional right relied on by generations of american women. the goal of these right-wing extremists is clear, to control the bodies of women, girls and any person who can become pregnant. to be even more clear, the decision means the government can now order people to stay pregnant on paying of criminal punishment. many of us have been warning about this day for years and states have steadily

brett kavanaugh, regarding roe v wade. it is settled as the president of the supreme court entitled the respect under principles of starred. and then amy coney barrett i will obey all rules that if a question comes up before me about whether case or any other case should be overruled that i will follow the law applying it as the court is articulating applying to all factors. professor murray, trying to see where you are. there you are. good to see you. what does that do and imploding, imploding the american concept of justice and the role of the supreme court that has no because the clashes of the american people one at each other because the refuge we look for in civil rights, and marriage, and who to marry in the defense of marriage is no longer there, professor murray? clutch you are exactly right represented leaving the principal the court follows settled presidents in md wrote is it has repeatedly been reaffirmed and tells overruled on june 24 print that provides predictability for individuals the assurance they know

what they say is, roe v. wade is precedent, and precedent has value in this country. but then when push came to shove, their decision was to overrule it in a way that, will have incredible consequences for people in this country for decades to come. they have thrown the issue of abortion into the states where we are seeing all kinds of chaos now as people try to figure out how to navigate that landscape. >> yeah. there is certainly confusion across much of the country, a week after the reversal of roe v. wade. beginning with some states which immediately moved to ban or restrict abortion. but then you have judges that are taking action against some of these laws. looking at florida, kentucky, utah. bans restrictions have been temporarily blocked, and now the texas supreme court has blocked a lower court order from days earlier. that when temporarily allowed the procedures to resume. but now you have the antiabortion group, some of them that are not stopping an abortion bans. yet the washington post reporting that some republicans led state legislatures, they are advan

this is not about codifying roe v. wade. why? because it nationalizes abortion for all nine months of preg pregnancy. all nine months. this would make america as radical as china and north korea. the abortion on demand until birth act would legalize discriminatory abortion based upon sex, race, and disability, including down syndrome. it overrides state laws that protect women from coercion. it would weaken the conscience protections to force pro-life doctors to perform abortions and end a life. this is especially frightening for pregnancy centers, faith-based providers, medical professionals who are using amazing medical achievements in treating both mothers and their babies in the wombs as patients. we are doing prenatal heart surgery today in the united states of america. the abortion on demand until birth act has nothing to do with protecting the health of women. it has everything to do with forcing an extreme agenda on the american people. rather than prey on women's vulnerabilities and fears and nationalize abortion for all
