ripping off his gloves saying i can t help you anymore. a year later, abortion access is even worse. republicans remain focused on restricting laws that americans overwhelming reject. the body inside a mom s body is not her body. not her body. not her choice. the supreme court may have empowered the states to reshape abortion law. but reproductive rights remain a national issue that the biden/harris administration and congress must respond to. tonight, from dallas, this a state considered ground zero in the national fight over abortion rights, this is one year post-roe a reidout special. thank you for joining me on this special edition of the reidout. my guest is vice president harris. we wanted to bring around this table people whose lives and works were affected by the elimination of the right to an abortion. joining me are genesis sanchez, amanda zarosky, lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against the state of texas. shannon brewer, and dr. todd ivy, an ob-gyn in the
you know, in a third world country. they would help you get that health care. and so to me it s outrageous. and it s also important to note that senator cotton, he s fund-raising off of this. that s what they do. they say something outrageous and then they fund-raise off of it. so unfortunately, it s hurting our national security. he may make money, donna, but 93% of all americans oppose some of the bans that are being backed in places where american men and women are stationed. 87% oppose the bans that eliminate exceptions in cases of rape and incest. 93 oppose the bans in cases where the mother s life is on the line. that isn t just a statistic or question asked. the amanda zarosky who was pregnant with her daughter willow had a tragic miscarriage and almost died because she couldn t access health care in texas. what tom cotton is for is for a woman in the military not having access to what could be life-saving health care.
abortion and the assistant brought this up to us and said y all need to stay in your lane. you don t need to be in politics you re a medical expert, still to medicine. i politely handled it. however my knee jerk response was if you want to keep medicine out of politics, keep politics out of medicine. amen. doctor and amanda, thank you. thank you. we ll be praying that whatever you want in many life will come to you. keep up with us on the lawsuit. so much more ahead with vice president kamala harris and our wonderful guests. stay right there. ful guests stay right there hey, dad. i got an a on my book report. -and i scored a goal on ashley. -that s cool. and i went for a walk in the woods and i didn t get a single flea or tick on me. you are just the best. it s probably because of that flea and tick medicine you ve been ordering from chewy. we are very proud of you. you never stop surprising us, bailey. right? i m great.
texas, and that was one of the main reasons we wanted to open there, help the texas women. mississippi also but they still had other states. so that s what we ve been doing for the last year is getting clinics open. we re working in chicago trying to get a clinic open there. and texas is, you know, obviously ground zero for this fight. you re a part of that story, amanda, in the sense that you are suing the state. talk about why. it started out for me as education, and advocacy, because a lot of people, i think, didn t understand the sweeping impacts that these laws could and are having on real women, including myself. and so, it was a big part of just educating people and helping them understand what s truly happening. but now it s become much bigger than that. and what i hope now is to give a
this kind of care receive it through mifepristone. and so we are dealing with that. we are fighting on also the point that is a fundamental point, no one, regardless of their gender or condition, should be denied access to emergency health care. right. so in our previous panel, for example, we talked with amanda. no one should be denied that. we are fighting in the courts as it relates to that. also, we are fighting on the issue of patient privacy. this is absolutely about the private decisions that individuals should be able to make in consultation with their health care professional and not worry about that information becoming public or being used, for example, by law enforcement. right. one of the things we are doing is fighting against law enforcement having access to this information for the sake of criminalizing someone who just essentially wants health care. but i ll say, joy, the bottom line is this. we have got to understand the connection between this issue in electi
