word on anything at this point, and i certainly don t. everyone sticks around, no one s going anywhere. when we come back, as we started discussing the potential political opportunity, if you can call it that that democrats are already seeing in sochlt some of the polling out in america since the supreme court overturned roe versus wade. stay with us. overturned roe versus wade stay with usthe polling out in e the supreme court overturned roe versus wade. stay with us. the polling out ine the supreme court overturned roe versus wade. stay with us
my team just got back to me that we had taken a sort of a snapshot poll of constituents in my district, and overwhelmingly we asked a single question, by the way. did the court in dobbs overstep its bounds in terms of this decision. 91% of those responded and thousands responded, frankly, said yes, the court had overstepped. it was overwhelmingly clear. we are also in a state where we just had republican majorities in the senate and in the house pass a constitutional amendment against abortion, so we have something to do here, and i want to be clear with voters, we have a job to do. while we need the executives to do everything, we need congress to do everything, voters have to come out. we have to elect pro-choice, anti-filibuster senators. we have the chance in pennsylvania. john fetterman, mandela barnes in wisconsin, tim ryan in ohio,
any decorum in these conversations is another symptom of the extremism on the right. it truly is, and i have been in such bizarre hearings as that, although i was not in that one today, but the lack of decency, the lack of compassion, actually, the ignorance and lack of understanding of what it is to be pregnant, what it is to decide your own future, plan your own families, that s what s always stunning to me. but this has been a decades long march to the stripping away of women and girls rights to privacy, to their self-determination and to their reproductive freedom, so i have to admit to you, i watched it in my own community among a narrow number of folks, faith-based primarily, but what happened here under dobbs is we have a majority on the court, a couple of them seated i think corruptly by an autocrat of a president,
and it turns out they re theo cats, they re actually not six catholics, and i m a catholic so i say this with respect. they re not six catholics on this court, five of whom voted for the dobbs decision, but they are theocrats, they want their faith to determine everyone else s life. for me it is extraordinary upsetting. my daughters-in-law and my granddaughters will not have the rights, the reproductive freedom i had. we have to do everything, we in congress have to do everything to make sure the supreme court does not have the final say. that s why you see us bringing forward legislation yet again this week to protect women s rights. kim, what s so extraordinary about this moment is that both on the court in the thomas opinion, he said we re going further. we re going to do more. we re not just taking away a constitutional right women have had for 50 years. we are doing more and on the american right, they didn t just
families. to our audience, i m sorry that i have to say this, but no, jody hice, women do not give birth to turtles. watch. is there any instance of a woman giving birth to something that is not a human being, a baby, like a turtle? well, there definitely are instances where people have stillborn it s still a baby. i guess the point is it s still a person, is it not? if i can finish. when the court it did so because the consideration was whether or not the fetus can live outside of the body. it s a question of person hood, that s what i m getting to. so if it is a person after birth, it by extension is a person before birth. i really hope people are watching today because the question on the table is about abortion for sure, but actually,
