states we are going to show you them shaded in purple on a map that the pro-choice gutmacher institute says are certain or likely to ban abortion based on currently in books or transient states but that is just the effect today of the supreme court s 5-4 decision. what happens tomorrow and months and years from this moment? that, we don t know. in fact, many democrats tonight are expressing concern that the decision could provide legal justification to overturn other rights, secured by supreme court precedent. including those covering contraception and same-sex marriage. and they have reason to be concerned after justice clarence thomas suggesting doing just that today as well. this is what justice thomas wrote in a concurring opinion, quote, for that reason? future case, we should reconsider all of this court s substantive due process precedence, including griswold lawrence, and obergefell. he continues because any due process decision is demonstrably erroneous. we have a
the error established in those precedence. in layman s terms, it means the conservative majority would revisit cases if justice thomas gets his way that affirmed a right to contraception. one that made same-sex activity legal and the third establishing the right of gay couples to marry. it is certainly a lot to take in tonight. we begin with the decision itself, and the reaction outside the court. cnn law enforcement correspondent whitney wild is outside the supreme court building. so what have you been seeing and hearing from people around the court today? well, anderson, what is very clear is that people who are out here protesting this opinion are angry but they are not they they are angry and they are disillusioned but they believe this is not the end. it s said they are going to take this effort, and redirect it to the states. so, this is certainly not the conclusion but instead, anderson, represents a new chapter. however angry they are about that today, have said over and
states because new york is the melting pot where people come from all over the u.s. and all over the country ask we have seen all ages here. and you see the signs. their body, their choice. why does scotus want us dead? the hardest choice in a woman s life is not yours. fine, a fight. quick question for you. when you this morning, when you heard the news, what was your first thought? very shocked not shocked, actually. we knew this was going to happen but very, very, very disappointed and angry as you can see. that is a common word we hear. people are extremely angry. once again, anderson, no confrontation whatsoever even though thousands of people marching down these narrow streets. i can tell you unequivocally, there are anti-abortion act visits who are here but maintaining a very low profile ask staying very quiet. gary, appreciate it. thanks very much. new york governor kathy hochul saying quote access to abortion is a fundamental human right it remains safe, accessible,
the um permission for the the guarantee of same-sex marriage. i mean, this is um the dream come true of the conservatives who have been pushing the court, um, for decades. they have been frustrated and now they have they have won an absolutely total victory. yeah. senator davis, i mean, justice alito in that leaked opinion had said this this wouldn t necessarily relate to other uh other rights that have been recognized over the last, you know, few decades. justice thomas certainly went right to the heart of that today. he did. you know, i will give him credit for being transparent because we all know that s where this is headed. and i think we need to be very thoughtful about how proactive we can be, in both red and blue states, to protect some of those rights at the state level. understanding that that is what
is talking about, you know, we need to have a national codification of roe v. wade. if there is a republican congress and republican president, they can pan it in the whole country. jeff toobin, wendy davis, appreciate you being on tonight. coming up, more on the nationwide reaction to the divisive supreme court ruling and cori bush joins us from the last remaining abortion clinic where she herself got an abortion after being raped. you t your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. a monster was attacking but the team remained calm. because with miro, they could problem solve together, and find the answer that was right under their nose. or. his nose.
