texas, my home state, which established this vigilante m mechanism and really encouragede the citizens of the state to spy and report texans who left the state to have abortions.po when you have organized entities with extremist organizations like heritage society, christiat right to life, they are literally disseminating model legislation andss tactics withi the ags and the legislatures. so it s not shocking. our sense of this is they re ou losing the public opinion war on abortion. they are desperate to win back n power and in mississippi, we re know we have folks, the a.g. is currently up for re-election and she ll be in a tough race. this is them fear-mongering i against some of the most t vulnerable americans to try to r score points and they re increasingly desperate base.po so we started covering the ea story when we learned about it
previous police or military experience. that includes so-called oath keepers founder omar storage rhodes who spent seven months in the army before being just charged. our stewart rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to 18 years in prison. the new documentary a crossed become radicalized, here is army veteran michael greens who served in both iraq and afghanistan, and now runs a human rights group. i am not surprised that extremist organizations tried to recruit a vector and store the credibility that we bring. but also for our commitment. and that commitment takes a lot of forms. veterans are people in our society who in many ways have said that i will do whatever is necessary to preserve what i believe in. up to and including violence. punished off their mom doing their whole career. now they re here in the united states, it s a weird feeling. joining us now is charlie said, off he is the writer and director and producer of the
the same right-wing extremist organizations. the same dark money, the same funding, when i say that they cannot untangle them selves, these legislators, cannot detach themselves from their extremist base, this is what we re talking about. so, even though they have the polling in the data and the research, they re hearing from their constituents, they can t stop this. and then you have the domino effect, right, and how this can kind of affect health care overall, looking at this latest survey, out of university, over 50% saying, doctors, very unlikely or that they re unlikely, or very likely, to apply to our residency program. in a state with abortion restrictions, and more than three quarters, saying access to abortion care would influence where they would pursue their residency. you know, in states with abortion bans, we re already seeing hospitals close. we re seeing ob/gyn practices shut down. we re seeing distance in time, for folks to get to care increasing. and there s a re
