abortions on federal lands in and around states that are banning the procedures. vice president kamala harris seemed to pour cold water on this idea. yesterday she said it is not right now what we are discussing. but apparently the biden administration is discussing this. we will do everything within our power in the administrations through the executive branch to ensure that women have access to the medication they need. by the way, fda approved. and that they will have freedom of travel and not the travel should be unrestricted. according to the vice president vice president, they are focused on helping women travel across state lines to get abortions and also to obtain abortion pills across state lines. not on the table according to her is helping women get abortions at national parks, wilderness areas, military reservations. these are what constitutes utter lands.
it. the inner circle really. right. let s talk about the other things. i want to talk about roe v. wade and the messaging out of the white house. by the way, good evening to both of you. guy, welcome. i want to talk to you about the dana bash s interview with the vice president, kamala harris, vowing that the white house will do everything to help women in post-roe world. more from this exclusive interview now, let s watch. we will do everything within our power as administration to make sure women have access to the medication they need which has been, by the way, fda approved, and that they will have freedom of travel and that that travel should be unrestrict the. you are going to do that through the courts if need be? i am sure that our department of justice is going to do that based on every statement that the attorney general has made. she didn t offer many spechks. the draft rule overturning roe
and here s what they did. the court actually took a constitutional right that has been recognized for half a century and took it from the women of america. that s shocking. when you think about it. in terms of what that means in terms of democratic principles, in terms of the ideals upon which we were founded, about liberty, about freedom. you know, i thought about it as, you know, a parent. we have two children who are in their 20s. a son and a daughter. i thought about it as a godparent of teenagers. i thought of it as an aunt of preschool children. and a woman yourself. and a woman myself. and the daughter of a woman. and a granddaughter of a woman. and you know, my husband and i are actually talking about it. we have a 23-year-old, and my
