right of abortion. both sides of the debate gathering outside the high court as america absorbs the news. president biden coming out attacking the decision. it s a sad day for the court and for the country. know with roe gone, the health and life of women in this nation are now at risk. with three justices named by one president, donald trump, with a core of today s decision to upend the scales of justice and eliminate a fundamental right nor women in this country. it s a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error by the supreme court in my view. but this decision must not be the final word. for more, let s go to shannon bream. shannon, we were on television this morning together on america s newsroom as the news broke. you were able to quickly read the decision, discern it. i m wondering now how it s settled in for you. yeah, a couple of things interesting that this morning normally what happens with the supreme court opinion, we have all of the sound an
