it will release your fat and it will release you. today in florida, a judge ruled the state s new law banning abortion at 15 weeks is unconstitutional. the law which was signed by governor ron desantis was supposed to go into effect tomorrow and does not include defections for people that become pregnant due to rape or criminal trafficking. the judge says he will issue a temporary state wide injunction. for the first time in our history, a black woman sits on the supreme court. judge ketanji brown jackson was sworn in.
teenage daughter who needed to have an abortion and the parents didn t have consent? i could if that daughter was a victim of rapen or incest in case your party will allow, force that 13-year-old girl to carry her rapist child to term. i just this idea that, you know, i i want to clarify one thing. i think the vice president said it well. the difference between clarence thomas and the rest of the court is that clarence thomas said outloud and mike pence said what many republicans will not say. they want the national if they really believe if they really believe what is happening is a murder, it is inconsistent for you to say a national ban is not the next step. and republicans care about life until the child is born. no, here s and that s where they drop here s the i want to ask this since final statement because the other option is what
to overturn roe v. wade leading to chaos and confusion across the country. tom foreman joins me with the latest on where state abortion laws stand now. hey, don. these are the states that fully implemented outright bans or extreme limits on abortion already. south carolina, alabama, kentucky, ohio, missouri, arkansas, oklahoma, south dakota and texas, which has a strange convergence of some restrictions already in place. more pending and some left over on their law books ng long before roe. after that, this map gets very muddled. for example, there are numerous states where there are waiting periods before bans or new restrictions are put into place, and there are states that face legal challenges which are holding up implementation. louisiana, for example, wanted to automatically implement its ban, but abortion rights activists said that would be

know, criminalization of abortion or contraception or any of those things that relate to reproductive rights. so it s something that we need to be worried about, something i have been thinking about since there was the leak on the of the case that was just decided, the dobbs case. so, yeah, at this point we wait for august 2nd to happen and see what the legislature does. understand that not all people agree about the right to life or right to choose. do you expect to face political ramifications over your decision? yeah. i think that s a great point. we all have different opinions about it. certainly i have gotten a lot of positive feedback on my position. i also had folks who have expressed their unhappiness with my sort of stance on this. i felt like i needed to do so immediately. as we know, after the decision on friday friday there were a lot of americans who were very saddened. i felt like i needed to speak
