the supreme court s decision 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 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
unconstitutional under state law. so that now faces a full hearing in court and is temporarily blocked. there is also a temporary restraining order blocking utah s trigger law. mississippi, georgia, idaho, all facing court action. in michigan, there is court action, too, because the governor wants the state supreme court to review a 1931 law banning abortion that is threatening to kick back in again because she wants to protect abortion rights there. west virginia has a very old ban, too. and there some lawmakers think is needs to be updated, but to make it effective. then comes states which could well bring in more severe anti-abortion measures in the wake of the supreme court ruling. florida, indiana, iowa, nebraska, montana, and finally we have some wildcards. states where new bans may show up depending on what happens. kansas, pennsylvania, and let s
democrats want. you democrats are fine with abortion up to delivery. that s unfathomable that they certainly this is that is absolutely on the table how many cases of a woman having an abortion at delivery how many in just give me a number. democrats are fine with that though this is a stocking horse of the republican party. instead of giving women the rights, you want to give mike pence and clarence thomas the rights over a majority of american women that want to choose their own reproductive health choices. okay. more to come. we ll discuss. thank you both. appreciate it. we ll be right back.
happen. that s not going to happen. the supreme court has said this is not in our purview, put it to the states. this is how democracy works best. just a moment. you have mike pence saying, who is campaigning, right, we know he is campaigning he wants to codify anti-abortion legislation into law. so, you know, you have the president, the democrats saying they want to codified pro-abortion language or getting, you know, making it legal. mike pence wants to make it illegal. look, clearly both sides have what they want to do. pro-life side wants to protect life and pro-abortion wants to provide abortion. we can t have what the democrats want to do is the women s health protection agent. that is horrible for the unborn children. this would provide abortions without consent of parents. could you imagine having a teenage daughter who needed to have an abortion and the parents didn t have consent? i could if that daughter was a victim of rape or incest in
leaked almost two months ago. why doesn t the white house have a messaging plan or strategy by now, guy? there are two pieces. first is the immediate need which is being implemented by democratic governors around the country. in places like illinois who are surrounded by states where now abortion is illegal or minnesota. trying to make sure that people havek ses, that there is funding, making sure that telehealth is available to neighboring states and they are a place of welcome for people trying to seek the medical care that just a couple of days ago they were allowed to have. the second piece though, and i want to be clear about this, there aren t a lot of short-term solutions that can happen at the federal level. we can make sure there is unrestricted travel, that people have access to the medicine, but there will not be systemic change until we get it two more seats in the united states senate and pass legislation to send to the president to codify roe v. wade.
