this law is exactly what we re seeing here in texas. where just recently in the rio grande valley, a young woman was arrested and criminally indicted for terminating a pregnancy. that is the next layer of what we are likely going to face if roe is overturned. and i know it may sound completely dramatic to say that, but i can assure you, there are lawmakers here and around this country, that s their next goal. and that s where we are headed. yeah, i don t think there s any language in dealing with will we re learning tonight that is overly dramatic. for example, the law that samuel aledo is probably upholding in this decision
not see this in isolation there is a playbook that runs thickly between racial oppression in the united states and that baked into law. let s remember that states rights laws that s the jim crow playbook. and what we re about to see is the jane crow playbook, which is going to be the companion to the jim crow playbook. we ve seen that revisited through voter suppression, and now we see quite explicitly is that this court under its current formation is ready to yank the rug out from underneath what you ve described as a 49 year protection that was not a close decision a 7 to 2 opinion with five of those justices been republican appointed, and justice black man who wrote the opinion row being placed on the court by richard nixon. so what we see is completely antithetical to republican history of prescott bush being
matter who has impregnated them, including their fathers including any incest victim, this is what these people are saying should be the law of the land. these children should have absolutely no options. cecilia richards, you ve known this about their rhetoric for decades, but now it s a reality, now they re saying and writing to children, if you are pregnant as a child you must, you must have that baby. that s right, lawrence. the cruelty and then humanity of all of this and these laws is indescribable. but i want to go back to something that wendy said about the pace that just happened in texas. because it s not only that they were jailed for 11 million dollar bond, they jailed a 26-year-old young woman in south texas, but under texas law, when she found out she was
possible that we codified the roe v. wade above anything the court can put in or take, away but that s going to require majority vote in the house and senate. i think that they should break the filibuster for it, i think if this draft opinion becomes the law, it is a huge list step back for women in decades, for reproductive justice and for reproductive feed him. i think here, lawrence, is the most telling facts in this draft opinion, if it does become the law, it upholds the mississippi law. the mississippi law, had no exception for rape or incest. so it s just a flat ban. so if mississippi is a okay, any other state can do that, or possibly, lawrence, if there are republican takeover of the house in the, senate congress could pass a law banning abortion in all 50 states. so this is a dramatic win, if it becomes the law of the
possibly can justices who decided it. yeah, and also just 30,000 foot view, it s 2022 and america is going to outlaw abortion? mexico just legalized it, you know i m saying? there s a way in which the fast retrograde politics of the new wright puts us on a very different timeline, then the way we think of ourselves as a mature democracy. this is a decision, the repercussions of how this draft came to light we ve only started to understand the basic implications of that, and kind of radicalism that you re describing. but what this means for women in the very short term will not be theoretical this will be a very practical, thing and this will change the lives of women of every station but particularly women without resources, marginalized women, and women who are pouring can t work around the law in a case like this. this will fundamentally change women s lives, this, year this
