oh, my god. bipartisan action on the issues of guns. congress passing that bill exactly one month to the day of that horrific massacre that occurred in uvalde, texas. this bill doesn t do everything i want. it does include action that is will save lives. the pride parade in oslo canceled after a shooting near a gay bar killed at least two people and hurt eight others. i m pamela brown in washington. you are in the cnn newsroom. angst and euphoria as a divided nation reacts to the supreme court s most life-changing ruling in decades. today protests have spilled across the country including outside the supreme court. one day after five justices overturned the landmark roe v. wade decision after nearly 50 years. american women no longer have a constitutional right to an abortion and 26 states are expected to enact laws banning abortion. for opponents of abortion rights and many conservatives it is a breathtaking victory decades in the making and seemed completely out
that s why their disapproval is going up. how does support for legal abortion break down by states? i think this is obviously the big question going forward. you had the legal analysts on before. this goes back to states. if you look at an average poll since 2012, you do see there are a number of states where opposition outruns support. it s mostly in the southeast but it s also in the plain states and this is where a lot of the states do have those trigger laws that are going to outlaw abortion but i will also note, we have a midterm election coming up in about four and a half months. lit be very interesting to see democrat candidates in states like pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin where the clear majority support legal abortion. it s not just about federal election, it s about state level leks. i think it will be a lot of democratic candidates for governor who will run on abortion rights because the fact is, it s more popular than not many the majority of states. all right. th
that experience and yesterday we woke up with a reproductive freedom, 10:15, we lost it. in ohio by the end of the day as i was standing with a rally and protesters in toledo about 2,000 people, we lost our right to have an abortion when the ag supported dewine s effort to put in the heartbeat bill which means that if there is a fetal presence at six weeks, you whether rape or incest is involved, you cannot get an abortion. and so we have these draconian bills now being enacted. just like the nation, ohioans do not support losing our personal freedoms, privacy and reproductive choice for women especially, so, you know, this is heart wrenching and i go back to 1973 in high school. 1974, i graduated. we had this right and it is a complete nightmare.
abortion and also just to update viewers we were having a conversation previously with kristan hawkins and said 26 women had died after taking the pill. the fda says 26 out of 4.9 million have had adverse effects after taking the pill. so clearly a statistical very small number. no direct link. wanted to make that clear to our viewers. go ahead. so the access to these pills is also crucial for these women that are in states that are banning abortion, correct, in fact, president biden in his speech yesterday said, look, there s not much i can do but two things i will try to protect, that is, one, women being able to travel to out of state to get these abortions and, two, their ability to have access to medicinal abortion pills because that really is one way, an easy way to be able to get the treatment if they need it. if they re in a state where it is banned so the government, president biden is going to try to make sure these are still accessible to women but once again this is anoth
you. when people said when roe versus wade was wiped out it turned this into two separate americas, the states that will have abortions and the states that ban it but it will be much more complicated. the states that ban it, there s no limitation organization guidelines how to do it. they can decide whatever they want to do. after 15 weeks, they can ban it after the heartbeat. they can say there s exceptions to the mother s health or rape or incest or they can say no abortion ever whatsoever. they have some of these cases like you said they had trigger laws ready to go as soon as roe was wiped out. there are some other states like west virginia have old laws on the back, an 1882 law that banned abortion and made it a felony, a ten-year imprisoned felony dormant during roe. that is the law that s in place and have to choose whether to enforce it or change it. all the states are looking at their laws right now. some are changing them. some are making them stronger than before because wit
