the ban conflicts with a different state law, that codified roe. in north carolina, this week, a judge reinstated a 20-week abortion ban. these laws, of course, have consequences. this week, a louisiana woman is speaking out, as she was 13 weeks pregnant. doctors tell her, her fetus is not viable, and will not be able to develop a skull. devastating news for anyone, but because of louisiana s abortion ban, she will be forced to carry the pregnancy to term. it s hard. knowing that i am carrying it to bury it, you know? joining, the, irvine law professor, and on the issues, podcast, osama show goodwin, is also the officer of policing tulum, invisible women, and the criminalization of motherhood. michelle, louisiana s abortion ban does include exceptions for the mother s life, or if the fetus is not viable, but, the
that is not living the american dream. that is not what people are supposed to expect, who are citizens of this country. but, that is how depraved, and egregious, these times are. that these limited victories, are not really victories at all. they are, basically, being able to survive the night, at a time in which that should not be what people expect in this country. michelle goodman, as always, thank you for walking us through this. they are gripping cuba, leaving millions without power. the come from a political reporter in havana. porter in havana (customer) save yourself?! money with farmers. (burke) that s not wrong. when you bundle your home and auto policies with farmers, you save yourself up to twenty percent. (customer) that s something. (burke) get a whole lot of something with farmers.
mid-term but willing to come out for a primary in the middle of august, that is the question mark. that is exactly what keri lake needs to pull this off. it s not just her but also mark finchem as well as abe humade running for attorney general who s echoed those sentiments as well here. there s a lot of question marks. all the campaigns i talked to there s a lot of ways we could explain whatever result comes out here, but ultimately this is situation i think it s important to note that keri lake is already propagating the idea there is supposed fraud and, quote, irregularities in this primary. we heard donald trump do this ahead of his 2020 election bid, and she s doing that, going around the state suggesting if she were to lose it would be at the hands of her opponent. and one of the the last night it was after their last rally got the opportunity to catch up with her and finally be able to
we are back with michelle goodwin. michelle, attorney general merrick garland today announcing that the doj is going to sue idaho over its near total ban on abortions arguing it violates federal law requiring medical providers to offer emergency medical treatment. i wonder how you see this first post-roe litigation going. well, it s important litigation because what s difficult to determine is that those states that allow for exceptions if life is at risk, well, how much does one need to suffer? we ve already heard cases in the state of wisconsin where a woman bled for more than ten days, where she had an incomplete miscarriage but doctors were really concerned about potential litigation and possible criminal
punishment if they did what would be typical medical advice, which is to right away provide her relief. in the state of idaho what we know is there s been a number of case involving individuals who have gone to emergency rooms that have been turned away. again, doctors fear criminal punishment if they do what is standard for medicine, which is to help people with incomplete miscarriages or who might have atopic pregnancies. and so just what we have is the justice department led by merrick garland stepping in and saying that the emergency medical treatment and labor act applies here and that idaho must stop and must provide care for people who are coming and seeking services, seeking health care while pregnant to be able to find relief including if that means an abortion. a reminder yet again what we re actually talking about here is health care. michelle goodman, thank you as
