Lila rose, in southern california, welcome to hardtalk. Thanks for having me, stephen. Its a great pleasure to have you on the show. Ijust wonder if, right now, you feel you are wrestling with the law of unintended consequences. You welcomed that Supreme Court decision to overturn roe v wade, but since that happened a couple of years ago, its become clear that most americans do not want to see a womans right to choose an abortion to be outlawed and overturned. Thats become a big problem for you, hasnt it . Well, to be clear, the majority of americans actually support abortion restriction, stephen, which is not the case for pro abortion activists in this country. So those that are bewailing the overturning of roe v wade and Planned Parenthood are some of these very activistic, pro abortion groups, they dont want any Abortion Restrictions. And as you know, even in most european countries, abortion is largely restricted after the first trimester. Thats not so in the United States. In fact

Right now President Biden is on his way to new york where hes slated to meet with World Leaders at the United Nations General Assembly, including ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The stakes could not be higher for the ukrainian leader as his country faces an Uphill Battle in its counteroffensive against russian forces. Hes expected to seek more support from the u. S. And its allies. But as the president prepares for another moment on The World Stage, hes facing Major Political headaches back here in washington. House republicans are moving forward with an Impeachment Inquiry against him. When asked about it at the white house earlier this afternoon, he laughed and told reporters his response to mccarthy is, quote, lots of luck. And thats just one fight up on capitol hill.
