but we are so grateful to have you spending your morning with us. we re thrilled to have you with us. it is a bittersweet morning here at cnn. it is christi s last day with us at new day. we ll have a lot to say about that. share some good-byes later this hour. stick around for that. we do want to begin with the breaking news, what is happening in ukraine. yeah, because the war there is looming over a meeting of g7 leaders in europe right now. there were explosions that rocked the ukrainian capital of kyiv today. the ukrainian airport says between 4 and 6 missiles were launched at consekyiv. president biden is going to try to keep u.s. allies aligned against russia, even as he faces anger and frustration back home over inflation, the rising cost of food and gas and legitimate fears of a recession. he and other leaders will look for ways to punish russia, while also managing a global economy that has become shaky. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is expected t
right to intimate sexual relationships, nothing changes in relationship to marriage equality today. but we know that the opponents of equality are going to be coming for us and we are going to be ready to fight back. president biden is making the case to voters that this november roe is on the ballot, trying to motivate the base. what is your message to voters? roe is on the ballot. all of our freedom is on the ballot. i think unfortunately what we saw happen here with roe being overturned is that folks who have had a long game who have placed justices on the supreme court to achieve exactly their reaction that we re seeing here, i think it is important to say, precedent does get overruled all the time. this is not a normal overruling of precedent. this was a political strategy, which has finally paid off. a long-term political strategy. so we absolutely have to make sure that we re out there voting. we also have to vote at the
they use their frozen embryos. and this has become even more concerning for them. so they re asking for some of their embryos to be moved to states, where they ll be able to make decisions about their embryos because i think that will become something that is restricted with these trigger laws that have occurred in the 13, maybe 22 states. not only the trigger laws, in terms ofbryos from state to sta, but this could make accessing ivf more expensive and it is already a very expensive process. what are your great concerns at this point, your most urgent concerns for your patients and their abilities in this case? these are very important. people are considering moving tissues and companies are considering moving patients.
grateful to have you this morning. let s start with the direct impact of the roe decision for the lgbtq community. what is at stake here? there is a lot at stake here for lgbtq folks, including that lgbtq people need abortions. we need abortions, we need access to birth control, we need access to fertility services, we need access to abortions. we need access to a lot of different protections that roe was able to provide us and the fall of roe is tremendously concerning. it is outrageous, it is scary, and, you know, all of the outrage that folks are showing in the streets, it is unfortunately well deserved. there is also concern about what next the supreme court may undo in the way of what many feel are constitutional rights. and one of them, specifically mentioned by justice clarence thomas is the ober feld case, the same sex marriage case, give
us your thoughts, your concerns about that potentially being undone. yeah, well, look, this is all part and parcel with roe being overturned. it was a really important case for a whole body of case law which protects people s rights to privacy, to liberty, to things that are not the government s business to be able to regulate. and among the cases that rely on this case law is, yes, the obergefell decision. as roe has been in the balance, this is of course something we all have been really concerned about. justice thomas in his opinion which i should say he was the only one to share, he didn t have any other justices sign on to it, but he did explain in no uncertain terms what is at risk here. and it is important that we be ready. you know, nothing changes for marriages today. nothing changes in terms of the
