in those states that are led by republicans, we re already seeing them move to ban abortion. and notably, anderson, there are some states that have trigger laws that will go into effect the second that roe v. wade is overturned that will ban abortion. in fact, the governor of michigan, gretchen whitmer, has just filed a lawsuit to block a law from going into effect. there is a law in michigan that if roe v. wade is overturned, it will automatically be banned in michigan. jessica schneider, no doubt we ll be coming back to you as events warrant. joining us, jeffrey toobin, former texas state senator, wendy davis, and steve vladeck. jeff, you predicted this would happen. talk about the importance of this. well, i predicted it would happen, but i sure as hell
now up to the politicians. and this idea that it is simply returning the abortion rights to the states is not really correct because what we are seeing in these states that are banning abortion is they are reaching out. they are trying to ban abortion in the whole country. they are banning the use of the males for medical abortion. they are banning travel for abortion purposes. they are criminalizing attempts for members from other states to try to ban abortion within their states. i mean, this is a constitutional earthquake if it stands. and american life, not just american law, will be very different if this is the law of the land. senator davis, what s your reaction to this? it s not surprising,

constitution. this is the state of texas passing a law that everybody acknowledges is contrary to roe v. wade and here for a second time, the supreme court, 5-4, is saying it s okay, leave this law in effect. that s something i have never seen before. it s something roberts, apparently, had never seen before. but i think it s indicative of how aggressive the conservative majority is going to be on the court on this issue and perhaps others. senator davis, the court did allow potential avenue for abortion providers for challenge of the law. but it s always seemed like the point of the law was to make providing abortions so expensive and legally difficult, it s essentially impossible for them to operate in texas. does anything about today s decision change that? no, nothing does. and the only thing the report really opened in terms of a window today is to prevent state licensing authorities from basically taking the license of doctors away under senate bill
