criminalizing abortion it seems the supreme court, so overturning roe v. wade, requesting additional fund from congress this week in order to increase the justices security protections to help break down all of this i m joined by university o california irving law professor, and on the issues podcast host host, michelle goodwin she s also - criminalization of motherhood. michelle, i wanted to bring in those five headlines timmy, they paint a bigger picture about what is happenin all across this country. understanding, it doesn t even include the headline that we are waiting and watching for out of texas about what judg does merrick is going to d about one of two major abortio pills on the market. when you look at it, big picture in the aggregate, what does it tell you about the state of reproductive rights i this country well it tells us somethin about a democracy in crisis. it s not just about abortion that is clear and very
walgreens. how do democrats empower nee to counter these tactics we ar seeing from antiabortion movements. what does it look like to have a win that is more than defensive win? first, i think that thi sends a message that californi stands up to police. democrats stand up to police that is what is going on republican governors and attorney generals are believin walgreens in order to stop dispensing the medication that puts women s lives at risk and their health at risk everybody should know that thi is not just a drug for abortion, it is also to trea miscarriages so, walgreens unfortunatel decided to put their own botto line ahead of the bottom lin and help their patients. so, we are going to keep movin forward on this issue. but, first we have got to make sure that anybody thinks about falling in line and falling walgreens example, that they are going to have a hard message from california.
important, but it s about feeling democracy tells us about chaos. across the country, it tells u that there are three states in which bodily autonomy will b respected. and others in which you may di before you get the medical attention that you deserve and need it s been complete chaos since the supreme court june 24th decision overturned roe v. wade, an planned parenthood - we see in some ways, a wild, wild west across the country with different states doin different things we must never forget that th united states is the deadliest country in all of th industrialized world to be pregnant we rank behind countries where there have been recent genocide, it is horrific all of this information th supreme court knew because in 2016 it issued an opinion that women are 14 time
of a police report, restrainin order, et cetera it means that rather than bein an island that could support reproductive health for wome and people with a capacity for pregnancy, it means they might have to travel very far. already across the country where people are having to across multiple states if they can get their, in orde to receive an abortion which could save their lives which i always remind myself, i remind our audience that means requesting time off from work if you are someone who is paid hourly. that means wages that are no accounted for, you are likel already apparent it means having to fin childcare for your existin children it is deeply, deeply complex about this case in texas, thes five women in the doctors that have filed suit. with roe overturned, do yo believe that they have a legal case here? well i do but we will have to see, because behind your question i
standpoint, joe biden wants to create this chronic state of whiplash every time a new party takes over congress and the white house, they would reverse the previous decision on abortion. ab this persistent ping pong effect. p look,er abortion is important. n it shouldn t be treated like a rubber band expanded and contracted. yeah. you know, thank you , greg. and professor dershowitz, d regardless of what we think of the decision, the fact that the president, the united states on foreign soil is complainingde about the supreme court, do you find that troubling? and i find the whole attack on the supreme court s integrityin and the supreme court s justification to be very troubling. you know, i ve been studyingyi the constitution, the supreme court now for 60 years. hr i veou seen it go through cycle. the pendulum swings wildly. i remember in the birch society had signs up impeach earl warrenen, impeach bill douglas
