ivanka trump s role in the administration. the author claims they are essentially only out to better themselves, not the american people. stay with us. money, power politics next. but before we get to that, we ve got to mention the fd approving the first drug to treat postpartum depression which affects roughly 40,000 women excuse me, 400,000 women a year. the drug is given intravenously in the first 48 hours after a woman gives birth. initial trials show near immediate relief for patients. there is one huge draw back. the drug will cost anywhere from $20,000 to $34,000. i ve got a question. how come? question. how come everyone s got to listen to mom.
development and threats as we see it from north korea and iran because it s increasing clear to many that imposing tough economic sanctions on these countries is not working? it s not. i think we have to truly all of the above approach where we are looking at comprehensive pressure on these regimes but also there needs to be cost of these enablers. if we don t change that calculus it will continue. kelly: steven yates, good for you to join us and shed some insight. we value your perspective. jamie: we are medical beat. a dire warning about disease that kills 15,000 women a year. what new research is telling us about ovarian cancer and treatments that could extend lives. why aren t women getting that?
that s 0,000 people who were violated. yeah, i know. i know. 20,000 too many. i m talking pregnants, percentage of abortions for rape as compared to overall abortions. a tiny, tiny percent. and incest is quite high. yeah, yeah. but again, it s a tragedy for the family and the person in terms of actual numbers, it s a pretty small percentage. as a total number. unless you re one. 20,000 women a year. congressman roscoe bartlett doing his best todd akin impersonation with some of his constitutes. he s facing a hard re-election already. republicans inability to answer questions and follow-up questions on women s reproductive rights is a skill that has atrophied. republicans simply don t have all that much ability to take criticism from the center or from objective people or from people who are not activists on their side of this issue. this campaign season, when mitt
obstetrics and gynecology puts it around 30,000 women a year in the united states, that the government should force you to carry that pregnancy to term against your will. goldie, does this open a window into republican thinking, that for those of us who think that abortion should be available, not just for rape victims, but especially for rape victims, it s hard to comprehend exactly what people are thinking when they say, it shouldn t. is does this help actually explain what a lot of conservatives are actually, secretly thinking, when they say abortion should not be available in cases of rape? well, it s not really a big secret, if you know anything about right-to-life circles. i mean, this is an integral part of the language, or the propaganda that they used to, you know, justify, you know, their position on some of these issues. and so this is not brand-new. this is not a secret. this guy just happened to say it into a microphone.
