Printed by politico, a group of justices are willing to strikedown roe v. Wade or at least when the draft was written, and the Majority Draft in which samuel alito calls this egregiously wrong from the start, and today we have seen the fallout from the words. If this decision holds, it is quite a radical decision. Does it mean that in florida they can decide they will pass a law saying that samesex marriage is not permissible . It is against the law in florida . So it is a fundamental shift in american jurisprudence. And so the democrats worry about Abortion Rights but what a decision could mean by other Court Decision including samesex marriage, and republicans and democrats today sparring over which is more worrisome, the possible decision or the leak itself. The republicanappointed justices recorded votes to overturn roe v. Wade is going to go down as an abomination, one of the worst most damning decisions in modern history. Do you take credit for Abortion Rights to go away for mill
Ruling that made Abortion Rights the law of the land. The author of the opinion,alito egregiously wrong. And that carries a lot of weight, as he and four other conservative justices now hold a majority on the Supreme Court. U. S. President joe biden, meantime, says a womans right to an abortion is, quote, fundamental, and that the Supreme Courts decision, if it becomes official, could end up affecting all decisions in americans private lives. If this decision holds, its really quite a radical decision. Does this mean that in florida they can decide theyre going to pass a law saying that samesex marriage is not permissible . Its against the law in florida . So, theres a whole its a fundamental shift in american jurisprudence. Now you on the flip side, many conservative republicans see the likely demise of roe v. Wade as a victory in their decadeslong battle against legalized abortion. Some are celebrating loudly and proudly. Others are taking a more subdued approach for fear of alienati
Kansas city, missouri. Austin, texas. Americans turning out in city after city across the country, many of them kind of in shock. The country is digesting the Bombshell News that broke just over 24 hours ago that a majority on the Supreme Court appears poised to revoke the constitutional right to abortion in the United States. Today, the chief Justice John Roberts confirmed that a Draft Majority Opinion published last night by political. Com is authentic. And that Draft Opinion, Justice Samuel alito eviscerates both roe v. Wade, and planned parenthood versus casey. The foundational Supreme Court precedents that have guaranteed the right to an adoption in this country for decades. If the court does ultimately rule that way, the justices take away a right that americans have been guaranteed for nearly 50 years, the ramifications will be immediate, widespread, severe, and in some ways, unpredictable. But one thing that is predictable is the practical effects of this potential ruling. We d
Actually looks like. Actually looks like. Ali, i thought i was coming to terms with this when i was working the senate in the 1990s. I expected eventually that there would be the five votes for it, but have to tell, you i was absolutely shocked walking through the building Last Night Holding in my hands a leaked opinion. I had so much trouble believing that this was an actual leaked opinion, since that had never occurred before. But by the time we got on the air after rachael did an hour on it, it was pretty clear. This was The Real Thing. And so, we went right past that question of, is this The Real Thing . We dont know if The Real Thing with the Chief Justice confirming today. But we have never been through anything like it. And im gonna take us through a little bit of the history that joe biden mention today that got us to where we are today. I look forward to it lawrence, thank you, have yourself a great show. Thank you. The Supreme Court is facing a crisis of legitimacy tonight. T
That in the first three months of pregnancy only the woman and her physician may decide whether she may have an abortion. In the second three months, all the state may do is regulate abortion procedures, and only in the final three months of pregnancy can the state forbid abortion. That was an historic moment for women. Only the third official affirmation of womens rights after the right to vote in 1920 and the legalization of Birth Control by the Supreme Court in 1965. The 1973 ruling on abortion told women that we, not the government, control our bodies, that women get to make their own decisions about their own lives, and now that era of basic human rights and dignity for women has been ripped to shreds with a leak of a Draft Opinion from the Supreme Court Overturning Roe v. Wade as well as the associated ruling casey versus Planned Parenthood. The Supreme Court has confirmed that the document obtained by politico is in fact the authentic first draft. In the opinion Justice Samuel a
