In the past hour where been in france for a significant moment with abortion being enshrined in the constitution as a right and Emmanuel Macron has been taking part in pomp and ceremony. Lets take a look at that. It will be formally enshrined in the next couple of james. This is the ceremony and a symbolic moment for the country.

But polling shows why this is proving a difficult political issue for republican president ial candidates. Among all americans, some 73 support allowing abortions in the first six week of pregnancy. Including 56 of those in states with the most restrictive Abortion Bans. As of last month, 21 out of 50 states have either total or partial Abortion Bans on the books. And so, unsurprisingly, its an issue that is playing out on the campaign trail. Republican frontrunner donald trump has been reminding his supporters that he appointed three conservative judges to the Supreme Court when he was president. The same judges that played a decisive role in overturning roe v wade. But so far he has been less clear on restrictions he would like to see. The New York Times reported last month that trump privately supports a 16 week ban. Something his Campaign Slammed as fake news. But we do know that the former president has previously called for exceptions for cases of rape, incest and medical emergen
Inaccuracies in your question. You started by saying that this ruling seemed to ban, or make it a criminal case to ban ivf, and thats simply not what happened.

Lila rose, in southern california, welcome to hardtalk. Thanks for having me, stephen. Its a great pleasure to have you on the show. Ijust wonder if, right now, you feel you are wrestling with the law of unintended consequences. You welcomed that Supreme Court decision to overturn roe v wade, but since that happened a couple of years ago, its become clear that most americans do not want to see a womans right to choose an abortion to be outlawed and overturned. Thats become a big problem for you, hasnt it . Well, to be clear, the majority of americans actually support abortion restriction, stephen, which is not the case for pro abortion activists in this country. So those that are bewailing the overturning of roe v wade and Planned Parenthood are some of these very activistic, pro abortion groups, they dont want any Abortion Restrictions. And as you know, even in most european countries, abortion is largely restricted after the first trimester. Thats not so in the United States. In fact
