oz come out and say, yes i support these exemptions. but in practice you have just survive sexual assault. you are pregnant. you are going to some law enforcement person to get some piece of paper signing off. just the actual reality on the ground of that is also pretty horrifying. actually, to contemplate, when you think about what it actually looks like when implemented. shefali luthra has been doing great reporting on this topic. thank you so much. thanks for having me. that is all in on this wednesday night, alex wagner tonight starts now. good evening, alex. good evening, chris, i can t, still can t get my mind around republican candidates saying, i support the 1849 law that governs women s reproductive freedom. i am so obsessed with that sound. i was just talking about this, because it is so rare. i mean, it is an amazing bit of honesty. but it is so we are in new york for you to hear someone saying, i want the 1849. 1849, a lot was happening at that point. yeah. i wi
determining whether abortion is available in a state or not. one thing that i do want to emphasize further is, we know that banning abortion, with no exception for rape or incest, is incredibly unpopular, very, very, very few americans support this. even in states with abortion bans. but i do want to note that, even in states that have banned abortion and include a nominal exception for rape or incest, these are very difficult to enforce. rate is very rarely reported. you often require verification from a doctor or law enforcement. and in practice, if you are enforcing an abortion ban, with or without rape or incest exceptions, the effect is largely the same. and it goes against what many voters support. it is a really important point. we ve seen someone like mehmet oz come out and say, yes i support these exemptions. but in practice you have just survive sexual assault. you are pregnant. you are going to some law enforcement person to get some piece of paper signing off. just the ac
positions that think about the greater good and seeking to shore up general public sentiment and the faith of democracy. democracy is not done yet. so in many ways i m satisfied. i think there s always things that could be approached differently for sure. i think by and large, people in this part of pennsylvania are happy with biden more or less. martha: kyle, really quickly. the semi fascist comment, how did that sit with you? i think when you get to extreme language like that, it s bad for everybody. it s not right. so at the end of the day, pennsylvania up here in the northwest corner, we re looking for fentanyl is killing a person a day a law enforcement person told me. one person is dying a day. there s others we can talk about. the last two years i don t think have been great. that has to be addressed. martha: i thank you. i hope all three of you will come back. i d love to hear about your
purchased in the state of texas. can you talk us through the challenges that these weapons of war create for the police? anytime you have a weapon that is designed to hurt, devastate and destroy things in its target, it s oftentimes a huge concern to law enforcement. even though you are wearing a vest, these vests are not designed, nor are they clear to actually stop penetration from a seven point 62, or a 553, which is shot by an ar-15. that being said, there are tactics, they re straining and we as law enforcement officers understand the risk that we took on to do this job. one of the risk and one of the most important things that a law enforcement person can do is actually put themselves in the line of danger to safe someone who is a victim of a crime. this incident, how it s been portrayed, the things that have come out so far, have really exposed a lack of
this. no former law enforcement person, myself included, wants to sit here 24 hours later and start criticizing what local police did or didn t do responding to a crisis event, right? this is like very uncomfortable. and we don t know what happened. we don t know the absolute tick-tock of who showed up, when, and where they went, and what they saw, and what they planned to do, and how they may have been pinned down, what resources they had, what resources they didn t. we will find all of that out later. but i can tell you that the idea that law enforcement officers would hold a position in a school for 30 minutes or more while shooting was taking place, while a barricaded gunman was shooting victims inside of a classroom, that is not
