get your popcorn ready. i am jonathan capehart. this is the sunday show. this sunday, the state of the union is tense. but president biden is strong and bold, as he steps into year three of his administration. for the third time in two weeks, it was commander-in-chief biden who authorized an unidentified aerial object, to be shot from the sky. this latest incident happened over canada s uconn region. the operation was carried out after consultation between biden and canadian prime minister justin trudeau. the origin in the exact makeup of the objects are still unknown. on the domestic front, at the state of the union earlier this week, president biden europa doped republicans into agreeing with his stance to not get rid of social security. some republicans want medicare and social security i m not saying it s a majority. as we all apparently agree, social security and medicare is off the books now, right? all right. this is what a.d. looks, like you. besides, you have t
texas concern block access to abortion pills nationwide. back in a, november a conservative antiabortion coalition sued the food and drug administration, arguing that the agency overstepped when it approved a key drug used to help terminate pregnancy. now, the drug could be decided within the next two weeks. and the implications here are far retraining. bills to terminate pregnancy are used in more than 50% of all abortions in the united states. joining me now, congresswoman ayanna pressley of massachusetts, chair of the abortion rights and access task force, and to seal, richards co-chair of american bridge and former president of planned parenthood federation, federation of america. talking to power us to. oh thank you both very much for coming to the sunday show. let me start with you. if the judge atlas this medication, what will the immediate impact to be on reproductive health? jonathan, it will be a
drug or at least blunts the impact of a harmful ruling from this judge? they could suffer this time and i get that they are not on the sides of the people. they continue to overturn the majority of the people. very, simply congress will just need to stand in the gap. abortion care is routine medical care. it is cruel and it is inhumane for republicans to tear health care away. and they continue to target the bodily autonomy and reproductive care and health care rights of women. black women in the abortion rights advocates have been standing in the gap on the front lines for decades, when it comes to reproductive. care we re gonna continue to organize and get safe abortion care to those who need it. congress is going to have to do its job, and codify abortion care is illegal right. we need to pass the women s health production act. we also have to pass the act that will appeal the hyde

amendment. we also need to pass the e.r. a, continue to treat women second-class citizens of this country, when it comes to everything from health care access to pay equity. we are just gonna keep organizing and this is not a drill. republicans continue to make a stark contrast here. we fought hard for the fda to expand access to medication abortion and to allow abortion kills to be displaced at local retail pharmacies. it s incredibly, safe and effective. in over half of all abortions in the u.s. are down this way. we have scientific and medical evidence that backs this. up this is just a baseless lawsuit by antiabortion extremists, more of the same. congresswoman pressley, you talked about the fact that black women have been standing on the gap here. talk more about the importance
