just in time for travel season. inflation is higher overall thanes within decades. baby formula is hard to find. the economy added more than 400,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate is at pre-covid levels. let s try to figure out where we are right now. we begin with christine romans. it seems like there s nothing but storm clouds on wall street. there is so much going on and so much chaos, really. i keep saying there are so many cross currents in the global economy, any one of them would be destabilizing. there s a half a dozen. you talked about the higher prices, the chip shortage, covid lockdowns in china. war in ukraine. war in ukraine and that s going to be a big dpeel some time. that means energy prices. for investors if you re looking at your 401(k), you know this. eight weeks in a row, the longest losing streak for the dow since the 20s. that s not great. the nasdaq stocks just hammered. you look at apple, meta, some of these widely held stocks. the bi
supreme court. now, i know there s a draft opinion, and it was leaked and it purports to say that, yes, the writing is on the wall. and no one should be naive to the prospect that roe v. wade may, in fact, be overturned. and yet, roe v. wade, again, sitting here today is still supposed to be the law of the land until the supreme court officially says otherwise. but for some governors and abortion clinic operators, the leaked opinion was enough. it s given license to governors to try to anticipate that overturning roe v. wade, according to that opinion, will allow them to decide the issue. remember, alito wanted it to go back to the states. it s about having the individual states being the one to decide how their state will operate. and because of it, some governors are now signing legislation accordingly or hoping to be able to soon. and for some abortion clinic operators, well, state abortion bans have made them stop providing the service entirely out of fear of being sued.
texas. you ll be able to have a civilian enforcement component, where you can be sued if you aid and abet or are suspected or helping somebody have an abortion. and this, all that i ve talked about today, will likely take effect even while roe v. wade still stands, even though we know that long-settled law protecting abortion rights could could be overturned by the supreme court. i have to tell you, i m not naive, and i know you are not either. but as a lawyer, as a voter, as a human being, as a woman, as a person, i m concerned about the effect of states getting ahead of their constitutional skis, so to speak. let s expand beyond abortion in the context of the conversation to really understand why this moment is so impactful. what s the impact of states making laws if they re conservative or liberal, doesn t matter how the law leans and is perceived. but making a law that goes

state. we saw up to 300 patients from texas alone every month up until, you know, oklahoma passed 1503, this was the exact same copy cat law of sb.8 in texas. and essentially it goes further excuse me, andrea. it goes further even with the idea of fertilization. correct. i have to ask you, why have you stopped providing the services now? i maybe understand texas. but oklahoma, it s not been signed into law yet. what is it that you are afraid of? is it the idea of being sued? is it the idea of this being codified in a way? what is the driving reason to stop before you even have a supreme court opinion or a signed legislation? so, first, we haven t stopped in texas. we still provide abortions to detectable fetal cardiac activity. in oklahoma, we stopped as of
