1 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: Good morning, Peepsa and welcome to Okay f Daily with 2 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker. Folks, 3 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: it is apparent that the Republicans are not letting up 4 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: on their war against women and people with uteruses. This week, 5 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: Senator Lindsey Graham, as I mentioned earlier in the week, 6 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: introduced an agregious, fucking national ban on abortion. Now. I 7 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: know that the media loves to part and parcel things 8 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: out and use Republican talking points as a way to 9 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: frame the conversation around abortion, but let me be really 10 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: clear so that you all understand the bullshit that you 11 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: were hearing from mainstream media. What Lindsay Graham and Republicans 12 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: in the Senate have done is introduced to bill that 13 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: they are referred to as a quote unquote late term abortion, 14 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: which is banning abortions after fifteen weeks. Right. And here's 15 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: the whole point of this that clearly the media does 16 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: not pick up on language actually fucking matters, and we 17 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: know that a ban is a ban is a ban 18 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: as a band. I don't care if it's a fucking 19 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: heartbeat bill there, bullshit heartbeat bill. I don't care if 20 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: it's a fifteen week ban. Right. These Republicans since the 21 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: beginning of time have loved to chant about states goddamn rights. 22 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: States should have the rights to decide curriculum. States should 23 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: have the rights to decide gun controls. States should have 24 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: the rights to a press voters. States should have the 25 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: rights to decide bodily who has bodily autonomy or not. Right. So, 26 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: now that you are hearing stories like the horrific story 27 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: we heard about the ten year world rape victim that 28 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: had to flee her state in Ohio in order to 29 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: go to Indiana because when doctors checked her out found 30 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: that she was about six weeks and a few days 31 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: into her pregnancy term. They realized that they couldn't perform 32 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: an abortion for a ten year old rape victim. So 33 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: then she goes to Indiana. And what do the good 34 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: people in the state of Indiana do, or I should 35 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: say their governor. They decide to pass a law that 36 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: then bands abortion outright except for in places of incests 37 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: and rape right, because God forbid, we create safe haven 38 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: for women in this country. So now that we are 39 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: hearing more and more stories about women having to drive 40 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: four hundred miles in some cases to other states in 41 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: order to receive abortion care. The Republicans have decided, oh no, no, 42 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: we're not going to leave things up to the states. 43 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: We're going to implement a national band. Now we know 44 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: that right now we have a super motherfucking slim majority 45 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: in the Senate. Vice President Kamala Harris acts as that 46 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: fifty first vote in order to get us over the 47 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: threshold in most cases. So while this band will not 48 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: pass in this current Congress, we know that midterms are 49 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: but fifty five fucking days away, while the Senate is 50 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: not in play because the Republican Senate fucking challengers that 51 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: they have up there are of the likes of A 52 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Herschel Walker, my God, or Vance another Moron JD. Vance. 53 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Then you have doctor Oz and others that are, as 54 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell said, you know, not of the best quality. 55 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: But we know that Republicans are unrelenting, and all they 56 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: do is just wait to peel it away, peel it away, 57 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: peel it away, and then when they finally do get 58 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: the majority, we already know what is on the agenda. 59 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: But here's the thing that Republicans are not paying attention to. 60 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: They're not reading the motherfucking room from Kansas to South Carolina. 61 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: We are seeing women register to vote in numbers that 62 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: we have not seen before. We are seeing mid term voters, 63 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: in primary voters say to their elected officials, hands off 64 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: my god damn body. But the likes of Lindsey Graham 65 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: and others are not paying attention because what they want, folks, 66 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: is what we talk about on woke app all the time. 67 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: What they want is full and complete control over every 68 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: aspect of our society, including our bodies. There are, folks, 69 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven million women in this country, 70 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven million women. More than half 71 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: of the population are women and people with uteruses. So 72 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: what is the message that Republicans are sending and what 73 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: is the message that every person should be listening to. 74 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: They are coming for you. They go for the lowest 75 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: hanging fruit. First, abortion rights have been the fucking cat 76 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: nip for the white evangelical Christian set, the fundamentalist who 77 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: want to impose their religiosity and their doctrine on the 78 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: rest of us. That is not how a democracy operates. 79 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: We carve out all of these religious exemptions for these people. 80 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: You hear stories now of employees at CVS's and Walgreens 81 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: and Duane Reads refusing to fill prescriptions because it goes 82 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: against their religious beliefs. Well, then here's a news flash. 83 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: Here's a tip. Don't go to that job. How About 84 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: work in a fucking church. How about work in a 85 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: religious institution, because if your religion is actually getting in 86 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: the way of you providing a service to the majority 87 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: of the population, then maybe that is not the right 88 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: fucking job for you. The story is very simple, folks. 89 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: Republicans want to set this country back, and if they 90 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: have their way, by way of midterm elections and these polls, 91 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: they will there are going to be in the House 92 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: of Representatives more election deniers than not. While we can 93 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: hold on to the White House right now and the Senate, 94 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives is a fucking toss up. What 95 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: do you think is going to come out of Kevin 96 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: McCarthy's House of Representatives. I'm sure bullshit taxpayer dollar wasted 97 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: investigations into Hunter Biden, into the Biden administration. I'm sure frivolous, 98 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: absolutely frivolous legislation that will be about attacking LGBTQ people, 99 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: black people, brown people, and women and people with uterus is. 100 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: They are not mincing words anymore, folks, about what their 101 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: intentions are and who they are. And as doctor Maya 102 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: Angelou has said, when people show you who they are, 103 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: believe them the first time. How many decades do we 104 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: have to go through to recognize that Republicans do not 105 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: care about this country because if they did, then they 106 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: would invest in clean energy, They would want innovation, they 107 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: would want diversity, They would want America to be globally competitive. 108 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: But how can that be if we are chaining half 109 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: the population inside the house with children they can afford, 110 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: nor do they want. How are we going to be 111 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: competitive when we allow corporations to run rough shot over 112 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: workers and workers are barely able to keep their head 113 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: above water because their wages are not on par with inflation. 114 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: They don't want America's success, and it's time that the 115 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: American voters recognize that. With fifty some odd days to go, folks, 116 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: Republicans continue to show us who the fuck they are 117 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: and their vision for America is worse than the Handmaid's Tale. 118 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: And we know that for women of color in this country, 119 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: abortion rights had only been a paper right, and most 120 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: of these red states to begin with. So it's time 121 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: that white women who have aligned themselves with the power 122 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: and privilege of white men, wake the fuck up and 123 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: realize that your rights, your life, your economic stability is 124 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: on the chopping block.

And I think 174 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: the Vice president, I think, particularly someone who uniquely sits 175 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: at the nexus of civil rights, of reproductive rights and 176 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: justice and criminal justice, I think has been was very 177 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: receptive to the notion that we had to come together 178 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: and to really talk through, you know, what are our 179 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: strategies moving forward, not just over the next fifty six 180 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: days into the November election, but also what our long 181 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: arc needs to be as we move towards justice. So 182 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: talk to me about the fact because I think that 183 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: it is I always appreciate when civil rights organizations come 184 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: together with whether it is women's rights, lgbt Q rights organizations, 185 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: but come together to understand that we have a shared 186 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: desire for justice, right, that we have a shared desire 187 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: for equity. Talk to me about the unique I guess 188 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: position that black women and women of color are in 189 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: right now since the overturning of Rov wade as at 190 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: the close of the Supreme Courts session. And what are 191 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: some of the experiences that you've been hearing about or 192 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: that we're uplifted during that meeting. Yeah, I mean, you know, 193 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: to be um on the on the kind of meta level, 194 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: we know that these bands that we've seen over the years, 195 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: abortion bands have disproportionately impacted Black women, in particular, people 196 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: of color, people with low incomes, rural communities, and we 197 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: are seeing many of these bands introduced in states with 198 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: the highest maternal mortality rate, right, so also an issue 199 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: that significantly disproportionately impacts black women. And so you know, 200 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: I think we start there and just the nexus of 201 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: how sexual and reproductive healthcare bands and restrictions impact our 202 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: bodies and control over our bodies and our freedoms. Then 203 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: you add a layer on to the criminalization and the 204 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: surveillance that is increasing with respect to these bands. Some 205 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: of them are being enforced by this you know, unique 206 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: bounty hunter provision that was part of the civil right 207 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: of action that came out of the Texas x SB 208 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: eight UM van and fiasco last year. UM. And and 209 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: now with row overturned. UM, we you know the we 210 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: could see felony convictions right um from for providers up 211 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: to ninety nine years UM. But you know also for 212 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: people who support people who get access to care out 213 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: of state. And you know, the opposition has introduced everything 214 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: from uh you know, saying it it shouldn't be legal 215 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: to cross state lines in order to get access to cares, 216 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: literally holding people hostage in their state, UM, so that 217 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: they are not able to get access to abortion care. UM. 218 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: You know, people worried about the long drives they're taking. 219 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: We are seeing people drive an average four hundred miles 220 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: outside of their state to get access and lonely right 221 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: because they are afraid to tell anyone what is going on, 222 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: because they don't want to you know, um, implicate anyone 223 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: else in their decision if it if it may cause 224 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: them harm. UM. And we also recognize the fact that 225 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: if criminal prosecutions move forward, as you know what one 226 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: would have to right, if they're going to actually enforce 227 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: these laws, you know, that could also impact and create 228 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: voter disenfranchisement. Right, it could impact you know, one's ability 229 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: to get access to housing, access to medicaid, and so 230 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: the ripple effect into public policy from from the kind 231 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: of healthcare harms that people are experiencing, I think is 232 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: just really great. Um. And you know, a significant challenge 233 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: for us to be thinking about. And because of that, 234 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: I think that's why these communities coming together made such 235 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: a powerful statement. Last I would just add that, you know, 236 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: so many reproductive rights organizations, including mine, you know, we 237 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: are now being led by by black women or women 238 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: of color, and so the opportunity to really sit at 239 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: the center kind of of who we are along with 240 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: the Vice president I was just an incredibly powerful moment. 241 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: You know, there's been a lot of critique about the 242 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: Biden administration and they're handling of this issue. There had 243 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: been pushed back from abortion activists about the fact that 244 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: the president and hadn't uttered the word abortion. Um. There 245 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: has been pushed back in general about Democrats and their 246 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: inability to wrap their arms fully around this issue. It 247 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 1: was always you know, abortion should be you know, safe 248 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: and rare, right. Um. And you know, we have moved 249 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: to a place where we understand that abortion is just 250 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: a necessary part of care. We're hearing terrible stories about 251 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: partially formed fetuses that are being left inside of of 252 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: of of a uterus because they can't be aborted. Right. Um. 253 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: Do you think that this administration, when we knew, when 254 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: we thought that the built with that the that the 255 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: decision was a draft, that they took enough proactive action. Um. 256 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: And do you think that they have arrived at this 257 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: place and recognizing that Republicans are not going to let 258 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: this issue sit. Yes. And look, I think like, uh, 259 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: like the party's entire evolution on this issue, right. I mean, 260 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: we still have people in the party that are you know, 261 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: do not support access to to abortion, and I think 262 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: that is you know, something that we have to grapple with. 263 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: But I think this administration, it has been very very 264 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: thoughtful in terms of thinking as a what I would 265 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: say a whole of government response to the crisis and 266 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: making sure that the actions they are taking, whether it's 267 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: litigation or UM, you know, identifying various UM you know, 268 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: policies or executive orders that they are very patient and 269 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: provider focused UM and intended to do. They ken to 270 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: help people mitigate the concerns while we fight back. UM. 271 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: So you know, a good example, as you just mentioned 272 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: the the emergency medical UM you know, uh, you know, 273 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: UM support in the danger of the parents life. You know, 274 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean that am tala guidance from HHS is very important, 275 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: and we've seen how you know, the Republicans have responded 276 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: to that. You know, Attorney General Paxton of Texas said 277 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to follow that guidance or recommend that 278 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: guidance in the state because they didn't think that the 279 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: federal federal government had the ability to do that. So 280 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, we should and we should come back to 281 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: that when we talk about Lindsay Graham. UM. But but 282 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: they have done actually some very important things. Right. We've 283 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: seen the executive order urging medicaid to support travel right, which, 284 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: as I said, people need. They're traveling up upwards of 285 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: four hundred miles. We've seen them open up Supplemental Title 286 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 1: ten funds to get access to family planning, making some 287 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: abortion care available through the VA right. That's a big 288 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: deal to have a you know, the agency lead at 289 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: the Veteran Affairs you know, support the you know, the 290 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: men and women of our you know of our service 291 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: people are are desperate for accurate information. As we know 292 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: they're is so much misinformation rife in this in this 293 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: space that is, you know, information that you see online 294 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: and then gets codified into crisis pregnancy centers. And the 295 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: administration has responded by launching Reproductive Rights dot gov and 296 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: and you know, I have to lift up. And I 297 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: think this is one of the reasons why we were 298 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: particularly keen on um, you know, seeing the Vice President yesterday, 299 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: is that she personally has been traveling across the country 300 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: this summer around abortion access. She has met with over 301 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty legislatures in seventeen states, leaders in 302 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: higher ed healthcare providers, con law experts, attorneys, general, disability advocates, 303 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: faith leaders like she's leaving no stone unturned to really 304 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: inform the kind of response from the administration. So is 305 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: there a silver bullet that the administration could you know, 306 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: provide for us. No, because it's so much more complicated, 307 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, with this ruling. But I think in terms 308 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: of mitigating the harm and the impact on people, that 309 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: is where they are focused, and we need to get 310 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: back and quite frankly, deliver a different system instructure for 311 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: them to operate in in order to get some real, 312 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: meaningful policies set into laws. So you brought up Lindsey Graham, 313 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: who many know who listened to me know that that 314 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: is my least favorite senator. And you know, Lindsey Graham 315 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: did something this week where he offered from the Republican 316 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: Party a national ban on abortion. Now he is referred 317 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: to it as a late term abortion, which the media, 318 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: mainstream media has turned around and is using Republican talking 319 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: points when reporting on what is inside of this legislation. 320 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction first to one, this 321 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: party that has made it their mantra States rights has 322 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: now turned into oh no, no, no, because the States 323 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: are not doing what we want. Now we want a 324 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: national ban one and then two, how the mainstream media 325 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: has been dealing with this issue and particular in discussing 326 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: this quote unquote late term, which we know is BS 327 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. So look, I think on them on 328 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: the offering, we should not be surprised, right, um. And 329 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: you know they talk about states rights, and I think 330 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: there is an element related to states rights that that 331 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: the opposition and the Republican Party in particular, you know, um, 332 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: white supremacists are very keen on um, kind of doubling 333 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: down on with respect to um, you know, uh, enforcing 334 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 1: and codifying power in each state. Um. And you know, 335 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: we could only look to the to the opposition, which 336 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: is you know, said they would like a nationwide six 337 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: week ban, which is looking to for the Supreme Court 338 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: to take up a constitutional personhood and admit so they've 339 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: never really meant states rights only in certain circumstances is 340 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: maybe code words for some groups, but what they really 341 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: want to get to is abolition right, a complete inability 342 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: for us to access abortion and control our bodies with 343 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: respect to you know, a fifteen week ban and calling 344 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: it a late timor version that is just you know, 345 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: it's just a complete misnomer. First of all, a ban 346 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: as a ban as a ban as a ban, right, Yeah, 347 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: pregnancy is unique, Each circumstance is unique, That's why we 348 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: would rather have providers and patients making their own personal 349 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: medical decisions and not creating these one size fits all laws. 350 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: They just don't work and they create harm right to 351 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: your to your earlier point, you know, seeing patients that 352 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: are in second second try who don't have the ability 353 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: to get the abortion care that they need even when 354 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: their pregnancy is no longer viable, waiting for steps is 355 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: to set in, you know, which could you know, obviously 356 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: create so much harm. There's so much bias obviously in 357 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: in care, particularly related as it relates to black maternal care, 358 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: and that you know, it just it's it's it's incredibly 359 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: harmful and offensive right that that this is the piece 360 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: with respect to the media, you know, I think that 361 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: the media has actually been a big challenge all along, 362 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: not just with respect to just picking up as a 363 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: late term. We know that upwards of eighty percent of 364 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: Americans believe that rose should be the law of land, 365 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: the energy um. And I think the resistance to so 366 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: many of these increasing extreme restrictions is so palpable, it's 367 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: so clear they're you know, no state, very few states 368 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: where um you know where it's it's even kind of middling, 369 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: and so I think that part of the challenge what 370 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: we see the media is that they have actually also 371 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: created a false equivalence around people who support acts and 372 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: apportion that people who who oppose it. And so at 373 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: every turn, you know, here we are with a majority 374 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: public opinion support, and we're positioning this as both sides, 375 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: and that just that false equivalentally doesn't work. So then 376 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: you layer onto that, you know, late term, it's really 377 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: a way to set up you know why people who 378 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: support access to abortion are not going to be reasonable 379 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: or compromise, and you know what I mean, I would 380 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: have to say, like, we are not going to compromise 381 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: by you know, having a one size fits all approach 382 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: when we know full well that each pregnancy and circumstances 383 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: unique and providers are the best people to make those decisions, 384 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: not politicians. I think at the end of the day, 385 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: you make your own choices, you make your own decisions, 386 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: but politicians don't need to be in the middle of that, right, 387 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: We would rather have our medical providers in the middle 388 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: of those conversations, you know, Alexis With fifty six days 389 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: until mid terms, we have seen some pushback, We've had 390 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: some good news like in Kansas, where we have seen 391 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: the people push back and say no. We have seen 392 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: and heard that more women are registered in registering to vote. 393 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: We saw an initiative fail in this state legislature in 394 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: South Carolina. Now is a really hard time, though, to 395 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: be hopeful. Right everywhere that you look, there is just 396 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: really bad news like this, Graham Bill, And I'm wondering, 397 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: how are you and all of the people that work 398 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: at Planned Parenthood across the country, how are you maintaining 399 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: a sense of hopefulness. You know, I honestly, I think 400 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: it has been those little, not a little big victories, 401 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know, state by state victories. It has 402 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: been you know, holding out hope that we could pull 403 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: through in Kansas, even when you know the data pointed 404 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: to it being a quite um an even match early on. 405 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: It is seeing that kind of courage become contagious in 406 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: a state like Nebraska, where they literally couldn't find the 407 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: next you know, the legislators that would would make the difference. UM. 408 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: It is holding the line because every time we're able 409 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: to delay a ban or delay some of these harsh restrictions, 410 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: we're actually able to provide service to people. UM I am. 411 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: I am incredibly hopeful deriving hope from you know, honestly, 412 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: the patient and provider stories I hear every day, and 413 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: make no mistake that these are people that are despairing. 414 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: They are They are despairing as they can't provide the 415 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: care that they need. They are despairing because they have 416 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: to embark on a you know, a long and arduous 417 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: and lonely abortion journey, and that is you know, that 418 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: is difficult to bear. But the reason they do that 419 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: is because they have hope on the other side, right, 420 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: they have hope on the other side that being able 421 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: to get access is going to help them make the 422 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: best decisions for themselves and for their families. And you know, 423 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we trust folks to 424 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 1: make decisions about their bodies. We trust them to, you know, 425 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: UM figure out how they need to to live their 426 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: own best lives. And I think every time every time 427 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: we see that UM, which is in stark contrast to 428 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: the way politicians like Lindsay Graham are inserting themselves as 429 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: if they are the trusted UM, you know, gatekeepers to 430 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: our own body of the autonomy, I think it just 431 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: highlights how important UM this right is and has been. 432 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: It highlights how important our democracy is and our voting 433 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, capacity and rights are. UM. It highlights all 434 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: of the work that we need to do together as 435 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: a as a collaborative of communities, which is really um. 436 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: You know what what gave me hope yesterday in the 437 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: conversation with the Vice President and my colleagues who you know, um, Danielle, 438 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: We've known for for many years in different positions, but 439 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: to feel like we are standing strong because we have 440 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: intersected in so many different ways on so many different issues. 441 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: We see this at the core is being about freedom, right. 442 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: We see this at our four being about freedom and justice. 443 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: And that is why I have hope because you know 444 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: that has always carried us through. You know. Last question 445 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: for you is that there are so many people, so 446 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: many people that listen to my show, so many people 447 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: that are glued to cable news and want to figure 448 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 1: out what they can do to how how they can 449 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: be of service outside of obviously voting in the midterm elections. 450 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: Tell people how they can be supportive to Planned parenthood, 451 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: to this movement, to this moment right now. You know, 452 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: so of course, supporting Planned Parenthood affiliates is incredibly important 453 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: in this moment because many patients are making their way 454 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: to various affiliates across the country, and wherever you are, 455 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: there's an opportunity to support and connect to patients who 456 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: are both traveling out or helping us meet the surge 457 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: of operations in that place. Supporting independent providers at keep 458 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: our the Nix dot org, who we're also carrying a 459 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: huge burden of um of providing abortion care, supporting abortion 460 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: funds abortion funds dot org our ways to give direct 461 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: support to patients who are traveling and need all of 462 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: the logistics and support there.

That will 465 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: get you all involved in your electoral game, mobilizing, um, 466 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: you know. And I think that's really where we need 467 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: to be focused over the next fifty seven days. UM. 468 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: And then we're going to be back with the long 469 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: game conversation, right and yell, like the long game around 470 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: now that Row is gone.
