NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:40.030 --> 00:00:41.298 Let's start with what? NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:41.298 --> 00:00:43.634 Overturning Roe V Wade would mean it NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:43.634 --> 00:00:45.878 would mean that the guaranteed federal NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:45.878 --> 00:00:47.849 protections for abortion would be gone, NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:50.234 and instead it would be an issue regulated NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:50.234 --> 00:00:52.789 by the state governments in the draft, NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:52.790 --> 00:00:53.378 Alito writes, NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:53.378 --> 00:00:55.730 quote it is time to heed the Constitution NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:55.790 --> 00:00:57.883 and return the issue of abortion to NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:00:57.883 --> 00:00:59.700 the people's elected representatives.

NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:13.235 It's still possible that parts NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:13.235 --> 00:01:14.830 of the opinion could change, NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:14.830 --> 00:01:17.126 or that even some of the votes could NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:17.126 --> 00:01:18.810 change before the final decision NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:18.810 --> 00:01:20.565 that was expected this summer, NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:20.570 --> 00:01:23.216 but a leak of this nature is no doubt NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:23.216 --> 00:01:25.356 going to rock the Supreme Court. NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:25.990 In fact, NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:25.990 --> 00:01:28.195 SCOTUS blog a website that covers the NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:28.195 --> 00:01:30.456 daily goings on at the Supreme Court, NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:32.320 wrote that this leak is what NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:34.267 they called the greatest and most NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:34.267 --> 00:01:36.199 unforgivable sin care about to you.

NOTE Confidence: 0.91609615 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.120 Now we NOTE Confidence: 0.87658954 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.451 spent a lot of time covering the NOTE Confidence: 0.87658954 00:01:40.451 --> 00:01:42.050 heartbeat abortion bill in Texas. NOTE Confidence: 0.87658954 00:01:42.050 --> 00:01:43.778 During the last legislative session Chris. NOTE Confidence: 0.87658954 00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:45.880 So what would the overturn of Roe NOTE Confidence: 0.87658954 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:48.100 versus Wade mean for us here in Texas? NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:52.959 Yeah, we didn't hear near as much about it, NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:55.456 but also during that legislative session NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:01:55.456 --> 00:01:57.448 the legislature legislature passed a NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:01:57.448 --> 00:01:59.576 trigger law that stated if this were to NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:01.566 happen if Roe V Wade were overturned, NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:02:01.570 --> 00:02:04.130 then that would trigger a law in Texas NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:02:04.130 --> 00:02:06.857 that would take effect just 30 days later. NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:02:06.860 --> 00:02:08.840 That would make providing an abortion NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.158 a felony in the state of Texas. NOTE Confidence: 0.8968527 00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:13.524 Back to you all, right? Thank you.
