Hi, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York when the United States Supreme Court took the

0:13.0

monumental step in June. To roll back nearly 50 years of precedent and to overturn Roe

0:18.8

versus Wade, it was far from the final battle on either side over access to abortion healthcare

0:25.7

in America. Among independent voters, democratic voters, and even very large numbers of Republican

0:31.5

voters, it has been a political spark that continues to jolt and potentially reshape our politics.

0:37.9

But the power of the court's assault on a right supported by a majority of all Americans

has enough time to go to the Supreme Court if necessary before the ruling goes into effect from that

practical necessity. This harm would be felt throughout the country, given that Mephist Stone has
