Tonight on the readout.

Somebody gave me a procedure so that I wouldn't have to experience another miscarriage,

the pain, the mess, the discomfort. And now we're talking about

whether or not we should put that doctor in jail. This is outrageous that we would even dignify the consideration of this type of ban.

Donald Trump, this is what leaving it up to the states looks like,

as Arizona's Supreme Court upholds a civil war era

near total abortion ban. State Senator Eva Birch, who you just heard, joins me in a

moment. Also tonight, a New York court rejects Donald Trump's latest delay tactic as Trump's legal

arguments center on him somehow being above the law. Plus the Maggift

everybody's raking in the dough especially son-in-law Jared Kushner, but Trump's billionaire

benefactors are expecting a few big favors in exchange for their campaign cash.

But we begin tonight with a dark reality for the women of Arizona and a cautionary tale for every American woman, courtesy of a blast from the past.

Back in 1863, two years into the Civil War,

Arizona was not yet a US state.

That wouldn't happen until 1912. American women could not vote. That

wouldn't happen until 1920. And the age of sexual consent for girls was just

10 years old. Yes, I said 10. That year Arizona was declared a

US territory with a governor appointed by President Abraham Lincoln. His name was

John Noble Goodwin.

And the 27 white male legislators who wrote the rules for this brand new territory

had a very specific vision, using draconian laws to bring order to what they viewed as a wild

Western chaos.
