0:00.0 | This is how it will actually affect you no matter how aware you are watching right now. |
0:05.7 | 13 states have these so-called trigger laws in place for this very circumstance of |
0:10.4 | robbing overturned. Mean laws that go into effect very quickly now to ban abortion, |
0:15.2 | according to the abortion rights group, the Gutmacher Institute. For example, in Kentucky, |
0:20.1 | Louisiana, and South Dakota, it happens immediately. Meaning, if you had an appointment this morning at |
0:26.4 | 8th for this procedure, you could go through with it from here on out. No, you cannot, |
0:31.6 | according to what their law has planned there. Then we moved to a second group, the next level, |
0:35.7 | abortion advance to be enforced 30 days after Roe is overturned. That includes Idaho, Texas, |
0:41.6 | and Tennessee. And then come a half dozen states where officials would need to certify their |
0:47.6 | legislation is legally valid before their bans will kick in. That includes North Dakota, |
0:54.4 | Wyoming, Utah, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Now, this could be incredibly quick |

1:26.0 | compared to just 16 states and DC with laws to protect abortion rights states, which even now |
1:31.6 | are preparing for an influx of patients crossing state lines, seeking care. And you can imagine |
1:36.4 | what it will be like in Illinois where it's surrounded on all sides of states that very, |
1:40.8 | that either have already or very quickly will ban abortion. So what is the severity of these |
1:46.8 | bans? What are we looking at here? Missouri has eyes on targeting even non-residents. If you were to |
1:53.5 | pass through and conceive a child, they would continue on that with if you got an abortion elsewhere. |
1:58.8 | So the laws are very severe. Big steps out here that affect every community. |
