0:00.0 | All right, thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime. Alabama just passed a |
0:05.2 | law that bans almost all abortions. They clearly want to go to the Supreme Court. We're going to |
0:12.4 | get after the two most pressing questions. What's the chance that this law makes it to the Supreme |
0:17.6 | Court and is Roe V Wade vulnerable? And if so, how? We have key insights and information on both of |
0:26.0 | those. But this issue is much more about politics than it is about law at this point. And in |
0:31.0 | Alabama, it was all about men, zero women, and Alabama's Senate voted to pass the ban. |
0:37.2 | We have one of only four women, part of that body here, and she's far from finished with to fight. |
0:43.8 | A lot of chatter as well tonight about the military plans this president and his pals are working |
0:48.4 | up to deal with Iran. Where is Congress in the equation? The Constitution says they are supposed |
0:54.9 | to declare war not the president. We have a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member on what |

1:20.8 | did sign that extreme anti-abortion bill into law. It will make it a felony for a service provider, |
1:28.4 | a medical provider, a clinician, a doctor to perform an abortion at any stage of pregnancy, |
1:33.7 | even if there is a health risk to the mother. Not even in preg nation by rape and preg nation by |
1:40.6 | incest, neither is excluded from the measure. Listen to one of the four women in Alabama's Senate |
1:46.7 | taking some of her male colleagues to task. Do you know what it's like to be raped? |
1:54.2 | No, ma'am, I don't. Do you know what it's like to have a relative commit incest on you? |
2:01.2 | On me, no ma'am. Yes, on you. Okay. So that's one of those traumas that a person experiences, |
2:10.3 | just like that child experienced. And to take that choice away from that person who had such a |
2:21.7 | traumatic act committed against them to be left with the residue of that person, if you will, |
