from WNYC Studios, it's Brian Lair, a daily politics podcast. It's Monday, May 9th.

Monday morning politics on the Monday after Mother's Day. The predicted protests disrupting Catholic church services yesterday

did not occur, despite the draft Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, or if they occurred,

no news outlet that I can find reported on any. But this did occur. The governor of Arkansas

on TV yesterday acknowledged that rape and incest are not exceptions

in the trigger law that would immediately take effect in that state if Roe is in fact overturned.

And the governor of Mississippi refused to rule out banning contraception next in his state

in this exchange on NBC's Meet the Press with a host

Chuck Todd. Look, you've just said that you believe life begins at conception. If there is

legislation brought to you to ban contraception, would you sign it? Well, I don't think that's

going to happen in Mississippi.

I'm sure they'll have those conversations in other states.

But you're not answering the question.

As is always the case with things, well, that's always the case.

There's so many things that we can talk about.

There are so many things that we can talk about, but apparently not that, not now, keeping the door

open to banning contraception. Congress could transform a woman's right to choose from something

determined by the Supreme Court to something voted into federal law. Senate Majority Leader

Chuck Schumer plans to call for a vote this week on a bill that would do that,

though he knows that with a filibuster in place, he'll never get enough Republican votes to pass it.

Schumer plans to bring it to a vote anyway.

This is not just one vote, and then this issue goes away.
