Summary
Republicans' insidious scheme to make you think abortions are safe gets exposed in devastating fashion.

And NY Times Opinion writer Kara Swisher joins to discuss Elon Musk’s latest announcement that his Twitter purchase is “on hold” and whether she thinks Trump will actually come back to Twitter.

| 0:00.0 | Today, we're going to talk about the Republicans' backhanded effort to make you think abortions |
| 0:04.7 | are safe and how that strategy backfired. |
| 0:07.2 | I interview Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson about the extent to which abortion |
| 0:11.6 | bands stop abortion, how those same Republicans who wail about the sanctity of life fair when |
