Summary

Megyn Kelly takes a deep dive into the Dobbs ruling on abortion and the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. She begins with a monologue on why the Supreme Court made the right legal decision in the case to send abortion back to the states, and the fight ahead on the issue. Then, Charles C.W. Cooke, National Review senior writer, Alan Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, Lila Rose, founder of "Live Action," and Batya Ungar-Sargon, author of "Bad News," to talk about the political fallout on the Roe and Dobbs decisions, what may happen state-by-state, the "practical politics" of abortion, the legal implications and what may come next, the nuances to the discussion, the over-the-top hysterical media reaction, the left suddenly turning on institutions, the value of consensus and compromise, the truth about Americans' feelings on abortion, the deeply personal response on both sides to the issue, and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, your home for Open, Honest, and Provocative Conversations.
0:12.0	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly, welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. We are back from vacation with a
0:17.3	big show for you today. We have packed our line up full of important voices to hear on all
0:23.8	angles of the historic decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs Wade nearly 50 years in the
0:32.0	making. And this morning we just got another major ruling. In a six to three decision, the court
0:37.3	ruled that a high school football coach who you met on this program had a constitutional right to
0:44.0	pray at the 50 yard line after his team's games. You may remember that we interviewed Coach Joseph
0:50.4	Kennedy on this show. So in case we know well, we'll tackle what that means for the country,
0:55.0	but it's definitely a victory for religious liberty. The guy wasn't trying to make the students
1:00.5	pray. He was just trying to offer a prayer himself. And when the students wanted to come join him,
1:05.7	he didn't tell them, get out, get away. But that's how crazy our religious liberty.
1:10.4	jurisprudence has gotten that these sort of far left people who misunderstand the Constitution
1:15.3	believe that's unconstitutional. This court said it straight today and ruled for the football
1:20.8	coach who was fired over this, who's fired over it. All right. So that's that, but we've got to
1:26.2	begin with the seismic ruling in dobs. Roe vs Wade is overturned. And so is the 1992 decision
1:33.9	upholding it KC versus Planned Parenthood. And that is a good thing. The decisions were an embarrassment.
1:42.0	They were a legal invention driven by ideological courts bent on finding constitutional rights
1:48.5	that did not exist. It was judicial activism, which misled the country for nearly 50 years
1:55.2	in the believing that the court had powers it didn't. And that women had constitutional rights. They
2:01.0	didn't. That was wrong. To the extent women are feeling like the rug has been pulled out from
2:06.4	under them today. That is the fault of the row and the KC courts, not of this court. Abortion
2:14.0	is not mentioned in the Constitution. The challenge all along has been to figure out whether it is
