| 0:00.0 | Good afternoon. Welcome to Axios today. I'm Erica Pandey, Infernala Boudou. We're here with |
| 0:10.8 | a special episode. This morning, the Supreme Court issued a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, |
| 0:15.9 | the sixth redecision effectively ends all federal protections on abortion. Axios' Oriana Gonzalez |
| 0:22.2 | is here now with the details on this decision and what comes next. Hi, Oriana. Hi, Erica. |
| 0:28.5 | So we saw the draft in May of this decision. Did this final version differ too much from that? |
| 0:35.3 | I'm unsure to say whether it's the exact same draft. However, it's very, very, very similar. |
| 0:41.2 | In this decision, Justice Leader writes that Roe was egregiously wrong and deeply damaging, |
| 0:47.2 | and just outright says that the Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each state from |
| 0:52.1 | regulating abortion that Roe and Casey quoted that authority. And so now they are overruling those |
| 0:59.2 | cases and returning states the right to regulate abortion at any point in the pregnancy. |
| 1:06.7 | And you've been tracking how abortion rights in certain states will be dramatically or fully |
| 1:11.1 | rolled back if this happens. Now that it has, where are we going to see immediate changes and what |
| 1:17.1 | will those changes be? There are 13 states that have what are known as trigger loss. These are |
| 1:23.0 | lost that say that they will take effect once the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. What happens |
| 1:29.1 | with these particular trigger losses that they're all differently written. So we don't know exactly |
| 1:35.0 | how it would work for each one because they may need a governor or an attorney general to start some |
| 1:43.5 | sort of action that will make these loss take effect. So we still don't know whether they're |
| 1:50.7 | going to take effect immediately or just shortly after this decision that just has been issued. |
| 1:56.5 | What are some of those 13 states? So some of the 13 states that we know have trigger loss are Oklahoma, |
| 2:03.2 | Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee. We're really seeing more |
| 2:11.1 | southern states with these types of trigger loss, but we do have some northern states such as Idaho, |
| 2:16.8 | Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming. It's the most recent one that have enacted trigger loss |
