Tonight on The Readout, every Republican candidate for president should support a ban on abortion

before 15 weeks as a minimum nationwide standard.

On the eve of the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade, conservatives

like Mike Pence say they want to further crush reproductive rights.

Plus, the United States versus Donald Trump, it'll be hard to claim the trial is rigged

with a Trump appointed judge and a jury picked from a Trump friendly community.

What kind of an edge if any do those two facts give the former president?

Good evening, I'm Ali Velshi, filling in for Joy Read.

We begin tonight with Post-Roe America.

One year ago, tomorrow, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization

that the right to an abortion is not constitutionally protected.

The ruling overturned Roe v Wade, the law of the land for 50 years, and remains as unpopular as ever,

yet the Republican Party insists on ignoring that memo.

Today, Major 2024 GOP contenders shared the stage at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference

to push extremely unpopular culture war issues, including more restrictions on abortion.

We are creating a culture of life in America.

I will side a federal law to restrict abortion as well as president of the United States.

We must not rest and must not relent until we restore the sanctity of life to the center of

American law in every state in this country.

This exact strategy to woo voters could very well backfire for Republicans.

Check out this brand new NBC News poll, 61% of voters disapprove of Roe's overturn.

That includes nearly 80% of women voters between the age of 18 and 49.
