BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
"Our voices are key at this moment in time It's not just about these extreme politicians going after abortion. They are stopping women from traveling out of state for health care, they're trying to criminalize women, and they're trying to criminalize the doctors for helping them. They're coming after birth control, they're coming after mifepristone and the right to get [a] medicated abortion. The Supreme court is going to decide whether banning abortion in emergency rooms and restricting access to the abortion pill is okay . Some of my colleagues are proposing legislation to ban abortion nationally. Everything about women's rights when it comes to our reproductive freedom is on the line right now."
