first up in tonight's real news round-up
tenure for 16-19 project founder nicole
hannah jones
at the university of north carolina is
once again a possibility tonight
now that her candidacy has been
resubmitted by a panel of tenured
professors
and back in the hands of unc trustees
the move follows a decision just days
ago
to offer her a five-year contract
without tenure the next official board
meeting
takes place in july los angeles
officials opening a government-funded
tent encampment in a parking lot in an
attempt to control the city's homeless
problem
like in la's skid row now there are
concerns over the price tag
twenty six hundred dollars per tent that
includes three meals a day
and 24 hour security seattle's former
police chief carmen best
in a new interview saying the media's
coverage of last year's chop zone
painted the protest in a more positive
and non-violent light
than was actually happening on the
ground
i would read stories about you know the
peaceful protest i go well
part of it was peaceful but i was
standing like 20 feet away from a hail
of rocks
i was looking right at them come hell
down like feet from you i was behind a
telephone pole

how much she quote
hates whiteness in an instagram post
that she's since made private kate
slater reportedly said quote
yes all white people are racist in that
all white people have been conditioned
in a society where one's racial identity
determines life experiences
outcomes and whiteness is the norm and
the default that includes
me a mcdonald's franchise in illinois
attempting to get people interested in
getting back to work by offering free
iphones
this image going viral explaining that
after six months of employment a new
hire could get the free phone
for now the offer stands at only as far
as we know that location legislators in
a slew of republican-controlled states
are taking
aim at roe v wade by rapidly passing
pro-life bills
that are likely to meet immediate legal
challenges hoping that they will end up
in front of the supreme court
and its current conserva conservative
super majority
a red state revolt happening across the
country with more than 500 measures
restricting abortion
introduced across 47 state legislatures
in 2021
alone many in an effort to chip away at
roe v
wade there's always been a sort of
patchwork
across you know all 50 states what's
changed
since 1973 is that we know so much more
about the unborn child growing in the
womb in montana pro-life lawmakers see a
window of opportunity
since for the first time in 16 years a
republican now resides in the governor's
mansion
we are celebrating life governor greg
gianforte
signed three abortion related measures
into law in april
including a ban on abortion after 20
weeks of gestation
a requirement that health care providers
give pregnant women the opportunity to
view an
ultrasound and a requirement that
abortion pills be given
in person and not using telehealth in
arkansas republican governor asa
hutchinson signed into law one of the
most restrictive abortion bans
in the country a bill that criminalizes
the procedure except to save
a woman's life there are no exceptions
in cases of rape or
incest the texas state senate just
approved what it calls the trigger bill
to ban abortion if roe v wade is ever
overturned
a measure passed in south carolina bans
abortions when a fetal heartbeat
is detected the ink wasn't even dry
before a federal judge blocked the law
from going into effect
but mississippi is the first state to
get all the way to the highest court in
the nation
the supreme court announcing it will
hear the case over the state's law
banning all abortions
after 15 weeks we're really encouraged
by
the question that the court is going to
examine whether
all pre-viability bans on abortion
are unconstitutional nearly 30 years
have passed since the supreme court
decided planned parenthood v
casey a case that also presented the
opportunity to
undercut roe v wade in a big way but in
a 5-4 decision the conservative-leaning
bench reaffirmed
the quote right of the woman to choose
to have an abortion before viability and
to obtain it without undue interference
from the state
pro-life advocates hope this time is
different
there's so much more that we know just
the understanding of fetal development
and the outdated anti-science standards
that have been used in the past to
to allow or disallow state laws
it's really a long past time that we've
re-examined the issue of abortion
jurisprudence in this country
the bench lost an abortion rights
stalwart with the passing of justice
ruth bader ginsburg in 2020
and added three conservative appointees
during the trump administration
it's unclear how the new justices will
rule in the mississippi case
it's inconsistent with the duties of a
sitting judge
to take positions on cases that the
court has decided in the past
but justice amy coney barrett's personal
pro-life views are widely known
justices brett kavanaugh and neil
gorsuch joined the dissent in a supreme
court decision that struck down a
louisiana law that would have left the
state with just one
abortion clinic while red state
republicans appear supportive of a broad
push to limit abortion
the biden administration is also
readying for battle
white house press secretary jen saki
says the president is committed to
codifying roe v wade
regardless of the supreme court's
decision in the upcoming mississippi
case
the president and the vice president are
devoted to ensuring that every american
has access to health care
including reproductive health care as
such the president
is committed to codifying roe regardless
of the
unrelated how it's all related but to
the outcome of this case
even though the arguments in the
mississippi case are months away one
pro-life group is already pouring two
million dollars into an ad campaign
the 32nd ad paid for by susan b anthony
list will air in the washington dc
market as well as on lifetime
