wife's
joining us now
is Kb club boo sick is that correct Katie
my child night I know it's terrible it's diet weblog under Katie speak I'm not
trying to be an honest
no expect anyone to start pronounce that day
okay so you katie is a writer reproductive justice activist
and I I want to just have you on
briefly to just hella basically the
laws in taxes they're kinda came to national attention that really intense
anti-woman self anti-choice push that was kinda brought to the national
consciousness by Wendy Davis
are still being pushed forward I in Texas there
I currently in in kinda legal
are in a legal process right now and I i want you to both speak briefly to that
and then also you're involved in organizing an online tell
non-event which supports Texas woman essentially a fundraising help keep
are what few Planned Parenthood Planned Parenthood and other woman health
centers that are
operating in Texas I open and providing services
wall this goes through its legal process
sure I'm just heard just a quick correction just for people who are
looking at some
we were actually does organization
is the fundraiser sponsored by NARAL pro-choice America
and and I asked New York abortion access into
not directly associated Planned Parenthood the
know that it they're definitely involved in that the legal kind of this planet
access so when he visits are prepared to adjust the first special session
at Rick Perry called I'm he is so anti-choice
he called additional legislative session and managed to cram 30
an HPQ because one other on the best trapped by
you guys talk about it a lot on the show buddy but it does get pushed
there to provide a quote and connects and they don't they know they can do
with the safety and health of women
there just to push my anti-choice agenda do to don't really respect by by Lee
economy which is why I take it personally even when it's not happening
in my state
so already in October and admitting privileges requirement
was struck down by the Circuit Court and then on Halloween
be really awfully horrible texas Attorney General Greg
have it has futurist day in that decision
antibiotics so immediately and affected
was be admitting privileges %uh proficient and so
just click showdown across the state overnight
I V to people who packed all on take
playing their patients who had appointment in the morning to tell them
not to come
and what happened now is 246 I did the 254 counties in Texas at No
abortion provider there are at least six counts in the entire state
that have someone that can ride this legal medical procedure so women are
driving like six hundred miles
for four point that they can't even get there it's it's really ridiculous
yeah that's absolutely ludicrous i mean and that's really why wanna just how you
want even just you know
relatively briefly to just kinda highlight what's happening there
this kind of emergency %uh that's taking place right now in taxes
are so briefly what is the state
love where where is the case that legally right now what's the next
process is gonna go through and then
explain this a fundraiser and how people could
could get involved with it sure civil I was passed
and then are pro-choice groups to first day
missed a requested guiding the current crisis and then the Center for
Reproductive Rights
and other assorted legal beagle legal action group
has had gone to the supreme court and asked for emergency keel
tulips to let go looking up to stay if that's not confusing and I for everybody
and the problem is that I goes to antonin scalia
because he's the one in charge at the Fifth Circuit Court good essentially his
decision
unilaterally I mean he can bring and the other guys in a black robe
they probably won't so it's not about to have either not
this this rocket struck back down and what happened
if you decide cue maintain the current state of affairs
is that gives the Fifth Circuit City steel approval of mine that the
admitting privileges lot and places like the times in Alabama had already struck
it down
you have one circuit court saying yes and want to get quite shake now I'm not
the kind of thing
send it to the Supreme Court which is the whole point I'll be in Detroit nope
it's overturned row
so if you're just a police state and you think that what's happening in Texas
right now is not about you
you better believe the has everything to do with you the the state of emergency
in the whole thing

texted dictating crisis i mean there are other states Ohio and Indiana plates are
a nightmare for women's rights as well but the club because it aside and
