AVAILABLE TO THEM NOT JUST IN
WEEK, BUT MOVING FORWARD
WE HAVE ALREADY FILED AN APPEA
ON THIS COURT'S RULING, ON
JUDGE, AND ONE COURT, IN ONE
STATE WHO TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
THE FDA'S APPROVAL PROCESS FOR
STATE AND EFFECTIV
MEDICATIONS.
WE HAVE TO GO TO COURT AND SEE
AN APPEAL.
THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
WHAT YOU SAW BY THAT ONE JUDGE
IN THAT ONE COURT, THAT ON
STATE, THAT'S NOT AMERICA.
>> LET'S BRING IN FLORID
DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR AND
FORMER CANDIDATE FOR FLORIDA
GOVERNOR, NIKKI FREE, WH
RECENTLY GOT ARRESTED FO
PROTESTING FOR ABORTION RIGHTS
BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, WE KNOW
THAT THESE PILLS HAVE BECOME
INCREASINGLY SIGNIFICANT SINCE
ROE V. WADE WAS OVERTURNED
WHAT EFFECT WHAT TEXAS REALL
HAVE ON NATIONWIDE ACCESS, AND
THOSE COMMENTS FROM TH
SECRETARY.
DOES THAT GIVE YOU OPTIMISM?
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I
HAPPENING ACROSS OUR COUNTRY I
NOT AMERICAN
YOU, KNOW WE HAVE A SUPREM
COURT THAT UNDERMINES 50 YEARS
OF LAW, OF PROTECTIONS, OF
HEALTH CARE.
UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE STATE OF
FLORIDA, AND STATES ACROSS THE
SOUTH AND ACROSS THE NATION,
WE'RE SEEING THESE AGREE JUS
BANDS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ABOUT T
PASS HERE, IN THE STATE OF
FLORIDA, A SIX-WEEK, NEAR BAN,
ON ABORTION.
BEING ABLE TO HAVE OTHER ACCES
TO TOOLS IN ORDER TO PROTECT
WOMEN'S HEALTH CARE, AND T
PROTECT WOMEN, IT'S ESSENTIAL.
IT DOES GIVE ME HOPE THAT THER
ARE OTHERS OUT THERE FIGHTIN
TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE PROTECTIN
WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
>> THIS TALK ABOUT WHAT'
HAPPENING IN YOUR STATE.
AS YOU MENTIONED, FLORIDA RIGH
NOW COULD IMPROVE THAT ABORTIO
BAN FROM 16.
THE GOVERNOR HAS SIGNALED THAT
HE'LL SIGN
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR WOME
IN YOUR STATE?
>> WHAT THIS WILL MEAN FOR
WOMEN IN OUR STATE IS THAT
WOMEN WILL DIE
MAKE NO JOKE ABOUT THAT.
WOMEN ACROSS OUR STATE WIL
HAVE TO EITHER, OF ONE, MAKE U
THEIR OWN PERSONAL DECISIONS T
TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO
EITHER HAVE A PROCEDURE ON
THEIR OWN, OR, THEY HAVE T
FIND THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES T
LEAVE THE STATE OF FLORIDA
WHICH, OF COURSE, WE KNOW TH
REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE LOOKING
DEVIN ACTUAL BAN ON ABORTION
THIS IS NOT GOING TO STOP HERE
IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
WE NEED WOMEN ACROSS OUR STATE
AND OUR ALLIES, TO STAND UP,
AND FIGHT BACK
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THA
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE I
GOING TO BE HEALTH CAR
REPERCUSSIONS ASSOCIATED WIT
THIS BAN
UNFORTUNATELY, HERE IN, 75% OF
FLORIDIANS DON'T WANT THIS
BUT WE HAVE A GOVERNOR WHO I
HELL-BENT ON RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
ON THE BACKS OF PEOPLE HERE IN
THE STATE OF FLORIDA
SO IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR MYSELF
AS WELL AS THE PROTESTERS, AND
OUR MINORITY LEADER IN THE
SENATE, LAUREN, BOOK TO SHOW
THAT WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT, AN
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO
STAND WITH US, AND MAKE SURE
THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT
IS HAPPENING HERE IN THE STATE
OF FLORIDA, AND THIS IS NO
GOING TO STOP HERE
IT IS GOING ACROSS THE ENTIR
COUNTRY UNTIL WE START SEEIN
MORE PEOPLE FIGHTING BACK.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT
ON MONDAY, YOU WERE ARRESTED
WE WERE SHOWING SOME VIDEO O
THAT
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOU
WERE CHARGED WITH TRESPASSING,
I BELIEVE, AFTER, A WARNING.
YOU WERE TOLD YOU COULD BE, TH
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, UNTIL
SUNSET
WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE, AND
WHY WAS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR YO
TO DO THIS KNOWING THE
CONSEQUENCES
>> LET'S TAKE A HISTORY LESSON
FOR A SECOND
ACROSS THE HISTORY OF AMERICA,
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PROTESTING,
AND FIGHTING AND WARS, AND
BEING A RUSTED AND SOM
ULTIMATELY BEING KILLED TO
PROTECT RIGHTS
TO EXPAND RIGHTS, TO PROTECT
THE THINGS THAT WE HOLD TRUE A
AMERICANS.
SO KNOWING THAT WE HAVE TH
POTENTIAL OF A SIX-WEE
ABORTION BAN IN THE STATE OF
FLORIDA.
THAT 75% OF FLORIDIANS DON'T
APPROVE OF
THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SUR
THAT OUR VOICES WERE HEARD
THAT WE WERE HEARD OUT LOUD AN
CLEAR, AND THAT WE ARE
PEACEFULLY PROTESTING OUTSID
OF CITY HALL
THE REASON WE COULDN'T BE AT
THE CAPITOL IS BECAUSE RON
DESANTIS, IN THE LAST COUPLE
YEARS, HAS MADE IT NEA
IMPOSSIBLE TO PROTEST, EXERCIS
A FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, AN
PROTESTER GOVERNMENTS.
WE CAN'T GO INSIDE OF TH
CAPITOL.
WE CAN'T PROTEST AT THE CAPITO
COMPOUND
HE'S EVEN LOOKING TO EXPAN
OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL COMPOUND
INTO THE CITY LIMITS
SO WE GOT WOMEN ACROSS OUR
STATES, THEY CAME TO
TALLAHASSEE, TRYING TO FIGHT
BACK, BRING AWARENESS TO THE
SITUATION.
WE KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE AR
WITH US.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE
WEREN'T ABLE TO EXERCISE OUR
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS
WE WERE SITTING THERE,
PEACEFULLY PROTESTING.
THE CITY HAD JUST ENACTED,
LITERALLY, THREE DAYS EARLIER,
THAT THIS WAS DEEMED A PARK IN
FRONT OF CITY HALL
WE WERE ARRESTED FOR SITTING
THERE PEACEFULLY, AND TRYING T
EXERCISE OUR FIRST RIGHTS,
THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS T
