AND PONDING EVERY KIM. THANK YOU RIGHT NOW AT 62 ON YOUR TUESDAY MORNING. WE WANT TO GET BACK TO
THIS BREAKING NEWS THAT WE’VE
BEEN FOLLOWING ALL MORNING LONG
SO WE CAN EXPECT MORE
INFORMATION TODAY ABOUT THIS
WHOLE LEAKED DRAFT. IT’S A DRAFT
OPINION FROM THE SUPREME COURT
THAT INDICATES, VERSUS WADE WILL
BE OVERTURNED, SO THE DRAFT
OPINION WAS PUBLISHED BY NEWS
SITE POLITICO AND WHAT COULD BE
ONE OF THE MOST PRECEDENTED
LEAKS IN MODERN HISTORY. NBC
NEWS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO VERIFY
THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE DOCUMENT
AND THE SUPREME COURT SO FAR,
ISN’T COMMENTING. THE COURT’S
FINAL OPINION IS NOT EXPECTED
UNTIL JULY, MEANING IT’S
POSSIBLE THAT THE JUSTICES COULD
CHANGE VOTES. WAIT NOT BACK.
WOMEN IN THE U. S. COULD LOSE
THEIR FEDERAL RIGHT TO HAVE
ABORTIONS BY THE END OF JUNE.
POLITICO HAS OBTAINED THIS DRAFT
OF A U. S SUPREME COURT OPINION
, IT SUGGESTS THE JUSTICES ARE
POISED TO OVERTURN ROE VERSUS
WADE THIS TERM. NOTHING’S FINAL
YET, BUT DEMONSTRATORS AND BOTH
SIDES ARE TAKING TO THE STREETS
. IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO
FINALLY SEE JUSTICE FOR THE
UNBORN IN THIS COUNTRY.
SOMETIMES JUSTICES CHANGE THEIR
VOTES BEFORE OPINIONS ARE
FINALIZED. BUT IF THIS OPINION
STANDS AS WRITTEN STATES ALONE
WOULD REGULATE ABORTIONS. WE
WILL SEE 20-6 STATES MOVED TO
ENSURE THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE
CONTROL OVER OUR OWN BODIES. THE
CEO OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD SAYS
SHE’S BASING THAT PREDICTION AND
CURRENT STATE LAWS AND DEBATES
OTHER PROGRESSIVES ARE LAMENTING
THE DRAFT OPINION. WHILE MANY
CONSERVATIVES REJOICE. A
PARALLEL REACTION OF OUTRAGE
OVER HOW THE DRAFT CAME OUT,
PREDICTED IT WOULD HAPPEN, BUT I
SURE AS HELL DIDN’T PREDICT IT
WOULD HAPPEN THIS WAY, ANALYSTS
SAY IT’S AN UNPRECEDENTED BREACH
OF SUPREME COURT SECRECY AND
CONFIDENTIALITY. CONGRESS CAN
PASS A LAW REINSTATING FEDERAL
ABORTION RIGHTS, BUT DEMOCRATS
NEED MORE VOTES TO DO THAT, AND
REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT TO DO
THAT. SO THIS WILL LIKELY BE A
RALLYING CRY FOR THE MIDTERM
ELECTIONS. I THINK THAT THE
PROTEST THAT YOU’RE SEEING IN
FRONT OF THE SUPREME COURT IS
JUST THE BEGINNING. AND SOURCES
ARE ALSO TELLING US THAT JUSTICE
JOHN ROBERTS DOES NOT WANT TO
COMPLETELY OVERTURN ROE V. WADE
THEY SAY THAT IT’S LIKELY HE’LL
DISSENT FROM THE MAJORITY, AS
WILL THE COURTS. THREE LIBERAL
MEMBERS. NOW IF ROE VERSUS WADE
IS OVERTURNED, THAT MEANS A
MICHIGAN LAW FROM ALL THE WAY
BACK IN 1931 WOULD MAKE ABORTION
IN MICHIGAN ILLEGAL AND LET’S GO
LIVE TO NICK MONACELLI. HE JOINS
US NOW THIS MORNING. WE KNOW
GOVERNOR WHITMER HAS ALREADY
MADE IT CLEAR EARLIER IN THE
YEAR THAT SHE WANTS THAT 19
THIRTIES LAW OVERTURNED. YEAH
SHE DOES. SO NOT ONLY DOES SHE
WANTED THE W WANTS IT AND A SLEW
OF OTHERS. OTHERS WILL FIGHT
AGAINST IT, THOUGH, BUT THERE’S
A FEW KEY THINGS HERE. MICHIGAN
IS ONE OF EIGHT STATES THAT
STILL HAS AN ABORTION LAW ON THE
BOOKS. IF ROE V. WADE WORD TO BE
OVERTURNED BY THE U. S SUPREME
COURT. WHAT HAPPENS IN MICHIGAN
IS A LITTLE TRICKY. THERE IS A
LAW IN OUR STATE’S LAST UPDATED
IN 1931. THAT MAKES IT A FELONY
TO USE AN INSTRUMENT OR
ADMINISTER A SUBSTANCE WITH THE
INTENT TO INDUCE AN ABORTION
UNLESS NECESSARY TO PRESERVE THE
PREGNANT PERSON’S LIFE. SO THE
LAW MAKES MOST ABORTIONS IN
MICHIGAN ILLEGAL EXCEPT THAT ROE
VERSUS WADE SUPERSEDED MICHIGAN
LAW. IF THAT GETS OVERTURNED,
THE POWER REVERTS BACK TO THE
STATES. HOWEVER MICHIGAN
GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER IS
ALREADY WORKING TO CHANGE THAT
LAW. IT IS ALSO FILED LAWSUITS
TO 0.2 MILLION WOMEN WILL BE
IMPACTED BY THIS. THOSE ARE
WOMEN WHO ARE REPRODUCTIVE AGE,
THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC DECISION A
WOMAN WILL MAKE IN HER LIFETIME
IS WHETHER AND WHEN TO HAVE A
CHILD AND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
ARGUMENT ARE THOSE WHO ARE PRO
LIFE LIKE RIGHT TO LIFE OF
MICHIGAN, HAPPY THAT ABORTION
COULD BE ILLEGAL AGAIN. I THINK
ABOUT IT AS A LIFE OF A NON BORN
CHILD. IT’S A HUMAN RIGHT. TO
EXIST, AND THAT RIGHT IS BEING
STRIPPED FROM 95 BABIES TODAY IN
THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. THEY WILL
95 BABIES WILL DIE IN ABORTIONS
TODAY IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
95 TOMORROW AND 95 YESTERDAY,
HOWEVER, SOME PROSECUTORS ACROSS
OUR STATE ARE ALREADY SAYING
THEY WILL NOT ENFORCE THE LAW
MAKING ABORTION ILLEGAL.
INCLUDING STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
DANA NESSEL AND WAYNE COUNTY
PROSECUTOR KIM WORTHY, BUT I
WILL DO FOR MY CONSTITUENTS IN
WAYNE COUNTY. I WILL NOT
CRIMINALIZE A WOMEN’S RIGHT TO
CHOOSE, AND I WILL NOT
CRIMINALIZE THE WOMEN’S
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. SO THE U.
S. SUPREME COURT IS EXPECTED TO
ISSUE THEIR FINAL RULING
SOMETIME OVER THE SUMMER. JUNE,
MAYBE JULY. THE MICHIGAN BATTLE
IS AN ONGOING THING, BUT I’M
SURE THE GOVERNOR THE A C L U,
AND OTHERS WILL TRY TO
STREAMLINE THIS PROCESS TO SEE
IF THEY CAN GET THAT 1931 LAW
REPEALED BEFORE ROE VERSUS WADE
GETS CHANGED, IF THAT’S WHAT THE
U. S. SUPREME COURT DECIDES TO
