NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. NEW FALLOUT TONIGHT OVER THE POSSIBILITY OF ROE VERSUS WADE
BEING OVERTURNED BY THE SUPREME
COURT WITH ANOTHER GROUP OF
METRO DETROITERS CONCERNED ABOUT
WHAT THIS COULD MEAN FOR THEM.
THE SITUATION IN WASHINGTON AND
HERE IN MICHIGAN CONTINUES TO
RAPIDLY DEVELOPED 48 HOURS AFTER
THAT SUPREME COURT DRAFT WAS
LEAKED LIVE. LOOK AT THE SUPREME
COURT TONIGHT WHERE THAT
INVESTIGATION HAS STARTED INTO
THE UNPRECEDENTED BREACH OF
PROTOCOL PROTESTERS ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE ISSUE. WE’RE BACK
OUT THERE AND FOR MUCH OF THE
DAY, THOUGH, AS YOU CAN SEE
PRETTY QUIET NOW AS WE’RE
GETTING INTO THE SHANK OF THE
EVENING, RIGHT? WELL, HERE’S
WHERE THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW IN
WASHINGTON. THE MARSHAL OF THE
SUPREME COURT IS TASKED WITH
CARRYING OUT THIS INVESTIGATION
, BUT LEGAL ANALYSTS SAY THE
LEAKER IS UNLIKELY TO BE
PROSECUTED IF THEY HAD
LEGITIMATE ACCESS TO THE
DOCUMENT. IN MICHIGAN, A GROUP
OF DEMOCRATIC PROSECUTORS FILED
A BRIEF SUPPORTING GOVERNOR
WHITMAN’S EFFORT TO HAVE A 1931
ABORTION BAN DECLARED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THAT BAND
WOULD KICK IN IF THE SUPREME
COURT DOES, IN FACT, OVERTURN
ROE V. WADE. ABORTION RIGHTS
ADVOCATES ARE ALSO CIRCULATING
PETITIONS TO GET A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT. WE DON’T KNOW
WHICH ONE ULTIMATELY COULD BE
SUCCESSFUL. WE THINK WE’VE GOT A
HIGH POSSIBILITY ON BOTH FRONTS.
BUT WE’VE GOT TO PURSUE BOTH
FRONTS BECAUSE THIS IS A DIRE
MOMENT IN OUR COUNTRY, AND
CERTAINLY WE ARE ON THE
FRONTLINE OF IT RIGHT HERE IN
MICHIGAN. TWO REPUBLICAN
PROSECUTORS, MEANWHILE, ARE
ASKING THE STATE SUPREME COURT
TO THROW OUT THE GOVERNOR’S
LAWSUIT. THE COURT HAS NOT YET
SET A DATE FOR HEARING THE CASE
. THERE ARE NOW CONCERNS ABOUT
THE RIPPLE EFFECTS OF THAT
SUPREME COURT DRAFT DOCUMENT
TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN WARNED
SETBACKS FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
COULD BE COMING NEXT. PAMELA
OSBORNE TALKED TO ADVOCATES IN
DETROIT. AND SHE JOINS US LIVE
WITH MORE PAM. WELL NOT ONLY ARE
THESE ADVOCATES REALLY BUILDING
ALLIANCES WITH OTHER GROUPS
ACROSS THE STATE, THEY’RE
ENGAGING VOTERS TO LET THEM KNOW
WHAT IS POTENTIALLY AT STAKE
HERE. EVERYONE SHOULD BE
CONCERNED RIGHT ABOUT NOW FOR
THE PAST YEAR, JAREN TATTON AND
FELLOW ACTIVISTS AT LGBT DETROIT
HAVE BEEN MOBILIZING IN THE
EVENT OF A CHALLENGE TO ROE
VERSUS WADE. TATTON SAW THE
WRITING ON THE WALL THEN AND
WORRIES LGBT Q. PLUS RIGHTS ARE
NEXT VOTING RIGHTS ARE BEING
PULLED BACK NOW. THE ATTACK IS
ON ROE VERSUS WADE. AND SURE
ENOUGH, THE ATTACK WILL BE ON
MARRIAGE EQUALITY. WHAT ARE THE
NEXT THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE
ATTACKED? ON WEDNESDAY,
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN EXPRESSED A
SIMILAR CONCERN. WHAT HAPPENS IF
YOU HAVE STAGE CHANGED THE LAW,
SAYING THAT THAT CHILDREN WHO
ARE LGBT Q CAMPAIGN CLASSROOMS
WITH OTHER CHILDREN. HIS ADULT
IS THAT LEGIT UNDER THE WAY THAT
THE DECISIONS WRITTEN 2015, THE
SUPREME COURT RULED MAKING
MARRIAGE EQUALITY, A REALITY FOR
ALL AMERICANS IN THE PAST,
JUSTICES SAMUEL ALITO AND
CLARENCE THOMAS HAVE CALLED FOR
REVIEWING THE LANDMARK RULING
SCARY IT’S SCARY THINKING ABOUT
HOW EVERYBODY IS NOT EQUAL, HOW
EVERYBODY DOESN’T HAVE THE SAME
LIBERTIES, THE SAME FREEDOMS.
BURTON KNOWS THERE’S NO TIME TO
WASTE IF THEY’RE GOING TO
PROTECT THE STEPS FORWARD THAT
HAVE BEEN MADE. THAT’S NOT A
PRIVILEGE OF OURS TO BE ABLE TO
SIT AND WAIT. ON DIFFERENT
OUTCOMES. WE HAVE TO BE READY.
UM, ITS IT’S RAPID RESPONSE. AND
THEY, OF COURSE, ARE PAYING VERY
CAREFUL ATTENTION TO THE
UPCOMING MIDTERM ELECTIONS HERE
IN THE STATE. THAT’S BECAUSE IN
MICHIGAN THERE CANDIDATES
RUNNING FOR OFFICE WHO SAY
SHOULD THEY BE ELECTED OR GET
ONE OF THESE SEATS, THEY WOULD
MAKE SURE THAT THEY WOULD
INTRODUCE LEGISLATION THAT WOULD
NOT ALLOW CLASSROOM DISCUSSIONS
OF GENDER IDENTITY OR SEXUAL
ORIENTATION. SO AGAIN ADVOCATES
ACTIVISTS HERE REALLY WANTING
PEOPLE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND
THAT THESE ELECTIONS THESE
MIDTERMS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
AND WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS STATE
FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL
MICHIGANDERS REPORTING LIVE
