00:00There's no point in saying good morning,

00:02because it certainly is not one.

00:04Because of Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell,

00:08and the Republican Party,

00:09their supermajority in the Supreme Court,

00:12American women today have less freedom than their mothers.

00:15It's such a contradiction.

00:18Yesterday, they say the states cannot make laws

00:22governing the constitutional right to bear arms.

00:26And today, they're saying the exact reverse,

00:31that the states can overturn a constitutional right

00:35for 50 years, a constitutional right

00:39for a woman having the right to choose.

00:42The hypocrisy is raging, but the harm is endless.

00:48What this means to women is such an insult.

00:51It's a slap in the face to women

00:53about using their own judgment

00:57to make their own decisions about their reproductive freedom.

01:02Right now, they're saying in states

01:04that they can arrest doctors and all the rest.

01:07What is happening here?

01:09What is happening here?

01:10A woman's fundamental health decisions

01:11are her own to make in consultation with her doctor,

01:15her faith, her family,

01:17not some right-wing politicians

01:20that Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell packed the court with.

01:25While Republicans seek to punish and control women,

01:28Democrats will keep fighting ferociously

01:31to enshrine Roe v.

01:33Wade into the law of the land.

01:37This cruel ruling is outrageous and heart-wrenching,

01:41but make no mistake, it's all on the ballot in November.

01:44How bad those justices coming before the senators

01:47and saying that they respected, sorry to say,

01:52the precedent of the court,

01:54that they respected the right of privacy

01:56in the Constitution of the United States.

02:01Did you hear that?

02:05Were they not telling the truth then?
