00:00Talk about reproductive care in SCOTUS. Three years ago after Dobbs, the MAGA

00:06Supreme Court has once again doubled down on its war on women. The court handed

00:10down a decision that immediately endangers funding for Planned

00:13Parenthood, one of the biggest organizations for affordable women's

00:17health care across the whole country. And it's not just about reproductive care.

00:22It endangers women's health care altogether. Clinics will close, women will

00:28lose access to cancer screenings, contraceptives, physical exams for

00:32common illnesses, and so much more. For many women, Planned Parenthood is their

00:36only resource to get health care services at an affordable rate. Make no

00:42mistake, Senate Republicans own the consequences of this loathsome decision.

00:47They packed our court with extremists. They're the chief architects of the

00:51dismal state of women's health care in America. Senate Democrats will never, never

00:56relent in our efforts to ensure all women in America have high quality health

01:00care. Access to health care is a basic right, no matter what the radicals on the

01:05MAGA court may think.
