CNN NewsNight With Abby Phillip Protecting Conception Drugs & Abortion Rights 2024 08 08

PROTECTING CONCEPTION DRUGS. I'M SORRY. YEAH. IT'S CETERA SO HERE IS WHAT HE SAID WHEN SOMEBODY ASKED HIM ABOUT RIGHTS TO THE ABORTION PILL SURE YOU COULD YOU COULD DO THINGS THAT WILL BE WOULD SUPPLEMENT ABSOLUTELY. >> AND THOSE THINGS ARE PRETTY OPEN AND YOU MAY END LIKE KENNY ACTUALLY GET AWAY FROM THIS? >> NO, I DON'T THINK THAT AGAIN. I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO COMPARE IF THE ISSUE IS GOING TO BE AS SALIENT IN 24 AS IT WAS IN 22 MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE THE ARGUMENT. HE'S RIGHT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE I THINK IN 22 PART OF THE REASON THE DEMOCRATS WERE ABLE TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS THEY WERE, WAS BECAUSE THE MOTIVATION HAD MOVED FROM THE PRO-LIFE SIDE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ATTION, Y T DISWERS, BUTOU GET MEWHERE BETW WHATEVER THE EUROPEAN POLICY IS, 12 WEEKS AND 15 WEEKS. BUT THEN WHEN YOU WERE REPUBLICANS HAVE FAILED AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T MESSAGE ON THIS IS THAT WE CALL S OUE 'I DON'T WLE YOU TRIED IT. AND VIRGINIA, I'D LOVE TO HEAR AT THEM BECAUSE THIS FUNDAMENTALLY NOT TRUE. >> SO WHAT YOU HAVE HERE, I MEAN, YOU ASKED THE QUESTION WHAT HAPPENS HERE IS THAT YOU HAVE DONALD TRUMP AND LET'S JUST SPEAK PLAIN ABOUT IT. WHO PUT THREE JUSTICES ON THE SUPREME COURT WHO DISREGARDED PRECEDENT AND OVERTURN ROE V. WADE. >> AND SO YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO WASH YOUR HANDS OF THAT AND SO WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM, AND I JUST WANTED TO LEAVE YOU'RE CLAIMING CREDIT FOR IT RIGHT. >> IT'S JUST BE PLAIN ABOUT IT. LIKE WHAT WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD YOUR PERIOD, RIGHT? I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. YOU CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. DONALD TRUMP CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE, THERE, TOO MANY MEN, PARTICULARLY DONALD TRUMP AND OTHERS, WHO ARE GETTING INVOLVED IN DECISIONS IT'S A WOMEN. AND SO WHEN YOU HAVE A RESTRICTION, LIKE SIX WEEKS, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT? RIGHT. WHEN YOU HAVE A RESTRICTION OF SIX WEEKS, YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SAY 06 WEEKS IS FINE, PARTICULARLY IN STATES LIKE SOUTH CAROLINA, ET CETERA. YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, WE CANNOT MAKE THAT DECISION BECAUSE THAT SHOULD BE A DECISION THAT'S MADE BETWEEN A HUSBAND OR WIFE OR YOU'RE NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTION. IS THAT THERE IS I'VE STUDIED ABORTION STATISTICS FOR 30 YEARS THERE IS THERE IS A WINDOW IN WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS BEEN. AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF LEGAL ABORTIONS. AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF RESTRICTIONS DEMOCRATS, NOT ALL, BUT SOME DEMOCRATS ARE OUTSIDE OF THIS WINDOW AND PURGING THINGS THAT BUT THE REPUBLICANS OVERWHELMING OVERWHELMING MAJORITY FRIDAY OF DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AN ABORTION UP UNTIL THE TIME OF BIRTH BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT BUT BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY I WILL ALSO TELL YOU THIS THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT REPUBLICAN IN THE EYE AND YOU ASK THEM, SHOULD YOU HAVE AN EXCEPTION LIKE J.D. VANCE, FOR EXAMPLE, OR OTHERS? SHOULD YOU HAVE AN EXCEPTION FOR RAPE, INCEST, OR THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER, THEN REPUBLICANS, ALL OF A SUDDEN WANTS TO INSERT THEMSELVES INTO THIS CONVERSATION. BUT YOU CAN'T BEAT FOR FREEDOM AND ALL OF THESE OTHER THINGS WHEN I'M SIMPLY TELLING YOU THAT THAT DECISION SHOULD BE FOUR AND WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT AND WE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT I ONE ARGUMENT HERE BECAUSE I THINK HE'S BEEN HAVING THIS PART
