Roe v. Wade Overturned: The Ripple Effect on Same-Sex Marriage

acquisition of now there's some question as to whether but but they're actually doing that there they're not they're not it's it's it's scary when they try to get to that granular level of control when it was perfectly good uh for a lot of years now people would complain different but with row we had a kind of a semi certainty of access to abortion at least in the first trimester um and so I I think a lot of people are very comfortable with that and that's I think is going to be one of the major issues in this election and for Trump to sit there and say everybody wanted it overruled everybody wanted it's like no we no we didn't and you know what that's gonna that was that was not everybody is it's gonna and it's going to be the same talking points you know there were they when when when the court decision came out with with same-sex marriage legalizing it nationwide there are states on the books where there are laws like in California where there is a trigger law that will go into effect where gay marriage will become illegal on the ballot this year as you know we have you know uh measure or proposition three um which is you know the reproductive not reproductive I'm sorry marriage Freedom uh act and um those types of things you know people like you said there was this sense of complacency with row being in place and us not thinking about these trigger laws from the early 1900s we're in the exact same place again and you know I mean like there's so many things that were left up to the states only for a future Administration to undo completely you know and and and one of the things that I think that that is kind of a reality is there may be a lot of Republican women who say that they are opposed to abortion but they were opposed to it knowing that roow was there to give that protection to yeah to people and so they could talk loudly but I think when they get into The Ballot Box and and we have a constitutional uh Amendment we actually have two Constitutional Amendments on abortion uh before uh the voters this fall most likely I don't think they've been fully certified yet but um one of them is is like the uh mother and baby protection act or something some weird thing like that and it it it sets abortion at 12 weeks which is what the current law is in Nebraska after they um they changed it from uh I think it was a 20 week uh procedure uh the last legislative session but they um we have two of them and so one of them and and this is where I guess the Republicans are starting to get smart realize they lose on these constitutional uh amendments for abortion uh when they're on the ballot so they decided to create one also that makes it a 12 week ban but it also continues to give the legislature to make even further restrictions so so it's not really a constitutional protection because the legislature can go in and say uh zero weeks there is you you may not get an abortion for any reason you know in Nebraska they would have that other is the Constitutional Amendment which would be the functional equivalent of row uh and um so I was been Gathering signatures for that and and it's going to be on the balance and I think that is something that when those Republican women get in there and they think about being raped to their husband getting pregnant wanting a divorce and and and not wanting to carry a child you or their daughter or their sister or their cousin and and you know what would it be like to go through that I I think a lot of them with their conscious it's like look I may not do it but I don't think we should prevent somebody who's in that position for me I think it's going to be um passed without it without a problem uh and as we've seen it in Ohio we saw yeah and so I think also too not Not only was there this kind of like complacency with row being in place but also too there's a lack of stories then about people being victimized by a lack of care so when row is in place you're not having as many of these stories come to the Forefront on how a ban actually is affecting somebody much like for a long period of time trans people lived relatively unmolested by the federal government up until all of a sudden the last three years where we just have this dirt of State legislatur trying to restrict gender affirming care restrict bathrooms restrict everything under the Sun but then what that does is it also creates people like me that want to come out and actually tell their story and tell it loudly and tell it to a lot of people and then people start to get to know the person behind the word trans right the person behind the word abortion and those stories start to propagate through the public they're featured on stage at the DNC every body listening to that story tonight of that poor young lady who had to go through that um with her I think it was her stepfather or uncle or something but but like these stories are now being told and so I think that woman in Nebraska as she is going to The Ballot Box if she did get an opportunity to listen to that story you know that's going to be something that's going to be weighing on her very heavily as she's casting that ballot and that's another reason why I say I don't think the Republicans realize hit them because they don't realize how off their me they they've gone so radical that they're losing folks yeah no agreed well then after that I said it was building up to a crescendo but I might have lied because after that and maybe this is an unpopular opinion maybe it's just me but I'm really glad that we chose Tim Walls as the running mate because then Andy Basher got up and look Andy Basher is an amazing politician what he's been able to do in Kentucky in Kentucky as a Democrat right I mean like that's amazing that is absolutely amazing and he deserves all the credit for that but I mean he's not getting me fired up he's not getting me fired up in his Oxford blue shirt and his khakis and coming out here and just you know doing his thing he tried his best I think but like personally I think it was maybe like maybe we should have put him in the beginning you know is the crescendo was a little bit lower is this is this a popular opinion unpopular opinion what did you think of Andy speech I thought it was fantastic and and the energy level okay okay you know it's hard to follow Jasmine it really was I'm sorry you know it's uh there are um and I think Shapiro had had had spoken even earlier also so we had the people who had been in the mix and and and and I'm I think pretty much everyone there is very very happy with Coach walls being on the ticket it it is it is like it you know it it and and the messaging that they get and and what they're doing to me it just is when America gets to see this they're they're going to realize yeah we don't want oh absolutely he
