00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:04.690
alright. The battle over abortion rights taking center stage

00:00:04.690 --> 00:00:08.009
in our nation's capitol Senate democrats are expected to vote

00:00:08.009 --> 00:00:10.369
in just a few hours on a bill that would

00:00:10.369 --> 00:00:14.490
codify abortion rights news. 12 Daniel Campbell live in

00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:16.839
West I slipped right now with the latest details.

00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.859
Danielle. Right, keep in mind that under new

00:00:21.859 --> 00:00:24.570
york state law, abortion is legal and if roe

00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:27.589
v wade is overturned by the Supreme Court, it

00:00:27.589 --> 00:00:30.050
would not affect new york's abortion laws. In fact

00:00:30.050 --> 00:00:32.960
, just yesterday, governor Kathy huckle pledged 35 million

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.950
to support abortion providers in new york. Now,

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.520
as you mentioned today in D. C. The

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.630
Senate is voting on a bill to protect access to

00:00:41.630 --> 00:00:45.280
abortions. It comes after that draft opinion from the

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.030
High Court was leaked that suggested that they're likely to

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.229
overturn roe v wade. Now Majority leader chuck Schumer

00:00:54.229 --> 00:01:00.759
spoke yesterday about today's vote in the Senate. Tomorrow's

00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:02.880
vote will be one of the most important votes we

00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.159
take in this chamber in decades Because for the first

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.099
time in 50 years, a conservative majority, an

00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:15.450
extreme conservative majority on the Supreme Court is on the

00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:18.379
brink of declaring that women do not have the right

00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:19.500
to an abortion. They do not have the right

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:23.010
to control their own bodies. They do not have

00:01:23.010 --> 00:01:26.150
the right to health care in the ways that they

00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:33.030
believe they need and republicans are expected to block the

00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:34.890
bills, democrats currently do not have the votes needed

00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:38.650
. Senate. Senate democrats. They are going ahead

00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:42.099
with this symbolic vote in order to get lawmakers on

00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:44.590
the record about where they stand a roe v wade

00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.939
before the midterm elections will be watching this story very

00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:49.750
closely. We'll bring you the details as we get

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.859
