Alcindor: Women ‘Extremely Upset’ Roe Overturned, Republican Women Feel ‘Betrayed’ by Party

RUSH TRANSCRIPT Joining me ░░░░░░░░ McCaskill and Yamiche Alcindor ░░░░░░░░ of Washington week on ░░░░░░░░ I m doing to ░░░░░░░░ with you This is ░░░░░░░░ work by you yamiche ░░░░░░░░ Tudor Dixon is unapologetically ░░░░░░░░ anti abortion but she ░░░░░░░░ seem like she s ░░░░░░░░ a 1990s campaign Crime ░░░░░░░░ big government Are you ░░░░░░░░ on the ground in ░░░░░░░░ that there is a ░░░░░░░░ big government voter there ░░░░░░░░ more crime big government ░░░░░░░░ when you re talking ░░░░░░░░ folks in the world ░░░░░░░░ more voters who say ░░░░░░░░ s reproductive rights and ░░░░░░░░ our full citizenship is ░░░░░░░░ the ballot My sense ░░░░░░░░ on the ground is ░░░░░░░░ are extremely upset about ░░░░░░░░ Roe decision and that ░░░░░░░░ women that are Republican ░░░░░░░░ Democrat Tudor Dixon while ░░░░░░░░ s on record as ░░░░░░░░ she supports banning abortion ░░░░░░░░ no exceptions for rape ░░░░░░░░ incest she doesn t ░░░░░░░░ to talk about that ░░░░░░░░ much She said it ░░░░░░░░ she s clearly on ░░░░░░░░ record but when I ░░░░░░░░ interviewing her I asked ░░░░░░░░ over and over again ░░░░░░░░ she wouldn t own ░░░░░░░░ to it on camera ░░░░░░░░ think the reason that ░░░░░░░░ happening is because she ░░░░░░░░ that s not really ░░░░░░░░ popular position You played ░░░░░░░░ sound of Jessica leach ░░░░░░░░ I think is the ░░░░░░░░ of voter that Democrats ░░░░░░░░ turn out in big ░░░░░░░░ She was a long ░░░░░░░░ Republican She considered herself ░░░░░░░░ opponent of abortion rights ░░░░░░░░ the moment they were ░░░░░░░░ away She said she ░░░░░░░░ t stop crying for ░░░░░░░░ after Roe was overturned ░░░░░░░░ once went to an ░░░░░░░░ clinic when she was ░░░░░░░░ but she decided to ░░░░░░░░ her son She said ░░░░░░░░ know the physicality of ░░░░░░░░ a child and I ░░░░░░░░ not in good conscience ░░░░░░░░ to coerce women into ░░░░░░░░ babies Both sides are ░░░░░░░░ There s the referendum ░░░░░░░░ this hotly contested governor ░░░░░░░░ race so people are ░░░░░░░░ to mobilize on their ░░░░░░░░ but my sense is ░░░░░░░░ is definitely a top ░░░░░░░░ for voters Claire to ░░░░░░░░ the giveaway is what ░░░░░░░░ Graham is doing Because ░░░░░░░░ thing is it s ░░░░░░░░ that Republicans have gotten ░░░░░░░░ memo that even the ░░░░░░░░ hasn t quite gotten ░░░░░░░░ this is a mobilizing ░░░░░░░░ a foundational issue for ░░░░░░░░ and I know wheem ░░░░░░░░ are evangelical Christians who ░░░░░░░░ anti abortion who are ░░░░░░░░ 38 hot angry about ░░░░░░░░ decision because they don ░░░░░░░░ like the idea of ░░░░░░░░ being dictated to and ░░░░░░░░ to give birth by ░░░░░░░░ state Rape victims everything ░░░░░░░░ Lindsey Graham is trying ░░░░░░░░ just turn out the ░░░░░░░░ side He has 45 ░░░░░░░░ sponsors for this legislation ░░░░░░░░ His bill would have ░░░░░░░░ exceptions only for minors ░░░░░░░░ the doctor gets documentation ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement reporting a ░░░░░░░░ It would have criminal ░░░░░░░░ three to five years ░░░░░░░░ prison for helping anyone ░░░░░░░░ get an abortion That ░░░░░░░░ his previous bill We ░░░░░░░░ t know if this ░░░░░░░░ has the same things ░░░░░░░░ it That bill had ░░░░░░░░ 20 week ban Now ░░░░░░░░ s rolled it back ░░░░░░░░ 15 weeks What do ░░░░░░░░ make of this as ░░░░░░░░ a political move Lindz ░░░░░░░░ lindsay lindsay I think ░░░░░░░░ he thought he was ░░░░░░░░ was somehow shifting the ░░░░░░░░ d bait over trying ░░░░░░░░ make Democrats look extreme ░░░░░░░░ here s what s ░░░░░░░░ this bill First he ░░░░░░░░ t have anywhere near ░░░░░░░░ cosponsors for this bill ░░░░░░░░ was the old bill ░░░░░░░░ bad Republicans in the ░░░░░░░░ are very upset with ░░░░░░░░ They want this topic ░░░░░░░░ go away They do ░░░░░░░░ want it to be ░░░░░░░░ So what does he ░░░░░░░░ He not only introduces ░░░░░░░░ bill he puts in ░░░░░░░░ bill that everything these ░░░░░░░░ have done like my ░░░░░░░░ making doctors have to ░░░░░░░░ between prison and the ░░░░░░░░ of their patient making ░░░░░░░░ who have been victimized ░░░░░░░░ an uncle or somebody ░░░░░░░░ boyfriend and been raped ░░░░░░░░ they are forced to ░░░░░░░░ that child to term ░░░░░░░░ of that gets to ░░░░░░░░ This bill lets all ░░░░░░░░ the really extreme stuff ░░░░░░░░ in place It just ░░░░░░░░ more liberal states that ░░░░░░░░ respect women s rights ░░░░░░░░ do this federal standard ░░░░░░░░ he thought he could ░░░░░░░░ of confuse all this ░░░░░░░░ make it all about ░░░░░░░░ term abortions No women ░░░░░░░░ smarter than that And ░░░░░░░░ would just say and ░░░░░░░░ think it s really ░░░░░░░░ for us to say ░░░░░░░░ Over and over again ░░░░░░░░ can talk about this ░░░░░░░░ an important issue But ░░░░░░░░ only way we make ░░░░░░░░ an important issue is ░░░░░░░░ all of us find ░░░░░░░░ people tomorrow that aren ░░░░░░░░ registered to vote and ░░░░░░░░ them registered I mean ░░░░░░░░ states like even South ░░░░░░░░ yamiche you had a ░░░░░░░░ legislator a woman who ░░░░░░░░ out and said she ░░░░░░░░ completely anti abortion but ░░░░░░░░ idea that male legislators ░░░░░░░░ her state would not ░░░░░░░░ allow exceptions for rape ░░░░░░░░ incest she was disgusted ░░░░░░░░ it This is an ░░░░░░░░ that s crossing outside ░░░░░░░░ the bounds of Democratic ░░░░░░░░ Certainly and to me ░░░░░░░░ is not about political ░░░░░░░░ based on my reporting ░░░░░░░░ the ground It s ░░░░░░░░ women feeling like legislatures ░░░░░░░░ lawmakers are being inhumane ░░░░░░░░ women That s the ░░░░░░░░ Jessica leach that voter ░░░░░░░░ has changed her mind ░░░░░░░░ her party affiliation I ░░░░░░░░ say this isn t ░░░░░░░░ someone saying I don ░░░░░░░░ like your stance on ░░░░░░░░ This is someone saying ░░░░░░░░ feel betrayed by my ░░░░░░░░ Party As a result ░░░░░░░░ m changing my registration ░░░░░░░░ being a Democrat That ░░░░░░░░ you that women are ░░░░░░░░ at these actions and ░░░░░░░░ this is not the ░░░░░░░░ I signed up for ░░░░░░░░ even if I thought ░░░░░░░░ myself as an opponent ░░░░░░░░ abortion rights I didn ░░░░░░░░ think someone who was ░░░░░░░░ or a victim of ░░░░░░░░ would be forced to ░░░░░░░░ this She also told ░░░░░░░░ she was talking about ░░░░░░░░ birth control This goes ░░░░░░░░ abortion rights There are ░░░░░░░░ lot of women saying ░░░░░░░░ big government is in ░░░░░░░░ doctor s office telling ░░░░░░░░ about abortions they might ░░░░░░░░ tell me about birth ░░░░░░░░ and correspondent ruception That ░░░░░░░░ a scary thing for ░░░░░░░░ lot of women.
