>> SOME DEMOCRATIC ILLINOIS

2
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:10,966
LAWMAKERS WANT TO EXPAND

3
00:00:08,466 --> 00:00:12,733
ABORTION RIGHTS HERE.

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,466
THE SPONSOR OF WHOI ABORTION

5
00:00:10,966 --> 00:00:17,733
BILLS SAYS THE TIMING IS RELATED

6
00:00:12,733 --> 00:00:19,266
TO PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD

7
00:00:14,466 --> 00:00:19,633
TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO SEEK

8
00:00:17,733 --> 00:00:21,066
ANTIABORTION SUPREME COURT

9
00:00:19,266 --> 00:00:21,933
NOMINEES.

10
00:00:19,633 --> 00:00:22,400
PARIS SCHUTZ HAS EXCLUSIVE

11
00:00:21,066 --> 00:00:23,633
DETAILS.

12
00:00:21,933 --> 00:00:25,633
PARIS?

13
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,000
>> THERE'S MOVEMENT TO EXPAND

14
00:00:23,633 --> 00:00:29,866
AND PROTECT ABORTION ACCESS FOR

15
00:00:25,633 --> 00:00:31,066
WOMEN IN ILLINOIS IN THE WAKE OF

16
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,666
PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP'S SUPPOSED

17
00:00:29,866 --> 00:00:34,233
STANCE ON THIS ISSUE.

18
00:00:31,066 --> 00:00:36,166
THERE ARE TWO PIECES OF

19
00:00:32,666 --> 00:00:37,033
LEGISLATION THAT THE SPONSOR

20
00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:38,800
SAYS COULD GET VOTED ON AS EARLY

21
00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:41,033
AS NEXT JANUARY.

22
00:00:37,033 --> 00:00:42,833
THERE IS A LOT OF URGENCY.

23
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,033
THE FIRST WOULD EXPAND ABORTION

24
00:00:41,033 --> 00:00:45,966
COVERAGE FOR ILLINOISANS ON THE

25
00:00:42,833 --> 00:00:56,100
STATE'S MEDICAID PLAN THE LOW

26
00:00:45,033 --> 00:00:56,100
INCOME HEALTH PLAN.

27
00:00:45,966 --> 00:00:56,100
AND

28
00:01:10,333 --> 00:01:14,800
APPREHENSIVE FOR A WHOLE HOST OF

29
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:15,100
REASONS.

30
00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:17,100
DOCTORS ARE VERY BLACK AND

31
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,533
WHITE.

32
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:21,966
THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE

33
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:24,500
A SERVICE FOR THEIR PATIENTS AND

34
00:01:19,533 --> 00:01:25,566
IT IS A VERY MURKY BODY OF LAW.

35
00:01:21,966 --> 00:01:27,433
AND WE NEED TO CLEAN IT UP.

36
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:29,666
>> ON THE PARTS OF DOCTORS

37
00:01:25,566 --> 00:01:31,466
BECAUSE THERE IS AN AUDITOR IN

38
00:01:27,433 --> 00:01:32,833
THE MEDICAID SYSTEM THAT AUDITS

39
00:01:29,666 --> 00:01:34,233
WHETHER THE CONDITION OF THE

40
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:36,133
WOMEN WARRANTS AT BORINGS.

41
00:01:32,833 --> 00:01:38,066
DOCTORS WANT TO KNOW WHETHER

42
00:01:34,233 --> 00:01:40,500
THEY WILL GET REIMBURSED.

43
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:44,500
RIGHT TO LIFE ILLINOIS SAYS THIS

44
00:01:38,066 --> 00:01:46,866
NEW BILL WOULD CREATE IN THEIR

45
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:48,333
MINDS AN OASIS WHERE

46
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,633
MIDWESTERNERS WOULD FLOOD TO

47
00:01:46,866 --> 00:01:50,966
ABORTION COVERAGE WHILE THE

48
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:52,866
PENDULUM IN THE OTHER STATES IS

49
00:01:49,633 --> 00:01:53,966
SWINGING THE OTHER WAY.

50
00:01:50,966 --> 00:01:55,833
>> THIS BILL WILL PROVIDE FREE

51
00:01:52,866 --> 00:01:57,233
ABORTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT

52
00:01:53,966 --> 00:01:59,033
EMPLOYEES AND FOR THOSE ON

53
00:01:55,833 --> 00:02:01,000
MEDICAID THROUGH OBVIOUSLY NINE

54
00:01:57,233 --> 00:02:01,900
MONTHS OF PREGNANCY EVEN IF THE

55
00:01:59,033 --> 00:02:03,666
UNBORN CHILD CAN SURVIVE OUTSIDE

56
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,766
THE WOMB.

57
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:06,566
IT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO HAVE

58
00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:07,766
ABORTIONS FOR ANY REASON.

59
00:02:04,766 --> 00:02:09,633
EVEN IF THAT REASON IS THE

60
00:02:06,566 --> 00:02:11,566
PREGNANCY THAT INCONVENIENCE,

61
00:02:07,766 --> 00:02:14,166
AND NOW PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I

62
00:02:09,633 --> 00:02:15,900
WOULD BE FORCED TO PAY FOR THAT

63
00:02:11,566 --> 00:02:18,166
THROUGH OUR TAX DOLLARS.

64
00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:20,033
>> SHE SAID THIS LAW WOULD APPLY

65
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,300
TO THE MEDICAID SYSTEM AND STATE

66
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:23,400
EMPLOYEES ON THE STATE HEALTH

67
00:02:20,033 --> 00:02:24,966
INSURANCE SYSTEM.

68
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:26,266
SARA FEIGENHOLTZ THE

69
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,900
REPRESENTATIVE BELIEVES THIS

70
00:02:24,966 --> 00:02:28,200
WOULD NOT ADD COST TO THE

71
00:02:26,266 --> 00:02:30,600
MEDICAID SYSTEM.

72
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:32,166
>> AS WE MENTIONED WHAT HAPPENS

73
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,466
IN ILLINOIS IF ABORTION RIGHTS

74
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,433
ARE RESTRICTED AT THE FEDERAL

75
00:02:32,166 --> 00:02:35,700
LEVEL?

76
00:02:32,466 --> 00:02:37,300
>> THIS IS THE OTHER BILL THAT

77
00:02:33,433 --> 00:02:37,633
IS FLOATING AROUND NOW THAT THE

78
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:39,366
SPONSOR SAYS COULD GET CALLED IN

79
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:40,933
JANUARY.

80
00:02:37,633 --> 00:02:43,366
IT DEALS WITH THAT.

81
00:02:39,366 --> 00:02:45,766
ACCORDING TO THE SPONSOR IT

82
00:02:40,933 --> 00:02:47,566
WOULD ABOLISH QUOTE TRIGGER

83
00:02:43,366 --> 00:02:49,633
LANGUAGE THAT MEANS IS IF ROE V.

84
00:02:45,766 --> 00:02:51,566
WADE IS OVERTURNED AND REMANDED

85
00:02:47,566 --> 00:02:53,000
TO THE STATES TO FIGURE OUT BY

86
00:02:49,633 --> 00:02:53,400
ILLINOIS LAW ABORTION AND BIRTH

87
00:02:51,566 --> 00:02:55,566
CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME

88
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,366
ILLEGAL.

89
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:02,566
WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS REPEAL

90
00:02:55,566 --> 00:03:04,100
THAT TRIGGER LANGUAGE AND MAKE

91
00:02:57,366 --> 00:03:06,666
SURE ABORTIONS STAY LEGAL IF ROE

92
00:03:02,566 --> 00:03:08,200
V. WADE DOES OVERTURN IT AND

93
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:10,233
SEND IT BACK TO THE STATES.

94
00:03:06,666 --> 00:03:11,233
>> IN ROE VS. WADE IS OVERTURNED

95
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,866
ON THE SUPREME COURT IT WILL BE

96
00:03:10,233 --> 00:03:15,333
CRIMINALIZED IN ILLINOIS.

97
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:17,233
IT WILL BE ILLEGAL IMMEDIATELY

98
00:03:12,866 --> 00:03:17,566
TO HAVE ABORTIONS.

99
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:19,233
ABORTION SERVICES IN ILLINOIS

100
00:03:17,233 --> 00:03:20,700
PERIOD.

101
00:03:17,566 --> 00:03:22,400
SO WE REALLY WANT TO JUST GET

102
00:03:19,233 --> 00:03:24,866
THAT OUT OF THE STATUTE.

103
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:27,800
IT MEANS THAT THE STATE OF

104
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:30,166
ILLINOIS AND THE ILLINOIS

105
00:03:24,866 --> 00:03:32,833
LEGISLATURE HAS MADE A STATEMENT

106
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,733
PRO-ACTIVELY THAT WE ARE A SAFE

107
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:34,900
STATE FOR A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO

108
00:03:32,833 --> 00:03:36,333
CHOOSE.

109
00:03:33,733 --> 00:03:37,433
>> CONVENTIONAL WISDOM SAYS IT

110
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:39,966
MIGHT BE UNLIKELY THAT THE

111
00:03:36,333 --> 00:03:42,833
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED

112
00:03:37,433 --> 00:03:44,900
STATES REVERSES A LAW DECIDED

113
00:03:39,966 --> 00:03:46,766
FOUR DECADES AGO BUT AN EXPERT

114
00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:48,633
AT KENT COLLEGE OF LAW SHARP

115
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:51,466
SHARP WHO YOU WILL HEAR IN A BIT

116
00:03:46,766 --> 00:03:54,666
SAYS IF THE MORE LIBERAL

117
00:03:48,633 --> 00:03:56,166
JUSTICES LIKE BRIAR AND GINSBURG

118
00:03:51,466 --> 00:03:57,466
WERE TO LEAVE AND BE REPLACED BY

119
00:03:54,666 --> 00:04:00,166
HARDLINED CONSERVATIVES SHE SAYS

120
00:03:56,166 --> 00:04:02,366
ALL BETS ARE OFF.

121
00:03:57,466 --> 00:04:06,400
AND THE MORE LIKELY AVERAGE NOW

122
00:04:00,166 --> 00:04:07,700
IS THAT THEY WOULD FIND CREATIVE

123
00:04:02,366 --> 00:04:09,866
WAYS TO PUT MORE RESTRICTIONS ON

124
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,633
ABORTION WITHOUT OUTLAWING

125
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:14,300
ABORTION OUT RIGHT.

126
00:04:09,866 --> 00:04:16,333
THIS DEBATE IS MUTE RIGHT NOW

127
00:04:11,633 --> 00:04:17,633
AND LAWMAKERS SHOULD FOCUS ON

128
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:19,533
THE BUDGET SITUATION.

129
00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:20,600
>> DOING ANYTHING NOW WHILE

130
00:04:17,633 --> 00:04:22,633
THERE'S STILL A LARGE

131
00:04:19,533 --> 00:04:23,866
HYPOTHETICAL WITH THE TRIGGER

132
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,866
LAWS IS A WASTE OF TIME AND

133
00:04:22,633 --> 00:04:28,033
RESOURCES.

134
00:04:23,866 --> 00:04:30,700
>> AND IN AN INTERESTING WRINKLE

135
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:32,466
GOVERNOR RAUNER AND HIS WIFE IN

136
00:04:28,033 --> 00:04:34,133
THE PAST SENT MONEY IN SUPPORT

OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BUT HE

138
00:04:32,466 --> 00:04:39,333
INSISTS HE DOES NOT HAVE A

139
00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:42,066
SOCIAL AGENDA AND WE DO NOT KNOW
