00:00I'm madder than hell because an extremist United States Supreme Court, five people,
00:08think that they can dictate to tens of millions of women across this country the decisions
00:17that are our decisions about our lives.
00:21They think that they are wrong.
00:30I have seen the world where abortion is illegal, and we are not going back.
00:47Not ever.
00:48So say it with me, we are not going back.
00:56Not ever.
00:57Not ever.
00:58Not ever.
00:59Not ever.
01:00Not ever.
01:01Not ever.
01:02Never.
01:03This is what the Republicans have been working toward this day for decades.
01:14They have been out there plotting, carefully cultivating these Supreme Court justices
01:20so they could have a majority on the bench who would accomplish something that the majority
01:26of Americans do not want.
01:28Sixty-nine percent of people across this country, across this country, red states and blue states,
01:35old people and young people, want Roe v. Wade to maintain the escalation of slavery.
01:38We don't want to dismember children in the womb, ma'am.
01:41No, we are not going to stand.
01:45I am angry because of who will pay the price for this.
01:50It will not be wealthy women.
01:53Wealthy women can get on an airplane.
01:56They can fly to another state.
01:58They can fly to another country.
02:01They can get the protection they need.
02:04This will fall on the poorest women in our country.
02:09This will fall on the young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest.
02:16This will fall on those who have been raped.
02:20This will fall on mothers who are already struggling to work three jobs to be able to support the children they have.
02:30Well, I am here because I am angry.
02:33And I am here because the United States Congress can change all of this.
02:41I'm here today because I am angry about what's happened.
02:47But I'm here today because I am determined that we will not let this opinion stand.
