>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> AS THE NATION AND WISCONSIN
MARKED THE 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
OF THE ROE V. WADE DECISION THIS
WEEK, WE TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
HEAR FROM YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS
STATE AS DOBBS V. JACKSON HAS
NOW REVERTED ABORTION LAW TO THE
STATES.
WHEN ASKED WHAT ISSUES ARE MOST
IMPORTANT TO THEM, MANY YOUNG
VOTERS SAID ABORTION RIGHTS.
>> I THINK WOMEN, A WOMAN'S
RIGHT TO CHOOSE, IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
>> BY OVERTURNING ROE, AFFLUENT
WOMEN WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GET
ABORTIONS.
THEY'LL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GET
SAFE ABORTIONS.
BUT WOMEN IN UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES, WOMEN OF COLOR,
WOMEN WHO LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY
LINE OR JUST AT THE POVERTY
LINE, THEIR LIVES WILL BE PUT IN
DANGER BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE
ABLE TO GET SAFE ABORTIONS.
>> IT TOOK AWAY OUR ABILITY TO
HAVE THE SAY WHETHER WE WANT TO
BE A PARENT OR NOT.
>> IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE GUNS
HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN WOMEN.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE
AS A YOUNG GIRL WHO STILL HAS
LIKE THE REST OF HER LIFE AHEAD
OF HER, KNOWING THAT A CHOICE
LIKE THAT HAS KIND OF BEEN
STRIPPED AWAY, IT'S SCARY.
LIKE KNOWING THAT IF I COULDN'T
AFFORD IT OR IF IT WAS LIKE IF I
GOT SEXUALLY ASSAULTED OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LIKE I
WOULD STILL HAVE TO CARRY THE
BABY.
AND EVEN IF I COULD DIE IN THE
PROCESS, OR IF I KNEW THE BABY
WOULDN'T MAKE IT, I WOULD STILL
HAVE TO HAVE IT.
>> I THINK IT WILL CAUSE A LOT
