It's a disgrace on the Supreme Court itself. Trump may not like talking about his crusade against women's reproductive rights, but he cannot hide from the pain he's inflicted on women. Across America, 20 states have enacted total or near total abortion bans, which means that nearly 40% of women of reproductive age live in a state with an abortion ban. The human cost of the Republican assault on women's reproductive freedom is sickening. I've heard so many women share their stories of the horrors they have experienced. (00:52–01:04)
