Washington Post Live Interview with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand on 2020 Presidential Campaign and Key Issues

Published | Video Starts at 38:09

President Trump, when he was a candidate, he had a list of 20 justices that he knew would overturn Roe v. Wade. I think we should acknowledge that it is a basic human civil right. Second, I will codify Roe so it's not left up to the next president to try to take away women's constitutional human rights. Third, I will repeal the Hyde Amendment, which is the federal law that prohibits federal money from spending on reproductive care, including abortion services. That really harms low income women.
