The Abortion rights landscape post the Dobbs decision, one year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, is discussed by Vice President Kamala Harris in this exclusive roundtable discussion, "One Year Post-Roe: A ReidOut Special with VP Harris,” featuring Joy Reid and people impacted by Dobbs.

"This issue is so fundamentally about freedom... The ability of an individual to make decisions about their own life and literally their own body…,” Vice President Harris tells Joy Reid. “A piece of this underlying it all is, hey--trust women." - Aired on 06/20/2023.

1. Love it. Republicans can be roasted like a Christmas pig if freedom is the issue.

Freedom defines America. Government protects us, but freedom is in our blood. Not the Republican freedom of dictating to others, moralizing, freedom for billionaires only. Freedom for us all. VP Harris is on track.

2. And they had an exceptional group there for the discussion

I was especially glad to see Amanda Zurawski, the young Texas woman who is among those suing the state after tests showed that her much-wanted pregnancy was in trouble, but nothing could be done for her until she went septic, spent time in ICU and nearly died.

6. She really is excellent and knows her stuff.

Not to mention, she has a sense of humor.

7. Maybe she could be the first VP who has more of public presence than

VP's in the past.

8. I think that the Obama/Biden administration set that precedent, they worked as a team

And Biden/Harris is following the same blueprint.
