Three years after the US Supreme Court removed the federal right to abortion, Planned Parenthood President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson returns to Rapid Response to talk about why she's now turned to the same Court to protect her organization from an attack by South Carolina's governor.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments today in a big case about healthcare access and Planned Parenthood. The years-long court fight centers on South Carolina's bid to push the reproductive care provider off the state's Medicaid program. The actual question in front of the justices is a technical one, but a decision in South Carolina's favor could prompt a wave of states to strip Medicaid funding away from Planned Parenthood. Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood's president, explains what's at stake in the case.And in headlines: Attorney General Pam Bondi said she would seek the death penalty for the man charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare's CEO, the Trump administration admitted it made an ‘administrative error' in deporting a Maryland father with protected legal status to El Salvador, and mass layoffs began at the Department of Health and Human Services.Show Notes:Learn more about Planned Parenthood –www.plannedparenthood.org/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

If Vice-President Kamala Harris wins in November, it will likely be on the strength of the pro-choice vote, which has been turning out strongly in recent elections. Her statements and choices on the campaign trail couldn't stand in starker relief against those of Donald Trump and his running mate, J. D. Vance, who recently called for defunding Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, Harris “is the first sitting Vice-President or President to come to a Planned Parenthood health center, to come to an abortion clinic, and really understand the conversations that have been happening on the ground,” Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood's president and C.E.O., told David Remnick. The organization is spending upward of $40 million in this election to try to secure abortion rights in Congress and in the White House. A second Trump term, she speculates, could bring a ban on mifepristone and a “pregnancy czar” overseeing women in a federal Department of Life. “Is that scary enough for you?” Johnson asks.

With the 2024 election on the horizon, Morgan DeBaun is sitting down with Alexis McGill Johnson, the current President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, for an eye-opening conversation about the fight for reproductive rights and freedom.  Through the episode, Alexis shares insights into the strategic erosion of women's rights by the government, and she reveals the harsh reality facing doctors and patients since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. Alexis also explains how countries can slide into authoritarianism, and how the current political landscape in the United States mirrors those trends. But it's not all about the grim potential for the future of the United States, as Morgan and Alexis discuss how individuals and social impact businesses can be a part of the change. They explore the responsibilities and challenges of small businesses when it comes to navigating healthcare policies, especially in light of restrictive and draconian rules. Alexis also shares the power of storytelling to foster empathy and gain support in the fight to protect reproductive rights. While this episode is far from light-hearted, it's an important one!

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut sounding the alarm about the Supreme Court being poised to overturn Roe v. Wade according to a leaked draft opinion published by Politico. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito authored the draft of this ruling, which rests on the argument that, "The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected" -- taking us back to the time of the Founding Fathers, when women were considered barely more than the property of their fathers and husbands. Rep. Barbara Lee, Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and more expert guests join Joy on what is next in the fight to preserve abortion access. We also take you live to Vice President Kamala Harris giving a speech at a gala hosted by the pro-choice group Emily's List, where she calls on abortion rights supporters to join this battle. Plus, the polls have closed in Ohio. Steve Kornacki, MSNBC national political correspondent, joins us with an analysis of critical primaries there. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
