, the texas house. the other woman, miss white, is running for a seat in that same legislative body. i think it goes to the same point we're talking about before, here is one person is saying, using her expenses with abortion to say something negative and disparaging about women who make this decision. and then there is representative dawnna dukes who will stand up and say, but not me. i admire her courage and i think it is great. at the same time, i wish women could have the complete privacy that they deserve for this health care. >> lindsay rodriguez, can you talk about how people are fighting back right now, what are the prospects for this egislation to continue? >> i can definitely say since we have seen the showdown in the capital last summer, i've seen more activism and organization than i have ever seen in my history here in texas. ,rganizations working together formed a lot of coalitions to share information, share stories, share resources. the unfortunate thing is, whoever gets put into office

[cheers and applause] >> we're trying to turn texas around. >> jon: i was under the impression democrats didn't -- [laughing] >> jon: i won't say anything, i am pretty sure a bull just died. so, how many, i know the democrats talking about money out of politics, money oust politics. they seem to be so focused on getting money they don't have money to get it out of politics. citizens united and the supreme court decision money has become a bigger part of politics. there is a big debate about how much do you rely on super packs. do you take unlimited contributions or not. you're right. it's a competition of large super packs. >> jon: how much in your day is spent on the pursuit of cash on atypical day. >> it depends if it's a competitive district. my district is democratic so -- so i, but if they're in competitive districts. some friends in competitive districts they're on the phone it seems like all day. if we're not on core voting or committee they're on the phone. >> jon: has campaig

(laughter) shoot! i reckon that's what's happening. (laughter) hey! mrs. johnson, do i smell pie? is that your rhubarb pie? i sure would like a slice! while we're all still free!

the answer lies in texas, with texas solutions, with texas -- force the texas problems. >> we're coming up on q & but i want to talk about in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants, the texas dream act. we have had candidates -- democratic candidates we supported, we can't could teen this in place. the bill first passed in 2001, but attorney general greg abbott said change some things, snore pba patrick opposes the law and says he would move to repeal it. if we see a repeal, could this be devastating for the republican party as outreach to hispanic voter are? >> i don't think you'll see a repeal. i think you'll see more in line of what general abbott said. if there's corrections to be made because the body -- the house and the senate, which are going to be very different this cycle -- decide to do something and compromise is reached, it will be an amended situation. i don't think you'll see got away. >> what about you? on the ground what are you hearing from people on this specific issue? >> obviously on the ground you hear individuals that have utilized it and -- but i'm with aaron.

of people and i either have texas at my disposal or mexico because i'm on the border. there's nothing closer or in between. >> it's just a half hour's drive for mellisa to get to mexico, where she bought the misoprostol. we wanted to see what her journey looked like, so we headed there with a local health activist. >> how far is the border from here? >> it is probably around 15-20 minutes away. >> that's it? >> yeah. >> that's really close. >> are there several groups you work with down here? >> no, i think people do things individually but there is no organized movement. >> that must make it really hard? >> yeah, because you want to do stuff like last year there was a lot of momentum and it kind of just dies off until the next you know horrible thing happens. >> within 20 minutes we'd crossed into arrived in nuevo progreso, a small border town. >> this entire street is full of pharmacies. >> this is the big business here. this is why a lot of people come here? to buy cheap drugs? >> it was really easy to get it, misoprostol, it was just 31 dollars. >> hi do you have m

texas was all in. if there was evidence -- and here is a state, one of the most populous with a large minority population, a large immigrant population and a restrictive voter id law. a state in which the attorney general two hours after the shelby county decision tweeted his decision to reimpose the voter id law that was struck down under section five of the act a year before. they were passionately engaged in upholding the voter id law in this case. yet, they were only able to produce two instances of in person voter fraud? what about all of the states just mentioned where there is not voter id? where are these rampant examples of voter fraud in person? that would justify the distant franchise but of hundreds of thousands of voters. the question you have to ask yourself is what is the motivation of this? where does it come from? in the texas case, the federal judge issued a finding that is a very rare finding and that sets that case apart from every other case. she found the state of texas intentiona

major breaking news from texas. the cdc just minutes ago announced that a second health care worker at texas presbyterian hospital in dallas has tested positive for ebola. it has now been isolated. the cdc calling the diagnosis of a second ebola infected health care worker, quote, a serious concern. n now, this was another health care worker who provided care for the first ebola patient diagnosed in the united states. the health care worker reported a fever tuesday and was immediately hospitalized at the hospital. and now again, these are two people who have treated thomas eric duncan. two people who now have ebola, raising serious, serious questions about the protocols in place at texas health presbyterian. >> 20 minutes past the hour. >>> another big story we're following, oscar pistorius back in court for a third day of his sentencing. prosecutors have claimed the athlete offered a large sum of cash to reeva steenkamp's family after he kid her but it was considered, quote, blood money. diana magnate is live from

required by the new texas law. and because the supreme court has said that the election can proceed, even though a federal court has found that that photo i.d. law discriminates against black and latino voters. >> yes, the judge in texas ruled that it was unconstitutional. and yet last saturday the supreme court said, "let the election go forward." what was their rationale? >> i think the rationale, the most charitable rationale we can give to the supreme court's decision is that it's consistent with other decisions they've made in which, essentially, their view is if it's very close to the election -- and certainly this was close to the election -- early voting started this week. -- that they shouldn't disturb the status quo, that you don't change the processes of election so close to an actual election, and -- >> and what's your objection to that? >> we have a federal judge who found that this photo i.d. law was created to intentionally discriminate against black and latino voters, in violation of the united stat

as well as all the appropriate texas state health officials. we're working closely with the local, both city and county health officials, and it's a very serious case as we partner. as you know, a patient was admitted to this hospital on september 28th. subsequently tested positive for ebola. today we learn that some school-age children have been identified as having some contact with the patient, and now are being monitored at home for answer sign of the disease. i know parents are extremely concerned about that development. let me assure these children have been identified, and they are being monitored, and the disease cannot be transmitted before having any symptoms. i have full confidence in the medical professionals and superintendent miles and our local and state and federal partners in keeping this conta contained. this is a disease that is not airborne and is substantially more difficult to contract than the common cold. we have experts here with us today along with officials from the state and federal government have been working toget

to our texas schools. houston, and the rio grande area in el paso. do that because we understand the power of education. who go to that people college are most likely 80% more give into taxes. are -- theeople who majority of the immigrants, their average income is $36,000. you don't give them the opportunity to pay in state, usually that's about $20,000 a have tot they would stay. nobody, no family could be able to afford that. so i think that the arguments the education part are there. i don't really think that anybody that loves their where they live, their community, would be against anybody that has the heart and desire to either serve in the military or go into anlege and receive education, that they can be against somebody wanting to fulfill that dream. >> commissioner, the 2014 republican party of texas calls for the repeal of the texas d.r.e.a.m. act. do you support that, or are you that?t >> i think the texas d.r.e.a.m. act is a symbol. thisnot substantive in debate. here's the problem with the ac

the idea of closing 80% of the clinics in texas is to make it impossible for most texas women to even try to have an abortion. unless they have enough money and resources to basically escape the state. the court ruling that let the texas law go into effect happened an thursday afternoon and went into effect that night. overnight 13 clinics, including this one in mcallen, texas, were forced to stop providing abortion services immediately. amy hagstrom miller who owns the clinic tells us dozens of women came to the clinic on friday the day after the ruling but had to be told they could not get the care they were looking for that day. and there's really nowhere else for them to go. not for hundreds of miles. since the texas law was first passed against wendy davis' marathon filibuster effort against it, that texas law has been expected to end up before the united states supreme court. today the center for reproductive rights took steps to try to make that happen. a filed an emergency petition asking the supreme court take immediate action to put that texas law on hold. essentially to reo

welcome to the state fair of texas. this year he's also the bearer of an important health warning. >> remember, always wash your hands before eating. >> thanks, tex. >> also a helpful reminder. but dallas has the special circumstance right now of being home to the first diagnosed case of ebola in the united states. and i have to be said that is not always bringing out the best in people around the country. one texas congressman who has voted more than 30 times to repeal obamacare now says we need to start using obamacare to fight ebola. remember that whole time when there was a big right wing freak out after president obama was elected about czars. the right decided it was a huge scandal for the president to appoint anyone to be the czar of anything. now the georgia republican congressman who introduced the anti-czar bill in 2009 now says, you know, we really ought to pick a czar to fight ebola. two other co-sponsors of the no more czars bill today also called for a czar to fight ebola. even though again, they don't bel

the center is representing the texa those in the texas law. welcome to all of you. horace, let me start with you. what does it tell you that appellate courts have looked at different ways of the same set of issues? are we far from being of one mind of how to proceed? >> i guess it tell us that we're far from an unified position. but we do know what the ultimate outcome is because the court has already looked at this in 2008, and has answered that question. and the real question is what new statutes or old statutes will people identify as their way of getting around that indiana ruling by the supreme court. that was 6-3, by the way. >> wendy wiser, does the ruler give anyone who is on your side of the question a tougher road forward? >> actually the indiana ruling was a very narrow ruling, and doesn't apply to this new species of idea ideologue in texas and wisconsin that we're talking about today. these laws are being challenged under a variety of provisions including that they're discriminatory on the basis of race. that's what we found in texas. the court held tha

that's what happened in dallas, texas. so dallas, this week, a city of 7 million people, the city of dallas, basically the country, is in hysteria. they're contacting anybody who might have been in contact to make sure that he doesn't infect anybody else. they did the same thing in july in the huge 21 million strong in the capital city of nigeria. again, just like dallas, just like the united states, they had no ebola epidemic in that country. it was just the one guy who flew in, but there he was, sick. in a city with 21 million people and they needed to make sure it did not spread. and in nigeria, they won. they were successful. they had a small outbreak, but they contained it. there's no epidemic there like there is on those other countries on the list. that's because nigeria had a really excellent response. they traced everybody that this passenger had contact with and everybody who had contact with those people. an emergency epidemic command center that had been financed in part by the bill and melinda gates foundation

next to the anti-abortion legislation and signed by the republican texas governor, the 73,000 texas women who used to get abortions every year in that state now have roughly 80% fewer choice of where they can get that service. no clinics west or south of san anyone tone owe. nowhere in the whole, huge rio grande valley. if the same number of women want to get abortions, which, after all, is their legal right to do so. the last few remaining clinics in the state would have to stay open 365 days a year doing more than 25 abortions a day seven days a week in order to keep up with the demand. of course there won't be that kind of demand, though, right? not if the nearest legal clinic is 300 miles away. >> overnight, 13 clinics were forced to stop providing abortion services immediately. the owner tells us now that dozens of women came to the clinic on friday, the day after the ruling. but they had to be told that they could not get the care that they were looking for that day. and there's really nowhere else to go. since the law has passed, that texas law has been expected to end up before th

law that texas imposed. we filed suit and challenged this under section 5 of the voting rights act in 2012 and we won. a federal court then found it was the most restrictive voter i.d. law in the country. it was only the supreme court's decision in the shelby county voting rights case in 2013, which essentially removed the power of section 5, that allowed texas to reimpose the same law that had already been found to violate the voting rights act. we have to file suit again. what's remarkable about this case, joy, that i think the listeners need to understand, is that when justice ginsburg surmises that hundreds of thousands of voters will be disenfranchised by a law that is discriminatory, she is not guessing. a federal judge two weeks ago found that this law, this voter i.d. law discriminates against african-americans and latino voters and moreover, she found that the law intentionally discriminates against african-american and latino voters. that means today, when early voting begins in texas, there are hu
