Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is backing what he says is a first-in-the-nation bill to outlaw sharing or selling license plate data for women seeking abortions. He fears this data could be weaponized as some states try to criminalize helping someone get an abortion. NBC News’ Anne Thompson explains more.

  1. Are you in public?
    Yes:can be filmed
    No:cannot be filmed
    Its that easy folks. Any other way is just corruption of law enforcement.

  2. So how many days away are we from Gilead?

  3. Abortion is nothing short of cold blooded murder. Anyone who aborts a baby will answer for it before God on judgement day

  4. Science makes it very clear that preborn children are human beings. It’s a scientific fact that life begins at fertilization, with the baby having his or her own unique, individual DNA strand, entirely separate from their mother. Within the first trimester alone, the baby has a beating heart, measurable brain waves, unique fingerprints, and the ability to respond to touch.

  5. Hey! It's 2023…. Keep your damned theology out of my anatomy!!!! FULL STOP!!!!!

  6. Abortion is every woman's choice across the majority of the world.

    Republicans are like Taliban men dictating what subjugated women should do. Land of freedom?

    The US constitution has been amended 27 times and is the reason they are called amendments.

    "Keep the government out of our lady bits." N.Duz

  7. Democrats for abortions

  8. Republicans taking freedoms away democrats blue wave coming ur way gop sucks no more garbage Republicans

  9. I don't believe that anti-freedom (anti-abortion) person. Since Roe v Wade those against free choice have resorted to deception, half truths, lies, intimidation, threats, vandalism, terrorism and murder. While the they claim they oppose those tactics they quietly supported those that do. Abortion should be save and legal for anyone that want to terminate a pregnancy. No one else has the right to impose their will on others. It is immoral and wrong.

  10. lol NBC just now realized the federal government is watching us…

  11. CONservatives commies have gone full China

  12. *"IF MEN COULD GET PREGNANT ABORTION

    WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 2nd AMENDMENT"*

  13. *"IF MEN COULD GET PREGNANT ABORTION
    WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 2nd AMENDMENT"*
    Peter 4 20

  14. I don't have a dumbphone, a can you hear me now personal tracking device. FLY TO HAWAII for a legal abortion, rent a car.

  15. if you wonder that America is turning Fascist = here is a video to prove it ~ Government controls you, your body, and mind.

  16. America is becoming a police state. We are being watched, tracked, and harrassed. The government is becoming to strong, the people need to rise up and take back control and guarentee Freedom.

  17. There is no hate like Theocratic love.

  18. This would make Governments BIGGER.

  19. Don't worry ladies the GOP will give you all the RIGHTS you need. This would make Government BIGGER.
