So why aren't the networks covering the oral hearings at the Supreme Court

[malaise]

This issue affects the majority of the population - WOMEN.
That is all

[DURHAM D]

3. Why is it on MSNBC and Fox?

[USALiberal]

5. Not true! nt

[brooklynite]

12. Yes it is true...

...the audio is being released because the Courtroom is closed to an audience due to COVID. No Federal Court allows cameras.

[malaise]

14. The audio is on Cable and there is no good reason why it is not being covered

free to air on the networks

[USALiberal]

23. Audio is all you need! Nt

[malaise]

8. Oral arguments are being covered on Cable

Lame

[onenote]

15. Are they showing the argument or just carrying the audio?

[malaise]

16. There are no cameras in the court so it is audio only

This should be carried everywhere - it affects mostly poor women.

[Demsrule86]

20. Poor women have been unable to get legal abortions for quite some time as no government

money can be spent on it...many use abortion pills by mail, but here in Ohio if you do this and have a complication there are only two hospitals in Northern Ohio as Kasich and legislation made it against the law for any public hospital to treat women for complications stemming from an abortion. And of course, Catholic hospitals never provided such care.

[PatSeg]

25. That is insane

to make it against the law to treat women for complications from an abortion. I wonder if that law has been challenged, as it certainly doesn't sound constitutional to me.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. I am not aware of any outlet with video taken inside the SC. Just audio.

See brooklynite's remarks.

I'm pretty sure that the closest version of "video of the Supreme Court" you'll see all day will be taken by the camera operators standing on the sidewalk on the east side of First Street NE shooting video of the networks' talking heads.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

10. Yes sir. Most backward policy in the modern legal world. Opposing video coverage is indefensible.

[Claustrum]

2. Not disagreeing with you but it definitely affects men too.

In a lot of abortion cases, the man is involved too.

[malaise]

9. Of course but we get pregnant

Men don't have abortions

[MichMan]

4. They are

I've been watching all morning

[malaise]

7. It's not on CBS, ABC or NBC - it is on cable n/t

[onenote]

11. I stand corrected

[malaise]

13. Cool n/t

[haele]

18. NPR is carrying it over public radio

Was listening to it after dropping the girls off to school this morning.

19. Thaat's very good news

[leftstreet]

21. Because no one really cares

That may be harsh, but the current state of restricted abortion rights - from definitions and procedures to limited access by state and county - has happened in the open and through the courts.

No matter how much grassroots activists push for awareness, the average person seems to think that if "they" need access to abortion, it will surely be there for "them."

[malaise]

22. That alone is why they should carry it

They might learn some frightening truths about what these lunatics are trying to do
