The U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade now allows nearly half of all states to ban abortions.

It was the second bombshell decision - coming just one day after justices ruled Americans have the right to carry firearms in public for self-defense.

News 12's Rich Barrabi was joined by Brian Marks and Michael Dowling to discuss the decision.

Quite the operation they've got over there. Julio. Great. Look at what the post service service has to deal with. You know, what's the saying? Right? Neither rain nor sleet nor snow. That package are going to get it where it needs to go. We don't have any of that in the forecast, but for the mail carriers tomorrow and everybody else to bundle up, I guess. Yeah, the temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30 to start tomorrow and we are seeing some rain and maybe even some festive flakes in the near future. So that's something that we need prepare for as we get through the next couple of days. But 37 degrees mostly cloudy sky that puffer jacket will do you some good and some extra layers and you can grab the tins or the Uggs, some things, they just keep your feet warm because tomorrow's highs really struggle to get to the low forties. This is where we're going by tomorrow afternoon. 4 p.m. feeling like near 32 degrees across the boughs and it gets even colder, waking up on your morning. This is going to be the core of the cold we feel like temperatures will be in the mid twenties. So that's what you need to dress for Thursday morning. And even through the majority of the afternoon, we feel like temperatures will still be in the thirties. It looks like Friday. We have one more cold start to the day and then temperatures really begin to turn around. And we're seeing the fifties back by Friday and even into Saturday, which is going to be the pick of the week. Here's why temperatures will be in the mid fifties. It's gonna feel and look nice to be outside. And we're finally seeing a return of that sunshine that we haven't really been experiencing. So we're also turning the page to Sunday, which is our next day that we're tracking some wet weather. So here's what we know so far, still several days out, we're still fine tuning the timing of the system, but expect some widespread rain wind, some thunderstorms and this can start moving into our area Sunday evening into Monday.

And we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but it sounds like this weekend, at least Saturday would be a great day to do that. Yeah, definitely better than Sunday. Sunday. We got a lot of rain on Tampa. I'm liking Saturday out and, and take care of those errands. If you want to pick up that tree, it's gonna do. We're gonna be looking at numbers a lot better than what we're dealing with for today. 41 is the forecast at high. You get a lot of today. We're not gonna get out of the thirties very much feeling like winter, which is 15 more days away. We bring it in December 21st this year we work our way into the mid part of this month. And yeah, I know we're, we're, we're, we're gonna start to cruise these next couple of weeks, wrapping up 2023. It's just gonna go lightning speed as you push forward through the rest of this morning. Again, we're working with some cloud cover, chance for a few flakes late morning and then as we head into this afternoon, uh, still won't rule out a chance for flakes. If we're really watching back out across the lower Hudson Valley, some of them could seep into our neck of the woods, but still, we're not worried about any accumulation or anything like that. Just putting it out there. Keep that in mind as you are out about heading into tonight, we're gonna really look at the clear skies and we're gonna see colder numbers into your tomorrow. It, same set up to what we had last week. Right Wednesday night into your Thursday, we dealt with the coldest here. Thursday is gonna be the coldest day on tap. Numbers not making it out of the thirties, chance for a few more flakes. But again, nothing to worry about too, too much as we head into your Friday. Friday morning is gonna be a chilly start, but we bounce back as we head into your Friday afternoon again. Feel like numbers for Thursday tomorrow morning. We'll be in the teens for areas up north. We're talking twenties for areas south of 84. And then as we head into your tomorrow afternoon, we really aren't gonna feel anything better out of the twenties. So we definitely want to bundle up another shot of some cold air will work with us for your tomorrow. Make sure you got your winter gear prepared Saturday. Again, it's gonna be the pick of the week as we work our way into the first half of the week and we're staying dry. Maybe some sunshine. One thing's for sure, moderate temperatures well into the fifties. So it isn't gonna feel old, too bad. First half of your Sunday looks good. Then we're watching a storm really bringing in some heavy rain which will impact your Sunday afternoon into your Sunday evening. Where for right now, that's when we're looking forward to be its worst along with some strong gusty damaging winds, potentially Sunday night into your Monday as well. Other than that, we're still gonna hold on to mild weather into the first part of your week before we start to trend cooler heading into the tail end of next Becky John.

For you today. Matt Hammers tell us, but we'll see some festive flakes fly. Yeah. And there could be at any point in the day today. Really Tara and tomorrow, but nothing that's really gonna slow people down or add up. Exactly as we take a look outside right now, still dark and early until we get closer to seven o'clock this morning. And it's going to be overall an ok day. You know, there will be a few flurries around at times. Otherwise it's certainly chilly. The morning temperatures are actually, you'd expect for this time of day, this time of the year, the mid thirties for the most part, 37 in Yonkers, right around 30 in Yorktown Heights. It's a little bit colder just below 30 in New City in 27 in Middletown right now. Live Doppler radar at the moment. Quiet overhead, top left of the screen. Those are some snow showers and flurries. Now, a lot of that activity stays to our west and northwest today, but a few of these flurries will survive the trip into the Hudson, especially late morning into the early part of the afternoon. So just don't be surprised to see a little bit of that. But yeah, it's not going to add up to really anything on the ground at all. As we go throughout midday, temperatures will be above freezing, mostly cloudy skies. Again, a few spotty flurries at times as we go throughout the afternoon. More of the same, it's chilly, a light spotty snow shower at times. Temperatures in the upper thirties as that is happening and even visibility won't be reduced too much, partly cloudy skies this evening. And overnight tonight, it will be colder tonight and early tomorrow morning than it is outside right now with morning temperatures all throughout the Hudson Valley in the twenties. But tomorrow, especially after eight or nine o'clock in the morning and through the early part of the afternoon, we actually have an even better chance to see a light passing snow shower. So highs today, right around 40 it's chilly, bundled up through the morning and into the afternoon. A couple of flurries around nothing significant, partly cloudy cold later on tonight with lows in the twenties into Thursday morning, another day tomorrow where it's chilly and we can have a couple of scattered flurries, sun and clouds on Friday, upper forties, mid FF on Saturday. That is still the pick of the week. Sunday. We are looking at some warm weather but it turns wet and windy, especially for Sunday evening and Sunday night before dry weather returns for really all of next week. Sun and clouds breezy and cool on Monday turning chillier through the rest of next week.

Three pints should do the job. And maybe next year there'll be a Christmas miracle. Christmas tree industry is pretty well known for feast and famine in terms of supply and demand. So I think things will get better. If you don't feel like cutting your own, you can always buy a pre cut tree. Prices are up, but balsams will run you less than a fur at a big box store. And of course, you can always buy an artificial one and use it year after year happy holidays. Everyone. I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal. I saw a video on Instagram the other day, Sebastian Maniscalco asking what are they charging for Christmas trees by you? It's everywhere, it's going up and you know, depending on what type of tree you want. If you want the larger tree, those Frasier 1st 10 ft and higher. Yeah, those are the difficult ones to get this year. But uh you know, hey, whatever you do, no matter what the tree decorate it with the family. Have fun doing it. Enjoy the holiday season. Mostly cloudy skies today. There will be the threat of a passing rain or snow shower this afternoon and that's more of a nuisance. Most of our day will be dry and it will be cold temperature around 41 degrees for that hyper local high. And here's the other issue that northerly wind. Yeah, that's gonna make, it feels like temperatures, well, generally in the twenties and thirties. So that's what you need to dress for going throughout the day. Plus with all the clouds around and a little bit of moisture, it has a chill to the air, some snow showers and flurry north and west. And every now and then this afternoon, there may be one or two quick little rain, snow showers or flurry or Sprinkle moving on over Long Island. Take a look at this at around +343 45 there's a cold air temperatures around 38 to 39 degrees and there's that little stray flurry, snow shower, Sprinkle rain shower coming our way. Much more of a nuisance. A festive flake or two coming on through and that threat is with us through about 8 p.m. Then overnight skies clear tomorrow morning, lows are in the twenties to around 30. It's cold Thursday morning and then during the day on Thursday can't rule out once again, a quick little snow shower or a rain shower into Thursday afternoon for the start of Hanukkah. As we go towards sundown on Thursday, it's going to be cold. Temperatures are going to be in the thirties and towards sunset, a slight chance of a quick rain or snow shower and then we're dry overnight, Thursday into Friday. And by Friday afternoon we finally warm up. Now over the weekend, this is going to impact some of your plans and also will impact some of those holiday decorations because there's a threat of heavy rain, Sunday, late afternoon, Sunday evening and early Monday morning. And as the cold front approaches Long Island strong winds, there's a potential of winds, 40 to 50 MPH coming our way late Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening. So we'll have to watch this very closely and the impacts on Long Island highs today and in the low forties, lots of clouds, it's cold chance of that passing rain or snow shower, twenties for tonight. And we do have a warm up after the cold starts of Hanukkah fifties. Friday, Saturday, stormy weather near 60 on Sunday. Oh.

Saying, wow. Can you believe it's been around 20 years? It's crazy. It's crazy. I remember when that movie came out. That's nuts. But hey, get in the spirit, right. Christmas is coming. Hanukkah is this week. Isn't that exciting too? So definitely a lot to celebrate in the next coming weeks and days. We have a couple of festive flurries to just kind of compliment that right? I call them rogue flurries kind of coming from wind up clouds. No accumulation expected here in New Jersey, but we are warming up toward the weekend into the fifties. We go Friday and Saturday, but come Sunday, we're, we'll be in the sixties, believe it not. But that comes with stormy weather, Sunday, stormy conditions. Although it's very early in the forecast stages, I want to be transparent with you and let you know that we're watching for some gusty conditions along with downpours and maybe a squall line with thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon and evening. The timing is uncertain. The specific location of these impacts are uncertain and it's something that we're going to work out with the next couple of days. But I think it's important to let you know now that something is coming so that you can plan for it rather than wait until we know every little detail 100%. So, let's talk about today's forecast. A couple of windswept flurries coming through, maybe a rogue Sprinkle or two down toward Monmouth Ocean, Middlesex counties today. That's this afternoon because the temperature is going to be warming up into the forties tonight. It clears out briefly 30 degrees by tomorrow morning, it's cold, but then the clouds come back tomorrow and we'll see some rogue flurries and sprinkles all along the Delaware River up and down the western half of the New Jersey. So just be aware of that for Thursday, temperatures will be in the low forties by the afternoon high, but that's just that moment about three in the afternoon and it then finally clears out into Friday. Friday is a beautiful day, 5051 degrees, uh, the northeast corner of Bergen County, Passaic counties as well as Hudson and Essex County. Definitely looking at temperatures near 45 to 46 degrees. Morristown. Same deal there. Not too bad as the mild weather settles in. We hold on to that mild weather into Saturday too. You can see it's fair thin clouds, high pressure, sunny and mild, but we're going to be watching for this front come Sunday, strong wind and thunderstorms with that front. It's definitely going to knock down temperatures for early next week but could be pretty nasty. On Sunday night.

The New Normal: The Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade now allows nearly half of all states to ban abortions

0627NewNormalRoeWade

Okay, Michael, I'm gonna start with you here because the minute roe versus wade, the decision came down, the question then became okay. What does this mean? State by state? So here in the tri state, what kind of services will still be available for women who are now wondering where does this leave me? Well, let me, first of all say, I think that, you know, the decision um doesn't end the debate about what needs to happen. I think in many ways the debate is just going to begin. But here in new york where there is a right to leave an abortion. And I know that the state has taken the precautions that that will continue to be the situation here in new york. So, I think in new york we will essentially be okay. Um the issue is for other, many other parts of the country and in those states where abortion will not be allowed. The question will be what happens where women in those circumstances, in those locations, when they want to make a decision. And it's a decision between a person and their health care providers. You could end up in many of those situations where you have disastrous outcomes. And I know this is a very, very controversial, controversial issue. But here in new york, I think that we will be okay, but it will not stop the debate and the protests that you saw over the weekend. I think those will continue and we hear it not well, we obviously want to continue to promote women's reproductive health and the right of women to make a choice and what with our healthcare providers to make the choice that is suitable for them. That will continue. I don't see that changing. Michael and I follow up with you right here. Because the second question I have is is there concern that health care providers may be overwhelmed now with an influx of patients coming from out of state trying to essentially find a location where they can be safeguarded legally. That will inevitably happen. Whether it assumes some of that will happen here in new york, but states um that are contiguous to states that outlaw abortion completely. Those clinics in those situations I believe will be overwhelmed over time. This will not prevent people getting abortions. People will travel to get abortions if they can. Unfortunately, there are people who will not be able to do so. And then we could have, you know, the back alley issues and severe health issues that have been that were very, very prominent prior to roe versus wade. So, yes, you were right. There will be an increase in um in volume. And some of the clinics in New york, we don't know how to what extent that will be will happen. But yes, there will be an increase Brian to Michael's point. And from a legal perspective, the Supreme Court's decision doesn't mean that abortion abortion is now illegal. It just essentially kicks the issue back to the states where 50 different states are creating 50 different thresholds for exactly what's legal and what isn't right. You're absolutely right. We're going to wind up with a checkerboard and I think Michael's spot on the debate. I won't say it's just beginning. It's been going on since roe versus wade. It's just the nature of what we're going to be debating now has changed. And we will be looking at all 50 states. The arguments will be occurring in those states. Let me also add there's a further complication. While Michael talks about things are okay in new york, we can say Connecticut and we can talk about the economic implications. But then another battleground will be the extra territorial reach of state laws such as let's say in texas and how the long arm of the law, if at all, can be reached into people in the state of Connecticut or new york. So things are going to become more complicated as far as how we navigate as well as how individual companies may respond to this ruling as well. We saw what happened with a number of companies noting that they wanted to support reproductive rights. But the question will be, will those laws put restrained or constrict or expose those companies to liability for assisting someone who may seek an abortion in another state brian. I want to get your reaction to a comment that we just received on facebook. It comes to us from Sean who wrote both were in violation of the constitution, second and 10th amendments respectively. Not sure what the problem is. The Supreme Court of the United States did their job. Your response to that? Well, I will say the Supreme Court always does its job. It's one of judicial philosophies and the impact of quite frankly the most recent decisions and the judicial philosophy that because it seems to be at the forefront here is what does it mean to be rooted in the nation's history and tradition. And and that is going to be a big debate. You know, this, these most recent decisions will not only be a full employment act for lawyers, but also for historians. We're going to have to rely on historians now to assist us in greater detail As far as the nuances of what was going on in the case of uh, the most recent gun decision, what really went on in 1848. Um, we're going to be 1868. Sorry. We're going to turn the clock back. What was going on in 1791. What's rooted in our history. Michael, you know, I want to go back to a point you made earlier, which is that um, you know, some women may be able to travel. Others may not, they just may not have the means may not have the ability to do so. How important is outreach going to be here? Even within states where reproductive rights remain protected. You have to make sure that people understand that those rights are protected because they may just see the headline and say, uh, this is not a legal option for me now, I'm gonna have to find a Plan B. And as we know, Plan B is incredibly dangerous. Yeah, this is gonna get unbelievably confusing because it's going to vary in so many different states across the country. So outreach will be important continue to educate people about what's available and what's not available will be very, very, very important. I think you're going to have a period of, of severe complexity here. Um, and for people that are in a, in a state that outlaws abortion makes it very, very difficult to get abortion where those people want to make a decision, a decision between them, their their God and a decision between them and their provider. Um, if they're not able to travel, they don't have the means. Then you're going to potentially have a situation where people go to very own safe places have severe health care disasters as a result, which we have seen before. So yes, outreach will be important. Education will be important. But I think, you know, you know, we'll see what evolves over the next a number of weeks and months. But it's also very, very interesting. I want to say one other point and maybe brian has a comment on this on the, on the one hand, on the, on the robust as well. The court basically said that the states make the decision then you command to the gun violence issue and they're saying, we we want to prevent some of the states from making decisions. So there's a contradiction between the issue on gun violence and the issue on reproductive, how the Supreme Court handled it. Right? So, brian, let's say democrats in Washington and control the House and the Senate, obviously, the presidency say we've got to codify abortion rights in federal law will blow through the filibuster in the Senate to do it. That's been the sticking point. It seems unlikely they could get the votes. But let's just say it happened. Speaking on a broad scale, would that be okay? According to what the Supreme Court has ruled here. Would then that be the law of the majority decision here? And they basically said, we've been inferring roe versus wade inferred a right to abortion. This current decision says we cannot do that anymore. That right is not an ordered liberty within the constitution itself. So, given the majority opinion, I don't necessarily find the approach inconsistent between what they did here in roh verse in the gun decision where there's an explicit right under the constitution, a right to bear arms. Now, do I necessarily agree with how the analysis went in each case? No, but we're going to see what unfolds. I mean, it's been reported, mike Pence has proposed, let's proceed to a federal ban. So this, Michael earlier was right. We're seeing what's ahead and we'll see lots of debate and challenges.
