But I think the national conversation we have to have is this right to privacy. We will go state by state to guarantee reproductive freedom. Whether we win or not in the Supreme Court doesn't mean that's our last effort. So I think the Biden administration is correct in actually fighting this in the Supreme Court. And we have a court system and an appeals system for a reason. GILLIBRAND: It's hard to ignore the rule of law. And, after the ruling, you tweeted: "We will not allow this attack on our reproductive freedom to stand." Beyond fighting it in court, what else should Democrats do? I mean, there are some Democrats, as you know, I believe, including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from your home state in New York, who say the FDA should just simply ignore the ruling.

And we have had many ballot initiatives, even in red places like Kansas and Montana, where we have been successful. We will also continue to fight state by state to codify Roe in state law. We will continue to appeal this kind of decision. And so we will fight in every respect we can.

So to take away the right to have medicine is an extension of taking away this right to privacy. And what we are seeing in these Republican legislatures, as well as these very conservative courts, is a continuation of that assault. But what we do know is, since the Dobbs decision, this court has had an all-out assault on women's reproductive freedom, starting with that decision that takes away the right to privacy.
