CNN’s Kate Bolduan acknowledged Friday’s existence of the March for Life, which is something that’s rare in media. Here’s What We DoBolduan, however, used this opportunity to remind people that they have never had a greater right to abortion.
Bolduan started the segment with all types of left-wing framing.
At this hour protesters are gathering in Washington for a large anti-abortion demonstration. It’s a march held annually since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision: Roe v. Wade. But this year organizers are expecting the rally to be a historic one since the right to an abortion is more in peril than ever before. The Supreme Court considering more than one case this term that could effectively ban a women’s, women’s access to safe and legal abortions.
After introducing correspondent Joe Johns, who was covering the march in Washington, Bolduan continued to cover the pro-life rally with pro-abortion terms, “Joe, there’s no mistaking this is a pivotal moment for a woman’s right to choose.”
Johns agreed, saying, “That’s absolutely right” and proceeded to discuss how those at the March for Life hope that next year’s rally will be different as the Supreme Court is currently hearing multiple abortion-related cases that may overturn or curtail Roe v. Wade.
He went on to warn against such a move, “That flies in the face, of course, of what we see in the polling, a poll last year by CNN, late last year, indicated more than 2 to 1 of Americans polled said they don’t want to see Roe v. Wade overturned.”
The media continue to quote polls claiming Americans support them, yet again. RoeIt is important to mention that the majority of voters are in favor of restrictions on abortion. Roe This does not happen.

KATE BOLDUAN: At this hour protesters are gathering in Washington for a large anti-abortion demonstration. It’s a march held annually since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision: Roe v. Wade. But this year organizers are expecting the rally to be a historic one since the right to an abortion is more in peril than ever before. The Supreme Court considering more than one case this term that could effectively ban a women’s, women’s access to safe and legal abortions. Tomorrow is the 49th anniversary of Roe. Let’s get over to CNN’s Joe Johns, he’s live in Washington with more on this. Joe, there’s no mistaking this is a pivotal moment for a woman’s right to choose.
JOE JOHNS: That’s absolutely right. And just to sort of underscore what you said a minute ago, it’s been since 1974 they’ve been holding this march, and as always, huge numbers of people streaming in from every direction, this has always been a crowd that contains a lot of Catholic high school students, but many adults as well. I talked to a guy from Detroit who flew in a couple days ago. An expectation here as you said that things are going to be very different, perhaps this time next year, simply because of the 6-to-3 conservative majority in the United States Supreme Court as well as the cases that are before the Court including the Texas case, the Mississippi case, and this expectation that the Supreme Court will do something dramatic to change the standard of Roe v. Wade. That flies in the face, of course, of what we see in the polling, poll last year by CNN, late last year, indicated more than 2 to 1 of Americans polled said they don’t want to see Roe v. Wade overturned. So, for this crowd that continues to protest, regardless of what the Court does, in all likelihood there will still be a lot more for them to do, quite frankly, because as so many people know, the fight over abortion is not just at the Supreme Court, it’s very much state to state. Kate, we are back at you.
BOLDUAN, Joe, thanks for your kind words. Appreciate it.
