Senator Dick Durbin on Afghanistan, Abortion, And COVID-19
US Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL)
It’s been a little more than a week since the last U-S Air Force C-17 took off from the airport in Kabul, ending this phase of America’s decades-long involvement with Afghanistan. We were joined by U.S. Senator Dick Durbin to talk about the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan, as well as the new anti-abortion law in Texas, the COVID-19 surge around the country, and more.

Gov. Greg Abbott defended Texas' law that bans abortions after about 6 weeks and does not provide exceptions for rape or incest — saying the state would strive to "eliminate all rapists from the streets."https://t.co/HQKGF787ns
