Abortion rights supporters try to disrupt an anti-abortion march to the Texas Capitol during a Texas Rally for Life on Jan. 24 in Austin, Texas.

Thirteen states, including Texas, Tennessee and Missouri, have laws that would immediately ban abortion if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Major companies like Amazon, CitiGroup and Disney have announced in recent days that they will pay travel costs for employees to cross state lines to access abortion services or gender-affirming care for their children. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida wants to make that more expensive.

Guest: James Poindexter, Jacksonville attorney.
