anyone involved could face up to five years in prison. >> of course, this is all playing out in a key state in the 2024 race. it comes one day after donald trump weighed in on the issue of abortion saying he would leave it up to the states. >> hallie jackson with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: hey there, savannah and craig. we are seeing the political shock waves this morning after they reinstated a law first put in place the year abraham lincoln was reinstated. all of it highlights how important critical access will be. a bombshell ruling in arizona putting in place one of the country's strictest abortion laws. overnight the democratic governor, furious -- >> the devastating impact on this ban that it will have on health care for women across the state is just unconstitutional. >> the state supreme court's decision reinstating a law put

in place a century ago, 1864 before arizona was even a state. it makes no exceptions for rape or insist, only for the life of the mother. once the law goes into effect, which could be the next couple of months, doctors could face prison time, up to five years. >> our judges and our state legislature feel that people in the year 2024 want to go back to 1864 to when slavery was legal and women didn't have the right to vote for 50 years. >> the state's attorney general says she has no intention on enforcing the law. >> no doctor or woman will be prosecuted under this draconian law. >> president biden calling it cruel and posting a photo of former president trump with the caption, trump did this, a nod to the supreme court's 2022 decision overturning roe v. wade, a decision that for decades overruled state laws like the one in arizona.

mr. trump who has taken credit for the supreme court decision. >> i'm probably the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars, both sides wanted and demanded be ended, roe v. wade. >> reporter: mr. trump also eluding to the realities at the ballot box since roe was overturned saying republicans should avoid losing elections on an issue that should be decided by the states. a video he made earlier this week and reiterated in his campaign saying these are decisions he land, in this case, the law of the state. >> reporter: already some arizona republicans distancing themselves from the state ruling, including senate candidate kerry lake, locked in one of the most high-profile races in the country. she endorsed the 1864 law.

>> we have a great law on the books right now. if that happens, we will be a state where we will not be taking the lives of our unborn anymore. >> reporter: now she says she opposes it, as does her democratic challenger. we will have our say. we will fight. >> this is a potent political issue with major repercussions for the 2024 presidential election in arizona, a key battleground state. and there is an effort to have an abortion issue, a ballot issue in november. what's the status of that? and what's the implication? >> yeah. abortion right supporters who were organizing that push say they have enough signatures to get this on the ballot in november. and there are 10 other states across the country where it is likely that voters will decide come november what kind of abortion access their states should have and the political realities are such that since the midterms in 2022 when this has been on the ballot voters have chosen to provide some

level of abortion access. we have seen that in polling, too, with the majority of americans saying that is something they support. it is a tricky issue for republicans to walk right now. we saw some in the gop try to thread that needle when the alabama ivf issue came up, for example. keep in mind, the democrats are going to make this front and center. they will try to highlight this from now until november. we talked about, for example, the new ad out from the biden campaign, that emotional abortion ad going after donald trump. a biden senior campaign adviser tells me overnight that since this arizona court ruling came out just yesterday, they have decided what they say significantly more money on that ad in the state of arizona which is an indication of how the biden team, the democrats will hope to press this issue from now until november. >> the vice president traveling there in the wake of that ruling, too. the first parents in the united states to be convicted in

>> it is the sentence of this court that you serve 10 to 15 years. >> reporter: 10 to 15 years behind bars for both james and general her crumbley, each convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the 2021 oxford high school shooting carried out by their then 15-year-old son who is serving out a life sentence. the families that lost loved ones speaking in court. >> the blood of our children is anything different, well, that really says what type of parents you are because there's a lot of things i would do different. but the one thing i would have wanted to be different was to take that bullet that day so she could continue to live on your hands, too. but the one thing i would have wanted to be different was to take that bullet that day so she could continue to live the life she deserved. >> reporter: jennifer crumbley later attempting to clarify that comment. >> with the benefit of hindsight and information i have now, my answer would be drastically different. >> reporter: also telling the court she found god and trumpeting.

>> the power of forgiveness. to forgive the prosecution for the slander and hate against me and my husband. >> reporter: james crumbley addressing the families. >> i am sorry for your loss as a result of what my son did. >> reporter: the speeches offering little comfort. >> this tragedy has taken an incredible toll on our family. >> reporter: arguing both parents ignored clear warning signs their son was violent and gave him easy access to a gun. and after sentencing, defense attorneys for both parents declined to comment. moving forward, the state tells us all three members of the crumbley family will be held in separate prisons. jennifer attorney wrote she already plans to appeal. >> maggie, thank you so much. joining us now is nicole, who lost her daughter in the school shooting and as you just saw made an emotional impact statement in yesterday's hearing. good morning to you. >> good morning.

>> i bet you imagined those words in that moment many, many times as you have struggled with this grief. what was it like to say them face-to-face with these parents? >> it was almost like a sense of relief. i played, you know, that day over and over in my head. it's a constant reminder of, you know, the events that i went t events i went through that day, and i wanted to let the parents know exactly how i felt that day after watching, you know, video surveillance of them and seeing their demeanors and the questions that they had and what they were worried about versus what through that day. difference of parenting and the difference of, you know, a loving mother and a mother that really just, you know, cared more for herself, and that's exactly what, you know, the

prosecution team was saying before, too, is that, you know, they were neglecting their child. >> james and jennifer crumbley apologized to the victims' families after hearing those statements. what did you think of that? do you find them to be genuine? >> no, i do not. i felt like it was a way for them to, again, place blame on, you know, somebody else versus themselves. in those statements there was still no accountability for their actions. there was no remorse. it was, you know, them just saying, you know, we thought we had a good kid, and we did this. you know, especially the way james crumbley directed a few things. it was just unacceptable. it felt like almost a slap in

the face to us again, stating that we were, you know, pushing hard for the facts and just felt like it was more of a disgraceful thing. >> you sat in court for much of these trials, which is an incredible act of courage to sit through that and have to re-live it in that way. the judge handed down a sentence that went beyond the state's sends? >> i think it sends a guidelines, the maximum sentence of up to 15 years. it sends a message. what message do you think it sends? >> i feel like it sends a message to really listen to your children. there should be accountability for every action that we have. and it sends a message to, you know, parents all around and even grandparents and any kind of guardian that, you know, children come first and they should be the priority. >> and, nicole, as we close, i want to bring the conversation

to where it should be, your beautiful daughter, madisyn. what would you like the world to know about her? >> madisyn was a -- i mean, i feel she still is, but she was such a kind soul. i mean, i said a short briefing of what she was in my impact statement and in the impact statement prior, but she really was that heartbeat to our family. she just constantly put herself last. she always wanted everybody to smile. she was a great student. she was an incredible big sister, really always looking out for her siblings, especially her brother who is special needs. she made a difference. that's exactly who she was. witty and the charisma, i miss her very much. >> well, we remember her very much. thank you for being here. we appreciate it. >> thank you. meantime, embattled plane

the details. good morning. >> hey, guys. good morning. uber gave us a first look at its new automatic in app safety features developed with female riders in mind. and i had a chance to go for a test drive. concerns about safety when using ride share apps on the mind of women. >> something weird happened the other day when i was waiting on my uber. >> i was like, i feel like deeply, deeply unsafe. >> reporter: this morning uber rolling out a new feature, the ability to automatically activate safety preferences based on time or location. think late-night trips, rides within 50 meters of a bar or restaurant, your week understood pickup or if you'd like for every ride. >> we're hoping these features gives them peace of mind so they don't have to think of it in the moment. >> reporter: what do you think it is going to mean for people that this is go on automatically. they have had a couple drinks. >> it allows riders to set it and forget it, to not worry about it when they are out

moving around town. >> reporter: riders can hospital into share my trip, which allows you to share your gps locations to a friend or family member. ride check prompts uber to check in if your trip veers off course. and audio recording which can be created and encrypted for the entirety of the ride. was this built with women in mind? >> we got a lot of feedback from all riders, but it is something we heard specifically from women riders, that they really wanted this type of optionality in app. >> lyft introduced safety features and cited 3,800 reports of sexual assault and misconduct. you open up your app and navigate to accounts, settings and scroll down to safety preferences. once you are here, you can choose which features you are interested in. here's what is new.

you can determine when exactly you wanted those features to kick in, automatically now, between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. or within 50 meters of a bar or restaurant. now let's test it out. i'm going to order a ride. since i'm leaving a bar, my safety preferences kick in. as i get into my uber, i will check with my driver that he can use my pin to get this ride started. hi. are you nate? hi, nate? can i give you my pin? >> oh, sure. hold on one second. >> okay. my pin is 4108. >> 4108. there it is. >> there we go. so let me buckle up now that you've got my pin. i can see right here audio recording kicked in. so should something go wrong, the audio of this will be able to be reviewed by uber. we also have the preference of ride check engage right now, so

the app will ask me if everything is okay if we go off course. nate, as a driver, do these features make you feel safer? >> actually they do mostly because the passenger is comfortable, so i'm a little bit more comfortable. >> this is interesting. so can you explain this pin number verification system? >> absolutely. it is a little counter intuitive because i thought the driver should give me a pin. but what's actually happening is you are provided with a pin. be. let's say you got in the wrong car, they wouldn't have the functionality to get in. or if it was an uber driver and it was a mistake, they put your pin, they say, uhn-uhn, you are in the wrong car. >> can they just drive away? >> i suppose. >> now you're in the car. >> yes, but you would see on your phone, uber is not starting. this is not what i requested. >> and your friend is watching, too. >> i'm saying i'm not moving because they see your trip and

see the car you requested corner. >> last week somebody got in my uber and i saw a little car driving down the street. >> that's a great example where a pin would be useful. it would mean that car can't move, even more just like that, convenience. >> before i get in the car, i say who are you here for? if they say, savannah, i say great. >> that's an added layer to that. >> you should rent an apartment nearby and walk home. >> i love it. it is kind of interesting, especially because there is a lot of concerns on public transportation, i think. you want to make this as safe as possible. >> your demonstration really helped, too, helped us understand. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys. up next, dr. torres is here, and he's in the studio to help us bust a popular myth about everything that we have -- multitasks, we all try to do it, so can you actually be more productive when you have a lot to do? but, first, this is "today" on

well, being such a busy girl and all. of course, i call people while i'm doing the dishes or shelling peas. oprah calls it multitasking. >> okay. forget that line there from "sweet home alabama."multitaske. but unfortunately, doing three things at once isn't always as productive as you might think. here is a closer look at the myth of multitasking and how our brains are actually wired to tackle the to do list, dr. john torres. dr. john, always good to see we all have days when we feel being a multitasker, a lot of folks wear it as a badge of honor. people drag about being able to do six things at once. you maintain that. >> and i'm the same thing.

i always pride myself in multitasking. i can do multiple things. it turns out we can't do that. our brain has certain centers, executive center, coordinating center. when those are occupied with a task, they are occupied with that one task. they can't do other things. instead, what we are, we are task switchers. we can go from task to task very quickly. the problem is you pay a price when you do that. so doing two things at once, not possible, but you are doing it rapidly one after another. >> but riddle me this. if i can talk on the phone or i'm doing the dishes or doing something around the house, it seems like that would be multitasking. >> what's happening is one of those tasks is something that you do repetitively. you either have muscle memory or a good ability to do it because you have mastered it. it almost goes into your subconscious. you are on auto pilot when you do that. and you can focus on the task at hand you are doing. if somebody knows how to crochet, they could do that if they are doing something else. on the other hand, if we're

trying to learn how to crochet, we have to focus on the task. >> multitasking, is that bad for us? >> it can be bad for us in a couple different regions. if you are multitasking and you are not doing everything at 100%. so you can do things good, but you can't do things very well together when you are multitasking, and that can take a toll on you, anxiety, stress. it has been shown to raise your blood pressure. over time that can cause problems. you pay what's called that switch cost, that switching back and forth from tasks. that can cause problems with the task in and of itself. >> a lot of folks watching and listening, especially moms out there who are forced to do more than one thing at a time, what can we do? what are some tips, if you will? >> some of the things you can do is practice doing s when you do that, you are not especially things you know you can do repetitively and you know you can have an ability to do it. change your scenery around where you are, too.

say you are in an office area, it is a quiet zone. that means you can do it in that quiet zone alone. try things small. give yourself certain time limits and say, i will do this for five minutes. then i will switch to another task, and that should help. never ever multitask when you are driving. because you never know -- even though you have driven that same route time and time again, something could happen, a kid could run in front trying to catch a ball, and you have to pay 100% attention to that. >> so multitasking isn't a thing? >> it's a myth. task switching is what you and i and other people are good at, going from task to task to task. the problem is, if you do that too rapidly you don't do either one at 100%. >> cell phones, being as ubiquitous as they are, that has made it worse. >> i'm famous in my house. my wife or my kids saying something to me and me going, uh-huh, uh-huh while i'm doing two other things in my mind and the next day going, you never told me that.

then i get the, yes, i did, i was task switching at that point, wasn't paying attention. >> your house sounds like my house. thank you, sir. the executive center of your brain trying to figure out what to do on a busy weeknight for dinner, kevin curry is here with that answer. it's a chicken dish that's loaded. not just with cheese, but with flavor. we will learn how to make this sucker tonight. we will learn how to make it in a few minutes here. but, first, this is "today" on

>> now you have a new recipe. >> is it good? >> yeah. >> you just put the basil and and garlic the cheese. >> yes. now we will chicken it up. we use oil as a binder. then we have some onion powder and garlic powder. this is some thyme. it could be oregano, salt, pepper, boom. lean. it cooks quickly. you want to cook vegetables that will do that, too. they will -- and it is cheaper to buy the whole head and do-it-yourself. but do this, boom, easy. and then we're going to add -- >> i know you love this because it is just versatile. whatever your jam is, you can do. >> you don't have to use the cheese, dairy issues. >> absolutely. it is versatile that way. potatoes because they take

longer, make sure you cube these. these have to be cut cheese, dairy issues. >> absolutely. it is versatile that way. potatoes because they take longer, make sure you cube these. these have to be cut in smaller pieces just like this. so it looks just like this. and then sheet pan. don't use another bowl. put everything here in a sheet pan. >> those potatoes will cook at the same time. >> exactly because they're small er pieces. >> put some olive there. do you have some sage on there? fancy stuff. mix that together. boom. there we go. that's right. get into it. >> throw this thing together. make a little room for the chicken breast. >> then we will put this right here. this is perfect. >> you're right. this is a doable dinner for tonight.

>> yeah. >> absolutely. even if you can't cook, don't prove me wrong out there. this is an easy recipe to do. >> this is like two serving on this plate already. >> how long are you going to bake that? >> for 20 minutes around 420. just make sure the chicken is going all the way through. the bigger this is, you want to make sure it is cooked all the way through. >> about 20 minutes. >> it is on the website. >> i know. look at me. >> i got a question. if i use a thermometer to check this meat, when i put the meat thermometer in the center, i hit the cheese, right? >> remember, because you slice it, it will cook a little faster because it is two layers now. it is almost like butterflying the chicken. >> absolutely. this is also a great grilling recipe, too, so you get the smokey flavor of that. >> i hope you don't have a bite in your mouth. you have birthdays. let's spin those smucker's jars.
