i'm stephen sackur. when the us supreme court overturned the roe v wade decision, establishing a woman's right to an abortion, it looked like america's so—called right to life campaigners were winning. now? well, it's not so certain. the conservative movement is split on just how far anti—abortion legislation should go. opinion polls suggest most americans don't believe abortion should be outlawed, and some republicans fear this could be a vote loser. my guest is lila rose, described as one of the fiercest anti—abortion activists in america. are her absolutist views turning america off? lila rose, in southern california, welcome to hardtalk. thanks for having me, stephen. it's a great pleasure to have you on the show. ijust wonder if, right now, you feel you are wrestling with the law of unintended consequences. you welcomed that supreme court decision to overturn roe v wade, but since that happened a couple of years ago, it's become clear that most americans do not want to see a woman's right to c

it's not honest, stephen. several times in this interview, you've said that your opponents on the other sides of the arguments, whether it be about abortion generally or, in particular, about this ivf issue, you've implied that they have all the money, they are using media access and that you, somehow, are the underdog, fighting a campaign. this interview is a case in point, stephen, of how you present the questions and the misinformation in your questions. i think many people would argue that your movement and many others on the so—called right to life side of this argument are very well funded, have many immensely rich backers of your own, and also have had a very close relationship with the republican party. i'd love to meet some! i'm interested now to discuss with you whether you are ready to break with the republican party — but, in particular, with donald trump — because you want a federal ban outlawing abortion. you think that the constitution of the united states has to be amended in some way, or
