Bernie Sanders was in Birmingham, Alabama to protest that state's "unconstitutional abortion ban" that was recently signed into law, where he said he was "proud to stand" with the pro-Choice protestors.
Sen. Cory Booker believes that Americans should "live in a country" that allows women to "make their own health care decisions," and that government should "protect that right."
Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who could become the first ever openly gay president echoed what Booker said:
"I believe that the right of a woman to make her own decisions about her reproductive health and about her body is a national right. I believe it is an American freedom that should be enjoyed by women in every state. The next president needs to be ready to protect those rights."
SPEAKING OF JOE... Uncle Joe Biden seems to have gone to church and taken the rest of the day off, so no comments about the abortion protests going on across the nation this weekend

IMMIGRATION AND TRUMP -President Donald Trump did not approve or authorize the weekly air transportation of hundreds of immigrants from the Mexican border to South Florida, the office of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Sunday.
The governor spoke with Trump on Saturday, two days after local officials said the Border Patrol notified them that 1,000 migrants would be sent soon to Palm Beach and Broward counties, said Helen Ferre, spokeswoman for DeSantis.
Although the acting secretary of National Security, Kevin McAleenan, acknowledged on Sunday that federal authorities notified local officials of the possibility of sending migrants by air, Trump later blamed the press for "false reports." - El Nuevo Herald
