Fly right back to New York where his criminal trial resumes tomorrow in wakaan today Trump veering off teleprompter to defend himself on an issue that could decide the election abortion basically the states decide on abortion and people are absolutely thrilled with the way that's going on just this week Trump telling Time.
Magazine he won't object if States monitor pregnant women to make sure they comply with abortion bans and prosecute women who violate them today he doubled down now I say it's up to the state they'll ask me a question about I say that's up to the state so I say to you uh I think we did a very good job in that a lot of people are very happy with.
It today vice president KLA Harris firing back in Florida where the State's new abortion law just went into effect Banning abortion at 6 weeks before most women even know they are pregnant basically under Donald Trump it would be fair game for women to be monitored and punished by the government whereas Joe Biden and I have.
A different view we believe the government should never come between a woman and her doctor Florida's near total ban means abortion access is now largely cut off across the entire South as of this morning 4 million women in this state woke up with fewer reproductive freedoms than they.
Had last night this is the new reality under a trump abortion ban a big issue in Florida and Beyond Rachel Scott joins us now from the campaign Trail Rachel what are you hearing from the campaigns about how the abortion issue will play out come November get Donald Trump elected L if.
One thing is for sure we know the Biden campaign is counting on the issue of abortion rights to really Galvanize Democrats and possibly even Independence heading into November but both campaigns are keenly aware that this issue could be on the ballot in as many as 13 States including several key Battlegrounds and the fact that abortion rights has won.
Every single time it has been on the ballot Lind could be pivotal Rachel scottt from a trump event in Freeland Michigan thanks so much Rachel the Arizona Senate has approved the repeal of that Civil War era abortion Ban two Republicans voted with Democrats one week after the Arizona House approved the repeal.
Governor ktie Hobbs is set to sign it into law which would return the state's 2022 abortion law into effect the 2022 law bans abortion after 15 weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest the repeal can't take effect until sometime in the fall while the 1864 law takes effect on June 27th unless a court intervenes for more about the latest abortion ban in.
Florida we want to bring in chief medical officer Dr Robin shikler from Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida uh Dr thank you so much for joining us what are your conversations like with patients who arrive at Planned Parenthood for an abortion and are more than six weeks pregnant yeah so that's a very hard.
Conversation and um you know we actually did have to start having those before today because Florida does have a 24-hour waiting period so there were patients that we saw yesterday and even the day before um that we wouldn't be able to get in before May 1st um it's it's a hard conversation we tell them that we would not be able to provide the.
Abortion to them in the State of Florida and we provide them their options and if they want to continue seeking an abortion then we have patient Navigators that can help them get to where they need to go um and get the resources to get to where they need to go and so when you say you provide them options does that mean you give them recommendations.
Outside of the state yes so we give them recommendations um for different clinics that are outside the state and if they need something um like navigation services from us we can provide that and I want to back up for a little bit because we've heard a lot of conversations about um many women not.
Even knowing that they're pregnant at six weeks is that something that you run into as well yes so the way we date a pregnancy is we count from the first day of the last menstrual period that's also basically what ultrasounds go on so if someone has a regular period by the time they've Miss.
A a period they're already four weeks along and so that gives them little time to to one even just realize that they missed a period um and two to obtain the care that they need so six weeks is really a tiny amount of time and the majority of patients that I've seen in my practice don't even know till they're at.
Least six weeks and what are you hearing from these patients right now especially in regard to to having to seek Health Care out of the state of Florida yeah these patients are frustrated um you know and it's a mixture some patients are aware of what's going on some people um you know are busy in their lives and and don't have the time.
To keep track of everything going on and so it's the first time they've heard about it when we say we can't take care of them they're frustrated they're mad they they just came in to get health care and now they're being told that they can't um and that they have to travel hundreds if not thousands of miles out of the state of Florida from.
Their home to get that care and with the six week band now taking effect what concerns you most with regard to a pregnant person's physical and emotional health yeah I think you know people are going to continue pregnancies that put them at High risk.
Of both physical and mental and emotional harm and anguish and distress and I think we're going to see an increase in things like maternal morbidity or our sick women who are pregnant because we can't intervene before any of that happens and can you tell us about what's next because there's a lot that that still isn't.
Known as you said even for somebody to Define what constitutes putting the mother's life at risk and I know that there's an amendment on the ballot for the November election to limit the governor government's power tell us what that Amendment seeks to do yes so this amendment is really to get our rights back it's to to be able.
To seek medical care and obtain that Medical Care without the government intervening in that care and we deserve that right our patients deserve that right to seek whatever Medical Care they need and abortion happens to be part of that medical care for many people Dr Robin shikler we thank you so.
Much for your time and insight really appreciate it thank you next night millions are on alert for tornadoes at this hour the Heartland bracing for another round of possible Twisters as well as hail and damaging winds 15 reported tornado in the last 24 hours from Texas to Iowa this one in West Morland Kansas kicking up debris the.

Tomorrow then let's talk about what happens into the later hours because this doesn't just stop once the sun goes down in fact it'll keep on keeping on up till midnight and Beyond even Dallas Fort Worth could hear some rumbles of thunder and right on the edge of SE severe thunderstorms and then tomorrow we'll clear it out and destabilize the.
Atmosphere again just enough enough to kick off more for the very similar area wit to Falls in there in abene the main threat tomorrow is damaging winds but I want to leave you with this idea because we had such a prolific April second most tornadoes for the month since records began in 1950 but climatologically may is the month we've got to look out for.

Movie we just saw what no one has seen before wow look at that oh my go we are heading into the unknown Hammer Hammer Hammer it doesn't get any more Cutting Edge than this welcome back everyone historically.
Black colleges and universities have long been a pillar of the African-American community providing a safe place for students to learn when they were barred from studying because of the color of their skin despite proof of their success and value they still face some unique challenges one of them funding while it impacts many HBCU St.
Augustine's University is at a Tipping Point with a long Legacy now in serious Peril ABC's Morgan Norwood traveled to North Carolina where the University's president is now hoping for a miracle for me was uh pretty much a no-brainer still not really understanding at that.
Time the magnitude of what a HBCU can do for my life I was going to use this opportunity to manifest who Marcus Buress is going to become these are the moments that make Dr Marcus Burgess Proud to be an HBCU graduate you have to think that at one point or another there were no the options for.
African-Americans but it's the Legacy the representation and history that makes Dr Burgess even more proud to be the president of a historically black college we do a great job of opening up the world for students that it may have been closed off R this is St augustin's University in.
Raley North Carolina founded in 1867 the chapel this building right here those rocks were brought from The Rock query these buildings were built by faculty staff and students when you think about who we produce you have 40% of black Engineers 50% of black teachers uh 70% of um black doctors and dentists and 80% of black judges St a is.
Just one of 11 HBCU in North Carolina just 25 mil Northwest is north Carolina Central University founded in 1910 hello how are you Dr David Jackson is Provost and vice Chancellor let's just check and a historian at heart barriers were very rigid and so really out of necessity African-Americans.
Created parallel institutions not just in terms of churches and businesses but also educational institutions yeah what were those challenges back then and would you say that they're the same today some of them uh certainly over but uh the need for financial support the need to um maintain uh infrastructure the need to recruit talented faculty I.
Think those things remain the same and while Central's finances are secure that's where our provos offices are at s the funding to further that vision is fading I'm looking at this six-story building right here our girls dorm it needs a new boiler so I have two outdated dorms that really to be torn down and built up the code seog is.
Struggling to keep the doors of the school open when I got the call in December somewhere in that timeline that uh the accreditation was lost what I considered coming as the entran president I didn't hesitate so you inherited this according to sax the southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on colleges the.
University's accreditation is on hold over financial and governance issues the institution was put on probation and in response the university sent a letter of arbitration to sax on March 11th it gave us 90 days so within that 90 days we're still accredited it allows our seniors to graduate from an accredited institution what went wrong here and I.
Know this was before your time but what's your understanding of how we got to this point the biggest piece starts with our missing audits from 21 22 and 23 a $34 million budget there was only $130,000 that can be accounted for so a new Finance team was brought in and they literally had to recreate all of those financials and it took them about two.
Years to do that would you go as far to say that this was mismanagement oh most definitely the university tells ABC news they've since parted ways with the finance department that would have been responsible for the alleged mismanagement we also reached out to the attorney for former University president Dr Christine mcfa who in a statement.
Said we are not at Liberty to discuss the financial situation at St augustin's University adding it is our position that St augustin's termination of Dr mcf's employment was unrelated to the school's financial situation but despite who's to blame the financial woes are extensive according to federal tax documents obtained by ABC News the IRS.
Hit the university with a nearly 7.8 million doll tax lean for unpaid payroll taxes dating back to 2020 I have payroll that we're about to miss the third payroll so you have staff that not been paid have not been paid but they still fight for this institution they still teach and our our students they want to see this class get to the graduation day.
But they are hurting they are Hur what do you say to them I'm sorry thank you be angry with them but they continue to teach they continue to work in spite of since this.
Interview in March employees have continued to go without a paycheck including Dr Burgess there's a ripple effect to this crisis if seog loses accreditation 85% of students lose financial aid transferring is just not something I would have ever thought um but I'm still thinking about it nothing is really.
Finalized right now I really hope that something can happen because all my peers are confident that this school will remain strong and stay open Stog needs to raise close to $32 million in order to pay its debtors and keep the doors open historically black universities and institutions both private and public.
Across the country are historically underfunded due to state and federal underinvestment lower endowments and less alumni support alumni giving is is very very critical and that's an area where uh all of our institutions uh could stand to to perform better generationally African-Americans are just getting to a point where they have.
Generational wealth that can be passed to an institution America's HBCU have faced a number of recent challenges and a complete overhaul State lawmakers in Tennessee stri Tennessee State University of its board during the height of of a funding crisis and in Mississippi lawmakers proposed a bill that would have shuttered the state's.
Only public HBCU there are a lot of other St a St Augustines around this country around this world with time running out employees unpaid and students in limbo St Augustine's university is in desperate need of a miracle and though they've had an outpouring of support from alumni Community donations it's hardly enough.
We need Capital cash is King I don't want to have to sell any of our land yeah because in the black community in African American Community we know how hard it's been to get these get this land Dr Burgess can visualize the future success of St OG we are thankful for the alumni and Community who brought food and support he's hoping others can look.
Beyond the missteps and see it too I'm forever reminded by my senior year $1,200 is what I needed to graduate one of our board members Dr Rett Jackson he was on campus and handed me an.
Envelope and it wasn't one check it was several checks from his Sunday school class and he told them about this young man at cling Unity University who just needed a chance I'm living testimony of why you should always look to help somebody if you can we need that chance he says he's just trying to give.
Others that chance our thanks to Morgan for that still much more to get to tonight coming up the penalties these voters are facing after being caught on camera dumping garbage cans full of trash into the water but next May marks the beginning of Asian-American native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month we take a look at the rich history.

Someone like me who many people did not think that I'd be able to do the stuff that I'm doing right now so it's just wild cheers have a huge impact just for Kennedy for her confidence and for her communication skills and her socialization in 2023 ush here was recognized as a Sports organization by not just the Olympic Committee but also.
The paralympic committee giving the sport a much bigger platform I started in 2017 working with disabled athletes and really helping them shine in cheerleading and dance that was good Energy's good Lee trudell is the director of Special Olympics and adaptive abilities cheer teams why is inclusion so important inclusion is.
Important cuz it's part of the work part of our everyday life so it's just giving the opportunities for the athletes and the families to really showcase and shine on what they can do always be strong always putting out our best hit your pose as a teen Kennedy was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder we didn't actually know if she would be.
Able to walk or talk at the beginning so we didn't really know her future her mom Lisa put her in cheer class along with her older sisters I think she kind of wanted to be just like her big sisters so that's where it kind of started I guess she decided to try out for the High School cheer team so that's where it really started to grow and that.
Became her whole entire world and so cheer was you know everything she felt part of the school you know she really felt like she was part of something and would you say that cheer helped Kennedy we have a community now and it is our whole world right now arms up United States small and mighty he's a daily inspiration to me at 3 years old Jaden.

Until we had to go through the struggle with him he's had so many things to overcome he wasn't swallowing he lost his hearing but throughout that process you know we've saw how many times he wasn't necessarily included in everything equally with his peers so to be able to be a part of something that promotes inclusion and everybody being.
Side by side equally important cheer has opened up a lot of doors to me in my life and I think it's a huge blessing to watch it open up doors for my kids as well through hard work and perseverance both Jaden and Kennedy are part of USA cheer participating in the ICU World cheerleading and dance championship in Orlando one Special Olympics came it.
