"content": "\u003cp>The sun shone down on Market and Noe streets on Saturday, cleared of cars and filled with smiling people. Vendors sold paintings of an idealized Castro neighborhood to passers-by. A drag queen in a yellow jumpsuit sashayed on a stage sporting signage behind her that read \"FAMILY PRIDE\" — this was San Francisco's first annual Family Pride block party. Parents held children on their shoulders and swayed to the beat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Husbands Maple Chen and Collin Anthony Chen pushed their stroller through it all. But as their 6-month-old son Henry goggled, wide-eyed but calm, at the sights of his very first Pride weekend, a familiar worry were on his fathers' minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade curtailing abortion rights across the country weren't weighty enough, a warning came written in the opinion of Justice Clarence Thomas, a stray few lines amid the 213-page decision that could change the course of the country, and their family's life.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"James Cox, advocacy director, Oakland Black Pride\"]'This is just a start, taking away women's rights.

I was just in shock. I was in awe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's anxious now, he said: \"If we're going back to the decisions that have been made by the Supreme Court, all of that is now in jeopardy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's especially worrisome, Maple Chen said, \"if we're thinking about our next kid.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11918057\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/HurtadoandNicole-1.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11918057 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/HurtadoandNicole-1-800x573.jpg\" alt=\"Two women stand together with arms around each other in the middle of the street.\" width=\"800\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/HurtadoandNicole-1-800x573.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/HurtadoandNicole-1-1020x730.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/HurtadoandNicole-1-160x115.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/HurtadoandNicole-1-1536x1099.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/HurtadoandNicole-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wives Luisa Hurtado and Nicole Brown pose for a photo at the Family Pride block party on Saturday, June 25, 2022. \u003ccite>(Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Their family wasn't alone in their concern. Wives Luisa Hurtado and Nicole Brown also were at the Family Pride block party. They worried how losing same-sex marriage rights would affect their co-owned business, and their hope to adopt a child from Colombia, where Hurtado hails from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to adopt and kind of have kids that are also part of my culture,\" Hurtado said. They thought there had been enough progress in both countries to make that dream a reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even worse, Brown felt Thomas' warning spurred unanswered questions that could lead to diminished lives. \"What if we can't be gay at work? What if we need to shield ourselves, and be a fraction of who we are?\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the bay, Lake Merritt played host to Oakland Black Pride. James Cox, advocacy director for the eponymous organization that sponsors the event, said despite the Pride weekend celebrations, the recent Supreme Court decision was top of everybody's mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is just a start, taking away women’s rights. Next it’s going to be taking away LGBTQ rights, trans rights, the rights of interracial couples. Like, how far are they going to go with this?\" they asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Friday's decision, Justice Thomas cited three past rulings to revisit, centering on contraception, sodomy and same-sex marriage. Melissa Murray, an NYU legal scholar with expertise in constitutional law, told NPR that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/06/25/1107663904/roe-v-wade-repeal-raises-questions-about-other-constitutional-rights\">Thomas essentially pointed the way toward other laws the public could push for reconsideration\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In doing so, he's essentially inviting future challenges to rights of same-sex marriage, rights of contraception, rights of parents to raise their children in the manner of their choosing,\" Murray said. \"All of those rights are underlaid by the same grant of liberty that Roe was underlaid by, and that has been found to be insufficient to root this in constitutional protection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Thomas' fellow conservative justices explicitly wrote that their decision to overturn Roe v. Wade should not, and would not, affect those other decisions, the liberal justices plainly disagreed in their dissenting opinion.[aside postID=\"arts_13915237,news_11918017\" label=\"Related Posts\"]\"No one should be confident that this majority is done\u003cbr>\nwith its work,\" wrote justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer. \"The right Roe and Casey recognized does not stand alone. To the contrary, the Court has linked it for decades to other settled freedoms involving bodily integrity, familial relationships, and procreation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those rights, the justices wrote, \"are all part of the same constitutional fabric.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown — the self-proclaimed \"Ayatollah of the Assembly,\" a political star-maker and long-respected political watcher — made a similar analysis to KQED on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're full of shit,\" said Brown in regard to the statements by conservative justices assuring people that the Dobbs decision would not affect same-sex marriage. (His opinion was phrased in what was \u003cem>perhaps\u003c/em> a more pointed fashion than that of the liberal Supreme Court justices.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether he thought Justice Thomas is alone on the court in his opinion, Brown replied, \"Not at all. Of course he isn't alone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown spoke from just outside an annual Pride breakfast hosted by the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club, an annual feast before the parade where LGBTQ+ advocates and politicians hobnob. The club's San Franciscan namesake, writer Alice B. Toklas, lived with writer Gertrude Stein in Paris for years as they hosted art salons together; theirs has been described as \"\u003ca href=\"https://jweekly.com/2016/12/23/paris-and-gay-love-through-the-eyes-of-gertrude-stein-and-alice-b-toklas/\">one of the best gay love stories of the 20th century\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toklas died in Paris at the age of 89. But even in her \u003ca href=\"https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/98/05/03/specials/stein-toklasobit.html\">New York Times obituary\u003c/a>, which was written in 1967, she was described merely as Stein's \"longtime friend.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday morning, inside the walls of the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Hotel, politicians warned attendees of the Toklas Pride breakfast that conservatives threaten to take the country back to such an era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These laws that they're passing are creating absolute terror for members of our community across this country,\" said State Sen. Scott Wiener, specifically naming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose now-infamous \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1089221657/dont-say-gay-florida-desantis\">Don't Say Gay\u003c/a>\" bill restricts schools from discussing everyday gay life. It's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/04/10/1091543359/15-states-dont-say-gay-anti-transgender-bills\">also inspired copycat bills\u003c/a> throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These laws are not just bad. We all deal with bad laws that get passed,\" Wiener told the crowd. \"These are laws that literally question whether our community has a right to exist, whether we have a right to exist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener, who is openly gay, has received multiple death threats, including a recent bomb threat that was deemed credible enough to send a bomb squad to his home. He noted that it wasn't that long ago that people with hate in their hearts would drive long distances to beat gay men in the Castro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're used to violence, unfortunately, in this community. We also know how to fight back,\" Wiener said. \"Clarence Thomas did us a favor by saying the quiet part out loud, that Roe is just the beginning. They want to reinstate anti-sodomy laws. They want to end marriage equality. They want to end contraception.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So guess what? We're not going back\" to those times, Wiener said. \"Not ever. That means we should be pissed off and should anger-tweet, but that's not enough. We have to win elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, also at the Pride breakfast, offered another solution: putting Republicans on the record about their positions, in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1541097167951040512\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what we plan to do is put all these things back on the agenda so we can put them on the record. Enshrining Roe v. Wade as law of the land. Passing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/02/24/969591569/house-to-vote-on-equality-act-heres-what-the-law-would-do\">Equality Act,\u003c/a>\" Pelosi said, referring to a ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But outside the breakfast, late in the morning as the crowds for the Pride parade began to form on Market Street, Brown sounded a more clear-eyed warning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We went to sleep a long time ago as Democrats. We had no vision of what tomorrow could be like. And as we achieved all the things we achieved, redefining, etcetera, we didn't understand we needed to protect them,\" he said, referring to abortion rights and rights for LGBTQ+ communities. \"The Republicans knew exactly how to ultimately get rid of them, and they did what they needed to do at every level. They started with justices of the peace and [went] all the way up to the Supreme Court. That's the way it is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing just before the Hyatt's wide, revolving doors, Brown and this reporter could see Pride revelers beginning to gather outside. Brown gave his view plainly: Democrats have failed. And with those failures come very real consequences not only for people who can become pregnant but, soon, possibly everyone who was celebrating under the colorful Pride banners fluttering just outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Daphne Young contributed to this report.

Of course he isn't alone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown spoke from just outside an annual Pride breakfast hosted by the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club, an annual feast before the parade where LGBTQ+ advocates and politicians hobnob. The club's San Franciscan namesake, writer Alice B. Toklas, lived with writer Gertrude Stein in Paris for years as they hosted art salons together; theirs has been described as \"\u003ca href=\"https://jweekly.com/2016/12/23/paris-and-gay-love-through-the-eyes-of-gertrude-stein-and-alice-b-toklas/\">one of the best gay love stories of the 20th century\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toklas died in Paris at the age of 89.

Scott Wiener, specifically naming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose now-infamous \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1089221657/dont-say-gay-florida-desantis\">Don't Say Gay\u003c/a>\" bill restricts schools from discussing everyday gay life. It's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/04/10/1091543359/15-states-dont-say-gay-anti-transgender-bills\">also inspired copycat bills\u003c/a> throughout the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These laws are not just bad. We all deal with bad laws that get passed,\" Wiener told the crowd. \"These are laws that literally question whether our community has a right to exist, whether we have a right to exist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener, who is openly gay, has received multiple death threats, including a recent bomb threat that was deemed credible enough to send a bomb squad to his home. He noted that it wasn't that long ago that people with hate in their hearts would drive long distances to beat gay men in the Castro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're used to violence, unfortunately, in this community. We also know how to fight back,\" Wiener said. \"Clarence Thomas did us a favor by saying the quiet part out loud, that Roe is just the beginning. They want to reinstate anti-sodomy laws. They want to end marriage equality. They want to end contraception.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So guess what? We're not going back\" to those times, Wiener said. \"Not ever. That means we should be pissed off and should anger-tweet, but that's not enough. We have to win elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, also at the Pride breakfast, offered another solution: putting Republicans on the record about their positions, in Congress.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And many have been compelled to share their personal experiences with abortion — some for the very first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Lesley McClurg spoke with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/05/29/1101973218/women-share-their-experience-of-getting-an-abortion-before-roe-made-it-legal\">several women who ended their pregnancies before Roe v. Wade\u003c/a>. For many, the memories of their illegal abortions were traumatic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These women included Pearl Lipner, who sought an abortion in 1963 when she was 18 years old and using the birth control pill. For $1,500 in cash, she was given an abortion using the dangerous technique of packing the uterus with gauze, used back then by unskilled abortion providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If something happened, I was not to go to the hospital because I’d be immediately arrested,” said Lipner. Twenty-four hours later, she was alone and in excruciating pain, and passed out as she began hemorrhaging. Hours later, a friend arranged for a former Vietnam medic to visit her home to give Lipner a blood transfusion — with likely stolen blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClurg also spoke with her own mother, Jan, whom she says opened the conversation by saying, “You know, you might not be here today if I hadn’t had an abortion in 1968.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jan McClurg related how after her own illegal abortion in Mexico City, she began bleeding heavily — “I remember just being terrified” — but, like Lipner, didn’t dare go to the hospital for fear of the legal repercussions. She recovered quickly but said, “I go years and don’t even think about it. And then when I do, I still get so emotional.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told her daughter she has no regrets. “There was no way on Earth that I was prepared for motherhood. It was not meant to be,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the full story from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/californiareportmagazine\">The California Report Magazine\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Women Share Their Experience of Getting an Abortion Before Roe Made it Legal\" src=\"https://omny.fm/shows/kqed-segmented-audio/mcclurg-abortionmag/embed?style=artwork\" width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>More Californians share their abortion stories\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In anticipation of Friday’s decision, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101889084/women-who-have-had-abortions-reflect-on-a-world-without-roe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED Forum discussed the implications of a world without Roe\u003c/a>, and invited listeners to call in and share their personal experiences with abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outpouring of responses reflected both the weight and trauma of unwanted pregnancy, and the liberation granted by laws that support bodily autonomy.

But as Roe is struck down, and California grapples with the reality of a nation with no guaranteed abortion access, we’re bringing their stories to you now:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.carolebumpus.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carole Bumpus:\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>“When I became pregnant while unmarried and in college, I chose to deliver my baby and give her up for adoption. This was in 1967 and during the Vietnam war. The father of the baby was unwilling to accept responsibility, my own father was an Anglican [Episcopal] priest, and I didn’t want to bring shame to our family. I went far, far away to deliver in a state where I knew no one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifteen years later, when I was ending a brutal marriage, I found I was pregnant again. I chose abortion and have never felt one moment of regret. I couldn’t abide staying in the marriage and had two other children to take care of and raise while working two jobs. I wanted to give my living children what energy I had left for them. One of the reasons I went ahead with the abortion was because it was so painful to lose my first baby to adoption. When that sweet child reached the age of 25, she reached out to me and we have been connected ever since — but not without the residual loss of sharing her life before our meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since then I became a family therapist working with juveniles who ended up in detention. The legal term that was given to many of them was ‘throwaway children’ and were exactly the ones whose parents could not take care of them. This increased my belief that babies who are chosen will have a better life.

I found my bliss in science and I finally got my doctorate in education. I have had a wonderful life and wouldn’t change a minute. What I have is a life lived fully. Which would not have been, had I not made the decision to have two abortions. I suppose if I had been forced to raise two children without any support, my life might have been all right, but I doubt it.

And many have been compelled to share their personal experiences with abortion — some for the very first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Lesley McClurg spoke with \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/05/29/1101973218/women-share-their-experience-of-getting-an-abortion-before-roe-made-it-legal\">several women who ended their pregnancies before Roe v. Wade\u003c/a>. For many, the memories of their illegal abortions were traumatic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These women included Pearl Lipner, who sought an abortion in 1963 when she was 18 years old and using the birth control pill. For $1,500 in cash, she was given an abortion using the dangerous technique of packing the uterus with gauze, used back then by unskilled abortion providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If something happened, I was not to go to the hospital because I’d be immediately arrested,” said Lipner. Twenty-four hours later, she was alone and in excruciating pain, and passed out as she began hemorrhaging. Hours later, a friend arranged for a former Vietnam medic to visit her home to give Lipner a blood transfusion — with likely stolen blood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClurg also spoke with her own mother, Jan, whom she says opened the conversation by saying, “You know, you might not be here today if I hadn’t had an abortion in 1968.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jan McClurg related how after her own illegal abortion in Mexico City, she began bleeding heavily — “I remember just being terrified” — but, like Lipner, didn’t dare go to the hospital for fear of the legal repercussions. She recovered quickly but said, “I go years and don’t even think about it. And then when I do, I still get so emotional.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told her daughter she has no regrets. “There was no way on Earth that I was prepared for motherhood.

This was in 1967 and during the Vietnam war. The father of the baby was unwilling to accept responsibility, my own father was an Anglican [Episcopal] priest, and I didn’t want to bring shame to our family. I went far, far away to deliver in a state where I knew no one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifteen years later, when I was ending a brutal marriage, I found I was pregnant again. I chose abortion and have never felt one moment of regret. I couldn’t abide staying in the marriage and had two other children to take care of and raise while working two jobs. I wanted to give my living children what energy I had left for them. One of the reasons I went ahead with the abortion was because it was so painful to lose my first baby to adoption. When that sweet child reached the age of 25, she reached out to me and we have been connected ever since — but not without the residual loss of sharing her life before our meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since then I became a family therapist working with juveniles who ended up in detention. The legal term that was given to many of them was ‘throwaway children’ and were exactly the ones whose parents could not take care of them. This increased my belief that babies who are chosen will have a better life.

"content": "\u003cp>The Supreme Court has ended the nation's constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years in a decision by its conservative majority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Friday's outcome \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11917855/heres-where-abortions-will-likely-be-banned-or-strictly-limited-post-roe\">is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides predicted the fight over abortion would continue, in state capitals and in Washington, and Justice Clarence Thomas, part of Friday's majority, called on the court to overturn other high court rulings protecting same-sex marriage, gay sex and the use of contraceptives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling came more than a month after the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11913011/california-will-fight-like-hell-to-protect-abortion-rights-if-roe-v-wade-overturned-newsom-says\">stunning leak of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito\u003c/a> indicating the court was prepared to take this momentous step. It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alito, in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf\">final opinion issued Friday\u003c/a>, wrote that Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the 1992 decision that reaffirmed the right to abortion, were wrong the days they were decided and must be overturned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We therefore hold that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives,\" Alito wrote, in an opinion that was very similar to the leaked draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authority to regulate abortion rests with the political branches, not the courts, Alito wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11917111 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/RS55728_073_KQED_AbortionRallySF_05032022-qut-1-1020x679.jpg']Joining Alito were Thomas and Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett.

Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives,\" Alito wrote, in an opinion that was very similar to the leaked draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authority to regulate abortion rests with the political branches, not the courts, Alito wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That dispute turned on the unique structure of the law, including its enforcement by private citizens rather than by state officials, and how it can be challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted in a searing dissent for the three liberal justices that their conservative colleagues refused to block \"a flagrantly unconstitutional law\" that \"flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents.\" Roberts was also among the dissenters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in December, after hearing additional arguments over whether to block the Texas law known as S.B. 8, the court again declined to do so, also by a 5-4 vote. \"The clear purpose and actual effect of S. B. 8 has been to nullify this Court's rulings,\" Roberts wrote, in a partial dissent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their Senate hearings, Trump's three high-court picks carefully skirted questions about how they would vote in any cases, including about abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even as Democrats and abortion rights supporters predicted Kavanaugh and Gorsuch would vote to upend abortion rights if confirmed, the two left at least one Republican senator with a different impression. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine predicted Gorsuch and Kavanaugh wouldn't support overturning the abortion cases, based on private conversations she had with them when they were nominees to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett was perhaps the most vocal opponent of abortion in her time as a law professor, before becoming a federal judge in 2017. She was a member of anti-abortion groups at Notre Dame University, where she taught law, and she signed a newspaper ad opposing \"abortion on demand\" and defending \"the right to life from fertilization to natural death.\" She promised to set aside her personal views when judging cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, meanwhile, had predicted as a candidate that whoever he named to the court would \"automatically\" vote to overrule Roe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Jessica Gresko, Alanna Durkin Richer in Boston, Emily Wagster Pettus in Jackson, Mississippi and Scott Bauer in Madison, Wisconsin, contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
