    She’s trying to do damage control and this is the best she can come up with? Don’t fall for her bullshit because the psychos in Arizona want to do the same types of things that Texas has done: put a bounty on anyone who helps someone get an abortion and criminalize driving on interstate highways if abortion is involved. They should have left banning abortion as the ultimate carrot on the stick for their sick constituents, because reality is going to kick their asses this November.

    It’s hard to figure out their position on abortion when it keeps changing.

    Women needing an abortion to save their life should not have to travel further than the nearest hospital.

      Many insurance companies won’t cover out of state abortions, regardless of necessity.

    If traveling is an option for these people why ban it at all? Oh right, because only privileged people should have the ability to get healthcare. The poors are slaves and get what their masters give them, right Lake?

      Well, the idea of sex without lifelong consequences should be reserved for the betters.
