There's no doubt in my mind that this draconian 1901 law will have dire consequences on the health and well-being of Arizona Superior Court women and their families, this cruel law effectively outlaws abortion in Arizona — with no exceptions for rape or incest — and risks women's fundamental freedom to make their own health care decisions. ... To make matters worse, this law mandates jail time for abortion providers. Medical professionals will now be forced to think twice and call their lawyer before providing patients with oftentimes necessary, lifesaving care.

Chuck Schumer introduced legislation several months ago that would allow abortion on-demand up to the moment of birth, like China and North Korea, for the entire nation, what did I do in response?

It puts us in line with France, which is at 12 weeks. Germany, England is at 14 weeks. Only in Washington is it extreme to protect the baby at 15 weeks from an excruciating death.

As a lifelong Catholic, I have always been pro-life. As a Catholic, I do not support abortion, however, we can not have an outright ban.

No, just like [ Unsworth ] didn't clarify he wanted to sodomize me with a submarine. I didn't think it required clarification, i think that would have been worse.
