issue of making your own decisions about pregnancy. that doesn t mean that people might not make different decisions. it means the government shouldn t be telling people what to do about pregnancy. look at the case in texas. literally now it is virtually impossible to get access to a safe and legal abortion. so the state is now taking that decision making ability away from every single person. and most americans understand that you can make abortion illegal, but that doesn t mean there isn t abortion. it simply means it s unsafe and illegal. when roe was passed and you still here from doctors. some one wrote recently in the washington post. before abortion was legal, women had abortions, but young women routinely died. young, healthy women in emergency rooms across this country. and we can never go back to that place again. texas is a state you know well. for folks who don t know, your mother was the governor there.
