"#Texas saw an estimated 26,313 rape-related pregnancies during the 16 months after the state outlawed all #abortions, with no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest, according to a study...
That’s the highest estimate among the 14 states with total abortion bans, with Texas having the largest population" H/t: LOLGOP
Welker essentially just conceded his claim that “after birth” abortions exist and are legal. They are not “exceedingly rare”—they are not a thing. Call this talking point out as the absurd, nonsensical propaganda it is or don’t do the interview. This is pathetic and embarrassing
Aaron Rupar:
#Trump lies that "after birth" abortions are a thing. Welker responds by pointing out that #abortions "later in pregnancy are extremely rare."
#SCOTUS is hearing arguments on whether hospitals must provide emergency #abortions in states w bans.
At issue is a nearly 40-yr-old fed law that requires hospitals that receive fed funds to stabilize or transfer all emergency patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Biden admin invoked the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act to argue that the federal government has the power to penalize hospitals that fail to provide emergency abortions even in states with strict bans.
“#Iowa’s state legislature voted on Tuesday night to ban most #abortions after around six weeks of pregnancy, a time before most people know they are pregnant.
“Democrats in the #Arizona Legislature made a final push Wednesday to repeal the state’s long-dormant ban on nearly all #abortions, which a court said can be enforced...Senate had the 16 votes it needed to advance the bill.
14 Dems in Senate were joined by two GOP votes in favor of repealing the bill, which narrowly cleared the Arizona House last week and is expected to be signed by Dem Gov. Katie Hobbs” https://apnews.com/article/24578e546b69ca087e01034bcaf4aa01
Yet they’re voting for pro-forced birth candidates

According to NBC News Exit Poll results, 67% of New Hampshire Republican primary voters said they would oppose a federal law banning most or all #abortions nationwide. Just 27% said they would favor such a ban.
Make it make sense. On one hand, when it comes to medications that chemically induce early term #abortions, we are not supposed to take them because the #FDA didn't test them enough. But on the other hand, we have this. We cannot bar doctors for prescribing #ivermectin for COVID because it was never tested on that virus at all.
👉🏼The #Arizona House voted Wednesday to repeal a Civil War-era ban on nearly all #abortions that is set to take effect as early as June 8. The measure now heads to the state Senate, which could grant final passage next week. https://wapo.st/3xRELds
