We have a territorial law that potentially criminalizes doctors and hospitals for providing this basic health care. It is very uncertain landscape. It is not doing anything for the people who are caught in this. For A woman today in Arizona, she may have to travel 300 miles in order to get this basic healthcare. Doctors don't know what to do. Leaving it to the state is just. It's been chaos, frankly, here in Arizona. And my Republican opponent is anti abortion and just allowing this chaos to exist. (04:04–04:13)
