That tells me that in states with bans, where mothers die at a rate three times greater than in states without bansite, you're okay with that? It also tells me that In states like Texas, where they have a major abortion ban, infants die, babies die at a rate 12% higher than in states without bans. You're okay with that? If you're so passionate about this, why don't you run for state assembly like you did once before? I am going to. It is within the state's hands. (33:36–33:50)
