What that means is that in states like Arkansas and Idaho, where there are no exceptions for rape or incest, that tells me that you're okay with that. 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. (33:24–33:34)
