I've worked with Marco Rubio to deal with the issue of maternal mortality. There are way too many women dying in the United States of America just trying to bring a baby into the world. Among wealthy nations, women, we have the dubious distinction of outstripping everybody [in maternal mortality]. And for black women, it's three to four times the rate of their white sisters. And so I said to Marco Rubio, if you're pro life, how about let's save the lives of these women who are trying to bring babies into the world? (03:39–03:45)
