The minute that you begin to set limitations and restrictions on womens healthcare is when America no longer becomes the land of the free. While trying to get rid of rape entirely is a very good and progressive goal to have however saying that a woman should have to go through the pregnancy is insanity. A woman should be allowed to do what she wants with her body and not be judged.

Informed Social Issues Informed Abortion

I am not saying that a woman should absolutely have to go through a pregnancy, I said that if a woman is a victim of rape or incest, or if there is a risk of danger to the mother or a child, I believe that that woman should be allowed to get an abortion. I only said that I believe in restricting abortions for women who are not at risk of danger or whose fetuses are not at risk of danger and who consensually had sex. The freedom of deciding whether or not to have a child should come in the form of deciding to have sex and abstaining if necessary, not getting an abortion once the fetus has already started developing. A woman should be allowed to do what she wants with her body, but not to the extent that she can kill her fetus who has already started developing.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
