    SAME. When I woke up from surgery MD's told me I was lucky 2 be alive, I'd been MINUTES from crashing. Inside an hour I went from carefree 23 yr old to dying in ER. Was on the pill, didn't even know I was pregnant. 30+ yrs later I'm still not over it. Ectopic rupture is a horror.

    A post-partum hemorrhage has NOTHING whatsoever to do with miscarriage or abortion care. She's talking about a totally unrelated medical issue that occurs AFTER delivering a baby. Abortion bans are killing women, that's beyond dispute.

    Yes, because it's blatantly unconstitutional. Don't like birthright citizenship? Support an amendment to the Constitution and get it passed. There's a process for that. Use it. If you're ok with a president singlehandedly and unilaterally changing the Constitution, buckle the

    Didn't "lord & savior" Jesus Christ repeatedly & consistently command @SenJoniErnst & other Christians to feed, clothe, & shelter the poorest among us? Weird that she's bringing Jesus up; she clearly doesn't follow him

    What's horrible is that access to comprehensive sex ed, low/no-cost repro health/birth control & unfettered abortion access prior to 20 wks (a.k.a. the Roe standard) wasn't available to these folks. Totally different outcome had they been. There'll be a lot more of these cases.

    Amidst rising poverty, skyrocketing maternal & infant mortality, & a threadbare social safety net in MO, you insist that... A minor is physically, emotionally, & financially mature enough to bear an unwanted pregnancy, endure labor & delivery, & then raise a child...while

    My deployed hubs had a fed agency problem, so I called @SenOssoff. His team responded in 45 min. They fixed the issue & @ossoff called me PERSONALLY to follow up. Absolute legend. We didn't call @ReverendWarnock bc we want him 100% focused on winning in Nov! #VoteBlue #GApol

    Anyone frustrated by this needs to check themselves & their emotions. First, taxpayers spend PENNIES to fund programs that feed the poor. The majority of EBT benefits go to the elderly, disabled, & children. We should be proud to feed those folks. Hell, they shouldn't require

    Anyone who'd ask for anything remotely like this after just 5 months of dating has a screw loose. DUMP Tbh you probably shouldn't be confiding in a boyfriend of 5 months about any newfound largesse either. I sure as shit wouldn't. Say less.

    Respect. I married a staunch conservative career military man (now vet) who feels precisely the same as you do. Hearing the same from many of our conservative coworkers, friends, & neighbors. As an independent I abandoned GOP long ago. Trump & Republicans talk a big patriotic
