There's a woman in America who ran for office. She's married, has a kid, but lost her second baby.
The abortion laws were insane. They caused problems.
When she spoke to her Republican politician in her district, he kept explaining to her that it didn't make sense to him that she didn't have a viable baby, literally because she already had a baby.
This was biology as he and his stupid family knew it.
#alliephillips is amazing.
People can be so dumb.
Molly Hennessy-Fiske: An #abortion ban turned a grieving Allie Phillips into a candidate
"Phillips had been overjoyed by the prospect of another little girl. Then, at about 19 weeks, a routine ultrasound revealed devastating problems: Amniotic fluid supporting the fetus had drained; its lungs, heart, brain and other organs were not developing.
Continuing the pregnancy would endanger Phillips, her doctor warned. But Tennessee’s near-total ban on abortion — signed into law some six months earlier — meant she would have to go out of state for the procedure. …
Her loss not only turned the petite 28-year-old into a first-time candidate … but into a committed activist, too. She is one of three dozen plaintiffs in state and federal lawsuits filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights against abortion bans in #Tennessee, #Texas, #Oklahoma and #Idaho, among the most restrictive statutes in the country."
« #AlliePhillips, a #Clarksville woman whose story of #pregnancy loss under #Tennessee's #AbortionBan drew national attention, is running for the Tennessee #HouseOfRepresentatives.
Phillips on Monday announced her candidacy as a #Democrat for House District 75, represented by #Republican freshman Rep. #JeffBurkhart.»
