5. She's talking the truth. Bringing children into this world without financially being able

to provide for them, and where they get caught in an uncaring system is irresponsible and inhumane. Our society cannot help people reach their full potential, when it's creating the very obstacles that will accomplish the reverse.

8. Poor women can't even pay the bill for a hospital delivery.

The cost of having a baby in this country is astronomical in comparison to moat other countries with universal healthcare. Even for an uncomplicated birth, the cost can be $5,000 or more. For a woman needing a C-section, it can be $30,000. If insurance covers it, you’ll not be out of too much. But in those states that refused to expand Medicaid, and Texas is one of them, many poor women have no healthcare coverage at all. Who will now foot the bill for their babies being born? Somehow I don’t see the religious hypocrites ponying up.

15. This is not right.

Just the extra angst on women already financially struggling.

28. At first, I thought she was a fourth-grader.

Then, as she spoke, I realized she didn't need a box to stand on to make her true stature clear.

[BobTheSubgenius]

29. She IS fierce!!!

Hearing her passion and sincerity brought a little lump to my throat.

30. this was in Pikeville! That is in the deep mountain part

that juts out into West Virginia. Deep poverty and MAGA voters.

Kentucky women rock!

31. I have an ex-SIL, Jennifer, who had 3 children by 3 fathers

including one of my brothers. She and my brother were drug addicts, and she still is. She did manage to quit using when she was pregnant with my niece. Jennifer also had 13 abortions. As horrifying as that sounds, the only thing that would have been worse is if she had taken those pregnancies to term.

[IzzaNuDay]

32. Send her to DC please!

She needs to tell those cretins and the SCOTUS what is up!

[LymphocyteLover]
