She was a "pro-life" Republican.

When she needed an abortion in her home state of Texas because of medical dangers, she could not get one. She had to flee to New Mexico.

Now she supports abortion rights.

3. True, but they've also been told many lies about abortion

Until something like this happens they have no understanding of abortion being a health & life saving proceedure. They've been sold a melodrama about all the aborted "children" living in heaven. They are uneducated on the realities.

Reality is hard.

5. I'm glad that she continued to care about it...

... afterwards though. Too many of folks like this become pro-choice only long enough to make their own choice.

2. And there's always the chance that the relative who lent them thousands of dollars

to leave Texas to get an abortion in New Mexico can turn them in and get $10,000 bounty if it isn't paid back.

Texas sucks. Vote for Beto.

6. And the legislators who passed the law don't want to discuss the consequences--

forced vasectomies all around for them.
