to bear as many infants as she happens to get pregnant with. If she miscarries any of them or if anything otherwise goes wrong with a pregnancy, her docs will hesitate to save her life.
Yeah, pro-life.

(106,211 posts)Rep. David Eastman, a Republican from Wasilla, told Alaska Public Media that some women take advantage of Medicaid-funded travel for medically necessary abortions.
You have individuals who are in villages and are glad to be pregnant, so that they can have an abortion because theres a free trip to Anchorage involved, Eastman told the outlet, which published the comments on May 3. Eastman also made a similar statement to The Associated Press.
The comments were in reference to a sexual assault and child abuse awareness bill that Eastman successfully amended to include a line about abortion, calling it the ultimate form of child abuse.

(18,318 posts)Seems like someone to keep tabs on. Hes seriously devoid of compassion, empathy, and apparently capable of wishing children dead to save a few bucks.
Plus how does he know these kids are a burden to the government?
Republicans are heartless grunts.
