(CNN)A member of the Alaska House of Representatives was censured on Wednesday for comments he made implying some Alaskan women get abortions for free travel.
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 there's 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.
