As a former GOP lawmaker, let me tell you: Democrats are not the extremists on abortion

In response to Phil Boas’ column, “Meet the extremists: 3 Arizona Democrats make a sharp left turn on abortion”:

You are wrong, Phil.

It is completely ironic that you, as a male, wrote what you did. Your health is not at risk – women’s health is at risk. The unintended consequences of what’s happening in Arizona around the Dobbs decision is dire and you reduced it to a conversation around compromise.

Your assessment on who will or will not compromise is wrong. As a female, former Republican lawmaker, I can tell you that there is zero room in the Republican caucus to have fact-based conversations about anti-abortion legislation.

She claims to have been dedicated to making sure that the "pro-life" legislation pushed by her party had adequate safeguards for the health of women in serious medical situations, but had no luck with that and was eventually primaried out by her own party because she wasn't extreme enough.
