While debating Assembly Bill 975, legislation that would introduce a 14-week abortion ban referendum if passed, Wisconsin state Rep. Joel Kitchens (R-Sturgeon Bay) said he knows that abortion is not health care because he was a veterinarian.
10 years ago my daughter had an ectopic pregnancy. Without an “abortion” (I wish we would stop calling it that), she would have died. Without “health care”, she would be dead.
Now I have a daughter, and a granddaughter that’s almost 2. Republicans wish they were both dead. When I see and read about things like this, I understand intuitively that these people wish my daughter was dead, and my granddaughter never existed. It’s unfathomable to me, but that’s what these people wish upon my family.

And part of me is no better than they are.
