Tennessee lawmaker: 'I wouldn't be here today' under current abortion ban

As efforts to amend Tennessee's no-exceptions abortion ban continue to get kicked down the road, Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville, told legislative colleagues on Tuesday she could have died without abortion care when she was in her 20s.

Johnson has sponsored a slate of bills aiming to roll back abortion bans in the state, which currently do not allow any legal exceptions, even for doctors who need to perform an abortion to save the life of a pregnant patient.

"I want to tell you a story about a young woman, 21, in college, getting married, finding out she has a syndrome called Marfan syndrome," Johnson said Tuesday in a House subcommittee meeting.

When she became pregnant, Johnson said, she was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm, which doctors warned could rupture before the fetus was viable. Treatment would harm the fetus, she was told.

1. It's time to throw men off the Walgreen's Board of Directors and install pro-abortion women. nt

3. 5 Of The 10 Board Members Are Women

Including the CEO, Rosalind Brewer.
And, an outside board member is Valerie Jarret, of the Obama Foundation.
My guess is this is being driven by corporate legal, and not politics.
If I'm right, I'll call it a cowardly decision, but I don't think men's opinions on abortion are the issue.

4. It is hard for me to blame the pharmicies.

If I could be prosecuted for murder for selling abortion pills, I would not sell abortion pills. It is the immoral lawmakers who are making a backhanded attempt at legislating morality that are to blame. These men, and they are for the most part men, are not a bit different from the Taliban; they just wear nicer clothes.
