I’m the same age as Candy. I have two children, and now have health issues that would make any future pregnancies possible deadly (genetic, hypertension and heart condition). I can relate to her and my heart is breaking for her and her kids.

*"Abortion exceptions are a Lie."*

I have never seen this simple fact stated so plainly, and so starkly. Lawrence, you should say this on every broadcast.

[ka]

No one HAS TO idolize the man and repeat his lies, hate, division, and disposing of our 250yr freedoms. PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST & doing the right thing will never be the wrong thing. We will come together, preserve democracy, have freedom, hope, and integrity.

[smudgeykenobey]

Wake Up Republican women. This can happen to you and your daughters. Swifties, this could be your future. Undecideds, let this make up your mind. I’m past childbearing age. But I’ll be voting for you. I’ll be voting for Harris.

Thank you Lawrence SO much for bringing the reality of abortion as healthcare!!!

[robinhoward]

Wishing you the very best of luck Rep.Allred! 💙VOTE BLUE TEXAS💙

[jackiechristian-disy]

I fervently believe that in every No abortion state, like TN my state. they need to ban treatment for testicular cancer in men and show them what withholding healthcare for women is like!

VOTE BLUE
💙🇺🇸💙 💙🇺🇸💙 💙🇺🇸💙

[nickgarcia]

Losing your future baby is difficult enough to deal with with proper medical care. We should not be also losing mothers and wives at the same time just so some dusty old men who are neck deep in their own crimes can feel righteous. This isn't about the life of anyone, it isn't even about religion or some misplaced idealogy. It is about one thing, the control over a population, the power it provides to those responsible and the division of a nation all so it will serve to the benefit of those greedy, selfish self obsessed fear mongers. They don't speak on freedom, ever. They only speak on their enemies, their grievances and their resulting threats to those who disapprove. That's not us America. Vote blue 💙 because we are now torturing and losing the women who we love.

[CGMaat]

We want freedom from want freedom from fear freedom to love freedom to read books right to our wombs freedom to vote - and GREAT FREEDOM AND RIGHT TO HAVE JUSTICE- SUPREME COURT!

[bglvaupel]

How about the fathers and their respisibilities?

[melinavl]

Lawrence O'Donnell is a treasure for America. His exposées should be required viewing for every legislature in the country.

[joannebottcher]

I have been asking myself about these exceptions. Very dangerous

[jandrews]

25% of pregnancies end in a perfectly normal miscarriage, the treatment for which - to save the life of the mother - is a dilation and curettage (D&C) so that she doesn’t become septic and die.
I had a D&C at the age of 70 due to a thickened endometrium which was questionable. Would I have been permitted the procedure, even though it was very obviously not an abortion? Would the procedure or the instruments and expertise to use them even be available, once the gynaecologists and obstetricians had vacated those areas that no longer respect them to carry out their specialty?
Where will the conservative wives go for their treatments, Why, they just go to a state where they can be taken care of. Where will the mistresses go for their abortions? They’ll just be tidied up by stealth

[jandrews]

Do the anti abortionists understand that their actions and support of the terminating of RvW is creating a generation of women and the men who love them, that will view pregnancy as too dangerous to risk?

[saigejones]

And we are still wait for these Republicans to do the right thing?

[niclewis]

Cruel and ineffective sums up Republican policy positions.

[lrtucci]

Actually...since the women already miscarried - they were no longer pregnant. And so any D&C to help them would be to safeguard the health / life of the patient -- and therefore could not by law be prosecuted. Maybe there will be a courageous doctor willing to take on this law by arguing this point.

[garyjensen]

Perhaps doctors should begin leaving Georgia altogether. In fact, maybe folks should start leaving Georgia.
Heck, maybe federal money should be withheld from the state.
