Wendy Long, who’s running against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for the U.S. Senate. And by nobody, she means the one million women who had an abortion in the U.S. last year. (via kathiek)

That is not the point she was making.  The remainder of this sentence makes that clear.

(via gaypher)

She continues: “…because the states are legislating their own laws about abortion, completely independent.” While this isn’t quite as damning as the decontextualized excerpt, she’s just flat wrong - a number of states have implemented so-called trigger laws that would immediately criminalize abortion if Roe were overturned. Many more have unenforced statutes criminalizing abortion that are lying dormant because their enforcement would be unconstitutional. Roe matters.
