Friends,
In 1864, medical professionals didn't know about infections. They used ether or chloroform for anesthesia and treated wounds with amputation. It was 20 years before they mistook cocaine as a painkiller.
In 1864, women couldn't vote. They had just received legal control over their wages, which, if they worked, were half of a man's.
There are laws from centuries ago that make sense, e.g., our constitution, but we should not be taking reproductive healthcare cues from the Civil War.
Now, after the defeat of Roe v. Wade, Arizona's draconian law will be back on the books, which will implement a total ban on abortion across the state.
The GOP is taking America backwards by 160 years.
Only 6% of Arizonans said abortion should be illegal in all cases. This law specifies all cases unless to save the life of the woman. Without federal protection of women's rights, this is how states will trample on choice.
My opponent, Rep. Jack Bergman, supports this oppression. I do not. It's time to rally together and fight draconian policy.
Friends, thank you for contributing to that cause.
Onward,
Dr. Bob
