This was my first political rally. I don't consider myself to be a political animal. I hate politicals. I didn't go to the rally because of the politics; I went because of the women.

She also has said of abortion that it shows how well a society cares for all of it's citizens. We must now realize that abortion is genocide.
I was a past director of Project Rachel. I worked with women who had abortions. One of the speakers, MaryJo Thayer, said: "that women do go to have abortions as something they look forward to, they do it because they feel trapped." And that is so true.

We must change the thinking from this will ruin their life to, it may delay goals, but life does get better. Being a mom isn't a curse, it's a blessing. You will become more powerful, more you than you could ever know.

It wounds me to the soul when I hear of faith-filled school who have policies of expelling young pregnant students. Where is the compassion in that! Those young girls are looking for help! Compassion!

I stood in there at the capitol thinking of all the women, all the children. Praying for them. Praying for us.
