Get medical care? are we supposed to suffer the trauma of carrying to term when we know we will deliver a stillborn. if we don t choose someone like beto o rourke, then we don t get to practice medicine the way we want and need to, and the way we need to for our patients. joining us now is beto o rourke, democratic nominee for governor in texas. what did you learn at that clinic today about what this means in texas from this day forward? this is a life or death issue for the women of texas. the last person to speak. leslie, and african american woman in houston, reminded us that texas leads much of the developed world in the rate of maternal mortality, because as you have foreclosed every opportunity for an abortion, you have also closed off access to a cervical cancer screening, a family planning provider with the ability to see any kind of dr. at all in the least ensured state in america. for black women it s three times as deadly to be in the state of texas. a total abortion b ....
