Summary
The Left loves to argue that abortion is "healthcare," and in turn claims that the pro-life movement is denying healthcare to women when aiming eliminate abortion access. How are we supposed to trust science-deniers that believe there is no life in the womb on who gets access to "healthcare" and who doesn't? The kind of world that the Left wants us to live in is one with a cookie cutter healthcare system that has no regard for individual health concerns and includes giving women access to end the life of their own child and labeling it as "healthcare" or maybe worse, "empowerment." Listen this week as Kristan Hawkins chats with healthcare expert, Doug Badger, about why a "healthcare for all" system is not beneficial for saving babies.
