If you’re a reporter interviewing a lawmaker supporting total abortion bans without exceptions, there’s a whole host of non-abortion follow up questions that should be asked. A few examples:
If you’re supporting forcing rape victims to give birth, do you support terminating rapists’ parental rights? Would you support giving a child rapist access to yet another child? Are you sponsoring legislation to that effect?
Would you support universal child care? If not, who is going to care for this baby whose mother can’t care for it because 1. She is too young to get a job and 2. Must attend elementary school?
How much funding did you vote should go toward CPS in their last budget?
How much additional funding do you believe WIC should receive to care for these additional babies? Did you vote for the Medicaid expansion?
