A personal perspective from katiehobbs, Arizona's secretary of state and candidate for governor.
I’m mad as hell. I am the mother of two beautiful children. But those were not my only pregnancies., I suffered miscarriages. During one of my pregnancies, the doctors told me that for my health they would need to perform a procedure to remove the pregnancy tissue. It’s the same procedure that’s commonly used for abortions, and one that would be at risk with theFrom personal experience, I can say that losing a pregnancy is already hard enough.
Before I was ever a candidate for office, I was a social worker and I helped run one of the largest domestic violence shelters in the country. I saw firsthand the devastating effects that a dangerous, traumatizing, or unplanned pregnancy can have on a woman and her family. I’ve witnessed the vicious cycle that poverty and lack of access to reproductive healthcare create.
Many women I worked with were raped, forced to carry a pregnancy, forced to get an abortion, had their birth control sabotaged by their partner, or had their pregnancy jeopardized by abuse their partner inflicted. These women didn’t have control of their reproductive healthcare decisions, and they suffered physically, mentally, and emotionally.
When I got to the state legislature, I never forgot those women. Every vote I took against cutting reproductive health care funding—and every restriction or ban on women’s freedoms that I opposed—was deeply personal to me because I knew the very real impact these policies would have.The fact that my daughter will be entering adulthood with fewer rights than I had 30 years ago is maddening—but it’s also motivating.
