The new legislative session starts in January but our work has already begun. #HopefulDefiance “The most important part that people should know about this bill is it's a total abortion ban with no exceptions. ... So, there is no exception for rape. There is no exception for incest. There is no exception for the health of the pregnant person. So truly, they are looking at a total abortion ban.” https://lnkd.in/eSaD3Gcm
