What would you do if the legislature were to keep current abortion rules in place/What would you do if the legislature were to pass a heartbeat bill?
From Bray’s website:
Women can terminate a pregnancy up until the 16th week.
After 16 weeks, in cases of rape or incest, a woman can terminate up until the date of fetal viability outside the womb (currently 24 weeks; likely earlier in future with improved technology).
Women can also terminate due to fetal abnormalities that can cause lifelong medical intervention up until the 24th week.
3rd Trimester abortions will be outlawed with the exceptions of danger to the life of the mother, stillbirth, and if the baby is unlikely to survive after birth due to malformations.

What steps would you take to improve access to mental health services and to address the opioid overdose crisis?
