"Six weeks pregnant means two weeks late for your period, and two weeks late on your period for any person, any person with a menstrual cycle can happen if you are stressed, if your diet changes, or for really no reason at all. So, you don't have six weeks," the congresswoman told Anderson Cooper.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg came out of the gate with her frustration over male elected officials writing laws when they have no idea what they're talking about.

(43,049 posts)a long time volunteer for Planned Parenthood, but left when they got more involved in abortion. It was never her business what you did, but what she did was done from her principles.
She never explained what her problem was with abortion, but it may have had a lot to do with having a miscarriage and her upbringing during the Depression. Throw in what we may call "maternal instinct" and it all becomes a powerful pro birth bias. Religion had very little to do with it.
