to legalize abortion for if the mother's health was at risk or if the pregnancy was the result of a criminal act.

"Doctors and providers are really scared to help women in need, and this means that even women who are experiencing a miscarriage or women who are discovering that they are pregnant and want prenatal care, they are denied proper, decent care," Donadio said.
