Quote of the Day
“This issue of reproductive freedom is one that resonates with people,” Clark said. “People understand that it’s a new level of government intrusion into their lives. If the government will come in, if JD Vance and Donald Trump come into your exam room and replace your decisions that you make with your family, your doctor in accordance with your faith, that there’s no line of government inclusion [they] won’t cross.”
