She said that a pregnant woman can raise a child, live with a family member or be put up for adoption. She argued that a hypothetical child could cure cancer. Rape is a difficult issue and it emotionally scars the individual, all or in part, for the rest of their life.

She told Brown that they disagree and that they shouldn't kill the child. The Ohio lawmaker is not the only one who has introduced abortion bans with little to no exceptions.
