  Arizona’s anti-abortion laws impact women across the Grand Canyon State, and a Democratic state senator spoke out about how those laws have hurt her as she seeks to end an unviable pregnancy, urging GOP lawmakers to consider the harm caused by the restrictive laws they support.

This comment sounds like a threat to impregnate senators

The GOP are selfish people. They won't understand why a program or right is needed until it affects them. I have this argument with my in-laws often.

Me: We need (insert Student debt relief, Universal Healcare, ect). This would help millions of Americans.

In-laws: Why should I pay for (insert topic above). I didn't need it.
