Abortion IS healthcare.
NEW:
In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.

Side note on Saskatchewan hospitals… Shovels are in the ground for the Coopertown area. At full build out, it will be bigger than Moose Jaw. You know what Moose Jaw has? Its own hospital.
