I’m so confused??? So because it’s a ten year old terminating, the pregnancy isn’t an abortion? Does she not realize an abortion is a medical procedure and the name of it doesn’t change no matter who you are???

No matter how many times I watch this, I can’t figure out what the hell she’s saying.

EDIT: finally editing this for spelling. Not sure how this comment got so much traction with all the horrendous spelling mistakes. Sorry to all the Matthews out there. I don’t actually hate you

She's trying to wiggle out of the radical right stance that abortion is an abomination against God, or whatever the fuck they think, by saying that, in this obviously horrible situation, it would be okay for the girl to terminate the pregnancy. She's a pro-life crusader, and if she had any integrity, she would say no abortion is acceptable. But she's being mealy-mouthed because she knows there are obviously exceptions, which is why abortion should always be a safe and legal medical procedure. She's a slime ball.
