During an interview, Rep. Cori Bush argued that decisions about abortion and a person’s own body should be made by the pregnant individual, not politicians, especially not “white men in red states.”
When asked about lawmakers who say two wrongs don’t make a right on the issue of states with no abortion exceptions, Bush responded that it is up to the pregnant person to decide what to do with their own body and that others, particularly white men in red states, should not dictate choices to women and pregnant people nationwide.
Kaitlan Collins asked, “What do you make of that, when we hear from some lawmakers, like Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), who say, on the idea of some states that don’t have any exceptions, ‘[T]wo wrongs don’t make a right.’ And the question is ‘not whether a woman should be forced to bring a child to term, it’s whether a child should be allowed to live,’ because there are Americans who share that view?”
Bush said, “It is up to the person, that pregnant person, to make the decision about what they want to do with their own body. When the child is born, no one is going, killing a child after it is born.”
“That does not happen, it is up to that person. And, at the end of the day, there should not be — especially in so many of these states — there should not be white men in red states telling people across this country, telling women and pregnant folks across this country what we can do with our own bodies,” she said.
