    “It’s a little personal when a majority male state Supreme Court suggests that people like me who became pregnant with the help of modern medicine should be in jail cells and not nurseries," said bill author Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), the mother of two daughters conceived through IVF.

    “[Hyde-Smith] said at one point the bill would allow for chimeras — human-animal hybrids — it does nothing of the sort,” Duckworth said. “All the bill says, is if you want to seek reproductive technology you can, if you want to provide it you can, and if you want to cover it as an insurance company you can.”

    Fuck, I wish she was running for president…

      Senator Duckworth lost her legs when a helicopter she was piloting had an accident. They loaded her up on a medivac, which started taking fire. She returned fire. True warrior.

          Where the hell was she coptering that the medivac would take fire?

          Iraq

          Was she deployed military or something?

          Army

          And then why the hell was the patient being transported even in a position where they could return fire and not strapped the fuck down to prevent her from bleeding out?

          According to action reports, she grabbed a rifle and returned fire as the medivac took off.
