In the year prior to Roe v. Wade, 1972, the total maternal deaths in the United States--total maternal deaths from all causes--was 612.

What Donald Trump is doing right now is affirming is affirming one thing, and that is that he believes he's not going to be president on January 20th.
Republicans have to start paying attention. This is a red wave year. The polls are not showing it right now.
We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there`s nothing here. I mean, yes, we have Native Americans but if but candidly that -- there isn`t much Native American culture in American culture. It was born of the people who came here.
I mean, it's pretty clear to everybody that the President is not going to win this election and that nothing is going to happen on January 6th to overturn it.
