To: The United States House of Representatives
Rep. Joe Walsh should be disciplined
For his blatantly false and ignorant comment regarding pregnancy and the health of the mother, Representative Walsh should be disciplined by the House and be removed from the subcommittee on Health Care and Techology.
Why is this important?
Rep Walsh made the moronic statement recently that in no case can a pregnancy harm the mother, and the idea that an abortion may be needed to save the mother's life is just an excuse to have an abortion. His ignorance of medicine should be sufficient to remove him from the Subcommittee on Healthcare and Technology (of the committee on Small Business) in the House. As a mother and grandmother, I fear that such nonsense could harm the reproductive freedom women enjoy today.
