Huckabee Sanders Touts Crisis Pregnancy Centers When Asked About Infant Mortality Rate
Love the fetus, hate the child. The Republican Governor of Arkansas’ response when asked about the dismal infant mortality rate in her state was to tout these sham "crisis pregnancy centers" which masquerade as health clinics and lie to women to try to keep them from having abortions.
Sanders made an appearance on this Sunday's Face the Nation, and good for Margaret Brennan for bringing up the topic in regard to the right wanting to pretend they're "pro-life," but the lack of follow up when Sanders brought up the crisis pregnancy centers was abysmal.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So your state – you're talking about the sanctity of life. Your state had one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country according to the CDC, up until about 2021. Arkansas is one of the few states that hasn't extended postpartum care for mothers. Why don't you want those moms to get care for a full 12 months, as is being offered, instead of just 60 days?
