'Don’t forget we are the largest voting body in this country. Let’s make it look more like us.”
On a night that mostly steered clear of politics, Michelle Williams used her speech at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles to advocate against restrictive abortion laws.
‘We live in a country founded on the principle that I am free to live by my faith, and you are free to live by yours.’ —Michelle Williams “So women, 18 to 118, when it is time to vote, please do so in your own self-interest,” she added. “It’s what men have been doing for years, which is why the world looks so much like them, but don’t forget we are the largest voting body in this country. Let’s make it look more like us.
Trump has also criticized bills in Virginia and New York that would make it legal for women to terminate nonviable pregnancies after 24 weeks. ‘I am strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions — Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother.’ —President Trump tweeting in May 2019 Some states have also imposed regulations on clinics and people who provide abortions, including specifications dictating the size of an abortion-procedure room or a facility’s distance from a hospital, and requirements for an abortion provider’s certifications or hospital affiliations.
Some states require abortion seekers to wait a minimum time period between in-person counseling and their procedure. Republican lawmakers say they oppose “taxpayer-funded abortion,” and anti-abortion groups say the unborn have a right to life, believe life begins at fertilization and object to abortion on moral and religious grounds.
