Clare Harney, an OB/GYN doctor who has a practice in Bettendorf and Davenport, had an interesting line during Tuesday night’s public hearing on House Joint Resolution 2004.
“We know that most women who have abortions in the U.S. are already moms,” she said. “We know that making abortion illegal or difficult to get, doesn’t decrease the number of abortions. It doesn’t save any unborn children.”
She went on to say mothers who believe abortion is necessary are desperate, determined and brave.
