Kelly Clarkson held back tears while talking to Hillary Clinton about Arizona's Supreme Court upholding a 1864 abortion ban.
“I have been pregnant twice, hospitalized both times. I mean, literally I asked God … to just take me and my son in the hospital the second time, because I was like, it's the worst thing,” Clarkson said. “To make someone go through that? … You don't realize how hard it is.”“The fact that you would take that away from someone that can literally kill them. The fact of if they’re raped … by their family member … It's just insane to me.”
“You're speaking for so many. You’re speaking for literally millions of women in our country and around the world,” Clinton told Clarkson in an interview that aired Monday on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
Clinton slammed the “cruelty” of restrictive abortion bans like the Civil war-era, near-total abortion ban that the Arizona Supreme Court upheld last week.
“There's a kind of cruelty to it,” Clinton remarked. “I mean, no exceptions for rape, incest. I mean, really? I mean, what kind of world is that?”
“The old law in Arizona is without exceptions,” Clinton commented earlier. “The man who wrote that law was married, I think four times and one of his wives was 12, two of his wives were 15.”
“I'm glad we're getting advice from an upstanding citizen of the community,” Clarkson replied.
