“Pregnant women in South and Latin America who contract Zika, a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne virus linked to severe birth defects and deformities in babies, should not have access to abortion, Republican House leaders said Wednesday.
"This push for more abortion access is heartbreaking, especially since there are different degrees of microcephaly," Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, said at a hearing about the virus.
Microcephaly is a condition strongly linked to the Zika virus that causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads and brains that aren't fully developed, which can lead to developmental problems, including seizures, cognitive delays, motor problems and hearing loss.”
