Meghan-
Hope all is well. Sure, actually it’s been written about several times lately. Also did you happen to see her spokesperson’s response that also shows this change as well:
“She has undergone a process of thought and contemplation and review of all the data and is convinced that abortion is now being used as a form of birth control and is appalled by that. After a lot of thought, she is firmly against abortion except when the life of mother is at risk or in cases of rape or incest.”

Let me know if you need anything else. Take Care

Todd Staples to Comptroller Susan Combs
Hi, Cody. In this letter to Susan Combs,
Todd Staples says her "pro-choice position is well documented"
in news reports. Can you send us the articles that support that
claim?
Also, the letter later says that a Combs spokesperson has
recently made "statements completely contrary to" her "past
posture defending Roe vs. Wade" and her "known pro-choice
position." Can you point us toward those statements?
Thanks.
Meghan
