She was still campaigning when she said this, and she was the underdog in an historically anti-choice State. I don't like it, but maybe it was just some politicking on her part. We'll see.

    I got laughed at when I said that being a politician is unenviable job and I don't necessarily begrudge politicians. It's because most people never have to be policymakers who have to juggle the interest of various stakeholders. It's so easy to criticise someone for being mum on abortion (pun unintended) but Hinojosa still has to appease the mostly religiously, conservative Texans.
