and this from julie in pflugerville, texas. from joy in fort worth. from martha, in luling, texas. from ellen. from harold. from jane. from myrtle. in 1944, when i was 10 years old, i almost lost my mother from a botched abortion. i had an abortion when i was 23. i was unemployed and suffering from health problems. i had to borrow money for the abortion, but i was fortunate enough to live close to a clinic. i had an abortion in houston a few years ago, when my birth control failed due to antibiotics given after a surgery for cervical cancer. one in three women in our country have had, or will have an abortion, and that's not a choice made due to inconvenience or a simplistic disregard of human life. quite the opposite. i'm perplexed about why you're wasting time on these bills that are not pro-life at all, but only designed to prevent women from getting needed healthcare. i see no legislation providing easy access to birth control to reduce the need for abortion. i see no legislation to provide for childcare, a living minimum wage, or family leave. i am opposed as a social worker,

the only people capable of doing it would be texas. what is texas getting? nothing from the federal government. tucker: people would send you money. if you started up a voluntary fund, people would send you money and probably put you in their wills. if you took control and closed the border, which you can do, you'd be a folk hero sung about by future generations around the cayman fire. once again, texas takes a stand against the invasion. >> you can terrific, let me tell you we've done -- tucker, let me tell you we've done that. i want you and your audience to know that today we begin putting up more border wall. texas is the only state to build our own border wall. we start add fund called borderwall.tx -- i can't remember the rest of it. we'll get it up for you. we have a fund that people have given money to for texas to continue building the border wall in addition to the billions of dollars -- understand this, tucker, the state of texas is coming out of our pocket to the tune of $4 billion to secure the border. not the federal government's money. tucker:
