I'm a career prosecutor. I have been trained, and my experience over decades, is to make decisions after a review of the evidence and the facts. And not to jump up with grand gestures before I've done that. Some might interpret that as being cautious. I would tell you that's just responsible.
I do not believe that government should be in the business of telling women what they should do with their bodies.
Racism is real in this country.
I'll be judged on the body of work and not the popularity of any one decision.
