Jon Kyl earned a law degree from the University of Arizona’s James E Rogers College of Law. A second generation politician, Kyl was a lobbyist before being elected to the house in 1986.

Twenty two years ago, while Pam was pregnant, she contracted amoebic dysentery. The prescribed medicines threatened her unborn fetus and doctors advised her to abort the fetus. Pam ignored the doctors advice and gave birth to the future Heisman trophy winner.

What are we to conclude?
