At its core, she shouldn't have to "defend" anything about the nude images. Her body her choice is, IMHO, about more than just women's health care.

HB-1 violation: go for it.
Being a 2-faced sugar daddy chasing reichwinger: go for it.
What she did to the Rose Garden: definitely go for it.

But, again IMHO, if she decided to do nude modeling work, I say her choice. I don't agree with the choice but it's not up to me.

To steal paraphrase: If you don't like nude images...don't be in nude images.
