U.S. Senator Katie Britt delivered a speech on the Senate floor ahead of Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s partisan vote on Democrats’ “Right to Contraception Act” scheduled for Wednesday. Over the weekend in announcing the vote, Schumer wrote “Democrats will be putting reproductive freedoms front and center.”
Britt coined Democrats’ overarching rhetoric on the issue as part of a “Summer of Scare Tactics” narrative that fearmongers a purely political exercise aimed at confusing and misleading voters ahead of November.
“This week, my colleagues across the aisle will start their ‘Summer of Scare Tactics.’ Unfortunately, this is continuing the campaign of fearmongering we’ve already seen. Contraception is available in every state across the nation,” Sen. Britt said.
