Republicans in Congress are now considering a nationwide abortion ban. This was reported by NBC News after the leaked draft SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe v. Wade:
Republicans have always claimed they simply wanted to give states the power to make it’s own laws about abortion. But this was never really about returning power to states. It’s all about control over our bodies.
Republicans across the country have passed extreme abortion restrictions at the state level. Even more states will immediately see abortion access restricted and criminalized if SCOTUS issues a final opinion overturning Roe. Now, the Senate GOP is discussing ways to legislate a complete abortion ban if they gain the majority.
At a time when we should be expanding support and protections for working families, Republicans are just trying to control and criminalize us. It’s outrageous and disgraceful.
Thank you for sticking by me in this fight.
In solidarity,
