BREAKING NEWS: Republicans, led by Lindsey Graham, just introduced a National Abortion Ban, despite repeatedly saying abortion rights and marriage equality should be decided by the states.
Republicans are yet again trying to strip away our rights. In recent weeks, Americans across the country have rallied to show their support for protecting abortion rights, even stopping a restrictive abortion law in Kansas that we slated to pass.

Just weeks after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Ohio’s Republican-held state legislature moved to restrict abortion rights, but 21 states foiled the GOP’s anti-abortion agenda by passing abortion rights protections. Now, national Republicans are trying to change the narrative and completely disregard the states’ choices that they claim to hold so dear by proposing this national abortion ban.
