big deadline coming up

Too much is at stake to slow down now. John, This week, the Senate GOP introduced a bill to ban abortion after 15 weeks nationwide, promising it will get a vote if Republicans take back the Congress. And if the GOP gets their way, they won’t be stopping with reproductive rights. They are bent o…
