The Alabama measure is just the latest state bill targeting abortion rights that advocates say is a direct challenge to the 1973decision that made abortion legal in the U.S. Last week, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a so-called heartbeat bill into law that would ban abortions after the point at which a fetal heartbeat can be detected, before most women are know they’re pregnant. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed similar legislation into law last month.
“We need to lift up the voices of women and family across America who see civil rights and human rights being taken away from them, being decided by legislators and who know nothing about their lives, their health and their ability,” she said. “I'm telling you, this is something that is so harmful to women's ability to get basic, safe access to legal abortion. And it's something women may need in their lifetime. And it's something we should actually protect.
Bennet also invoked his three daughters, saying that abortion rights supporters “find ourselves on the front lines of this war once again” and arguing that panic about the Alabama bill showed Democrats needed to place a renewed focus on the judicial branch. “A lawless president has inspired lawless legislatures. Our laws are crystal clear the government cannot come between a woman & her doctor early in a pregnancy,” he said in a tweet. “Yet AL & GA did this anyway, believing laws don’t matter and if pressed, Trump’s justices will protect them. #ProtectRoe”
“Instead, the government's role should be to make sure all women have access to comprehensive affordable care, and that includes safe and legal abortion,” The South Bend, Ind., mayor said in a tweet.Ryan , who has not shied away from addressing his fairly recent evolution on abortion rights, came down firmly in opposition to the Alabama legislation.
“This is irresponsible, dangerous and would make it even more difficult for women to access basic healthcare,” he said in a tweet Wednesday. “As governor, I’ve stopped every attack on a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, and that’s exactly what I’ll do as president.”The Massachusetts congressman derided the bill in an interview on CNN Wednesday, calling the measure "absolutely disgusting" and taking particular offense at the bill's lack of exemptions.
Wrong again. Few issues have disgusted a nation by the Democratic support of late term and full term abortion!
I think this is a miscalculation by the Trump crowd....they've done it to fire up their base...problem is, the pro-choice base is much larger and these anti-abortion laws has REALLY fired them up...
Alabama’s legislation is a throwback to another era when abortions were done in back alleys with coat hangers. Time has marched on but G☠️P seems intent on taking America back in time.
If women unite and show up to vote in the numbers I expect, this election will go down in the history books as one that changed the direction of a nation.
why the Democrats are not pulling so well oh let's see every time they open their mouth there are saying we're going to raise your taxes we're going to tax the rich we're going to take your guns we're going to continue to kill your baby we're going to keep the borders open..lol
Thank God we got the most pro-life all lives matter American president in realDonaldTrump
When our founding fathers wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights they had the states in mine who had the power not the federal government not your body not your choice when there's a heartbeat that's called Murder ,an abortion is not a form of Women's Healthcare...
They've all been tweeting fine to me. I dunno of any scrambling...
The states have the power to do this if you don't like it don't go to that state California and New York will still kill your baby I believe in the Second Amendment that's why I don't go to those States who don't have a good day if you don't like it move with your feet...
You wouldn't think any woman would support this bill (any woman)
Scramble? How about hit hard against this abominable bill.
I don't need to read the article...they will continue to spout the lie that abortion is 'healthcare.' Death is not health. Killing is not caring. How a human soul could support the killing of the innocents is beyond me.
How can the reaction be anything besides it sucks
They’re all in favor of killing babies. It’s no great mystery or anything
