And freshman Rep. Julia Letlow reminded colleagues last week that the Supreme Court ruling overturning the right to an abortion means that Republicans should go beyond protecting the unborn by also proposing policies that support women and their families.immediately called for codifying a nationwide ban on abortion
There are 32 women in the House GOP conference, the largest number in history after 11 women flipped Democratic-held seats in 2020. And their ranks are only expected to grow: Almost 300 women filed to run in Republican House primaries, according to the National Republican Congressional Committee, at a time when the election cycle is favorable to Republicans. The GOP only needs to net five seats in the midterms to regain the House majority.
Republicans of wanting to impose a nationwide abortion ban without exceptions, limit access to birth control and possibly risk women’s lives if they cannot abort ectopic pregnancies ― all questions House Republicans may have to address if they regain the majority next year.“I mean, every woman should have access to birth control,” Rep. Nancy Mace said in reaction to hearing Thomas’s concurrence.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy also skirted questions during a news conference last week, noting: “The Supreme Court is a separate branch of government. They take their own positions.” “We’ve been clear on the pro-life, abortion issues for decades. … No current legislation, or anyone in leadership, is for criminalizing miscarriages or banning birth control,” one senior GOP leadership aide said.Several women in the conference have also publicly stated support for antiabortion legislation if it includes exceptions. Earlier this year, Rep.
Wake Up Leftist party supporters! Your rights will be diminished if they take the house too. Just look at the mess the have made in the ls 10+ years!!
And the media treats women’s lives & the imminent destruction of the economy with a flood of babies like it was a game. The GOP has long recruited radical women to give the men cover.
Oh please...
GOP are not going to take control with all the dirty things they have done. I believe that they will be weakened with many loses remember that there are honorable people in both sides that have there feet on the ground. The GOP had there chance and ruined it.
White women racist cruelty.
Stop your nonsense no one in the GOP is protecting woman’s rights!!!! They love the fetus and hate the child.
This ain't 2015. Some of these articles read like the political version of Kyrie fans. Oh this time it'll be different because.....No. it ain't.
Unfortunately, I don't think that it is if. The Dems have squandered this opportunity with crap bills that had no chance of passing and party in-fighting. No actual leadership for the party. Biden was the president we needed, but not the leader we needed.
IKR 👍🏻
A nationwide ban is a direct violation of the first amendment. Not that our current scotus seems to care much about amendments they don’t like.
I admire the ability of Americans to bring social issues to the forefront. This is only possible in the USA! Abortion is more important than war, inflation, economic and political crisis...
It is a state issue now. What don’t you get?
Legislative authority on abortion is a state's right, Congress cannot override the 10th Amendment
If republicans win any election this year then Americans (the ones that vote red) are living eyes wide shut
The Republicans won’t take the House. And the Senate will remain with the Democrats but with a larger majority. Trump, 1/6 and the Supreme Court will be big losers at the voting booth in November.
GOP aren't power hungry like the Democrats. They'll let the states decide abortion. That's a better move given how divisive the topic is.
They don’t think independently!
They are batshit crazy just like their male counterparts
They have the backing. These 32 women are all basically terrible people.
Hey Progressives threatening to sit the next election out...how exactly do you presume the Republicans were able to do what they've done? I'll guarantee pouting, whining, and stomping their feet in a fit of pique ain't it VOTE IN ALL ELECTIONS for candidates that can win!!!!
Once though to be above the fray and hold the public trust... President/VP-WRONG Congress-WRONG The press-WRONG The Supreme Court-WRONG The Military- WRONG The Justice Department-WRONG State Secretaries of State and AGs WRONG-WRONG-WRONG
I am pro life. But I am OK with our government regulating abortions to 12 to 15 weeks, with exceptions nationwide. Now is a good time for the Democrats to compromise.
