Republicans break with another historical ally: doctors

Driving the news:

Several GOP doctors voiced frustrations with the American Medical Association in interviews with Axios, frequently citing the organization's positions on issues like abortion and gender-affirming care."[W]hen they told us their priorities, they aligned with our priorities. But it's like, it doesn't look like those are your priorities. What looks like your priorities are abortion and transgender issues," said Rep. Brad Wenstrup , one of the co-chairs of the caucus.

Republicans Are Only Getting Sneakier With Their Antiabortion ProposalsThis year alone, legislators have proposed more than 105 bills that would restrict abortion, and many more proposals—from weakening governors’ roles to making it harder to pass ballot measures—that one abortion advocate says are intended “to really rig the game” against ensuring reproductive rights.
