π§΅π»π―πΉπ¬π¨π«: The Supreme Court lit 49 years of precedent on fire, creating the nightmare reality the Republican Party has worked so damn hard for.
Let's take a look at where we are and where the GOP will drag our country, kicking & screaming, if given more of an opportunity.
At least 28 @NRCC-endorsed GOP challengers supported overturning #RoeVWade.
At least three vulnerable House Republicans & three @NRCC-endorsed challengers support πππππππ ππππ‘πππ π€βπ πππππππ πππππ‘ππππ (including @BlackmanForAZ in #AZ02 who also π π’πππππ‘π πππππππ π€ππππ π€βπ πππ‘ πππππ‘ππππ ).
At least four vulnerable House Republicans and ππ @NRCC-ππππ€ππ ππ‘ππ₯π₯ππ§π ππ«π¬ support banning abortions without exceptions for rape or incest.
Now, letβs dive into some specific candidates.
Starting with @NRCC-endorsed @TimReichertCO in #CO07, who claimed abortion was a βhuman sacrificeβ to demons and that birth control caused rape.
In #CO08: @LoriSaine introduced a bill to ban abortions without exceptions for rape and incest, said that abortion clinics were like Auschwitz, spread misinformation about IUDs, and cheered the overturning of #RoeVWade.
In #MI07: Tom Barrett (@barrettbrigade1) said he was β100% pro-life β no exceptionsβ and sponsored an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest that would put doctors in prison.
In #MI10: @JohnJamesMI supported overturning #RoeVWade, compared abortion to βgenocide,β and described himself as β100% pro-life,β even in cases of rape or incest and would not clarify if that included the life of the mother.
In #NE02: @DonJBacon supported banning abortion without exceptions and cosponsored a bill that would ππππ ππππ‘πππ π€βπ πππππππ πππππ‘ππππ .
In #OH01: @SteveChabot cosponsored multiple abortion bans that didnβt include exceptions for rape or incest, including one that could ban certain birth control and IVF and one that would jail doctors.
In #OH13: @MadisonGesiotto supported an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest and said she would die to save her child before getting an abortion and πππππ’πππππ ππ‘βππ π€ππππ π‘π ππ π‘βπ π πππ.
In #WI03: @DerrickVanOrden said he was β100% pro-lifeβ and compared abortion to genocide.
These Republicans pose a serious and sustained threat to reproductive freedom. Their radical agenda will wreak further havoc on human rights. Itβs not alarmist, itβs fact. Read more: extremegop.com

π§΅This is a dark day for America & for millions of women who just lost their fundamental right to control their own body and their own futures. The GOP has eroded access to reproductive freedom for decades, and this final blow drags our country, kicking and screaming, backwards.
This is what the Republican Party has worked *so* *damn* *hard* *for.* Six Supreme Court justices just lit 49 years of precedent on fire and opened the doors for the GOP to enact a nationwide abortion ban.
This decision will carry devastating and dire consequences that will result in death and in the jailing of women and doctors. The American people overwhelmingly wanted to protect #RoeVWade, but Republican extremism prevailed.
π§ππ₯πππ: Republicans will never be able to evade culpability for their role in the #Jan6th insurrection.
Hereβs why β
πβπ ππ£ππππππ ππ πππππ:
Extremist House Republicans fanned the flames that led to the #Jan6thInsurrection.
They perpetuated the Big Lie and deliberately misled the American people all to curry favor with a failed ex-President. nytimes.com/2021/01/11/us/β¦
Publicly, 224 House Republicans failed to acknowledge the truth about the 2020 election, effectively ignoring millions of American voices. rollingstone.com/politics/politβ¦
π‘ππͺ πππ π£π¦πππ₯π: Rep. @ChrisPappasNH helped secure $2,000,000,000 for NH to fix the 250 bridges and nearly 700 miles of highway in poor condition, providing safer commutes for NH communities. #NH01 thecentersquare.com/new_hampshire/β¦
NEW π» AD: We just launched our largest voter contact ad of the 2020 election cycle to date -- a Spanish-language digital ad exposing Rep. @WillHurdβs failure to stand up for migrant children who were left behind in a Texas detention facility van. #TX23 cbsnews.com/news/democratsβ¦
Translation: βWhy hasn't Congressman Will Hurd spoken up for immigrant children left in vans?β
Earlier this month, a botched effort by the Trump administration left 37 migrant children in a van βunder the blistering Texas sunβ -- most for at least 23 hours.
