The nationwide abortion ban proposal put forth today is the latest, clearest signal of extreme MAGA Republicans intent to criminalize women’s health freedom in all 50 states and arrest doctors for providing basic care.
Make no mistake: if Republicans get the chance, they will work to pass laws even more draconian than this bill – just like the bans they have enacted in states like Texas, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
We are already seeing the agonizing reality of the radical bans enacted by radical right-wing state legislatures – and extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress clearly want to inflict this same suffering on every woman in every state.
Instead of fighting actual crime, Republicans would drag doctors off to prison, while forcing ER physicians to focus on the threat of prosecution instead of the emergency medical care owed their patients.
Meanwhile, House Republicans have overwhelmingly backed criminalizing abortion nationwide, rejecting women’s right to travel for health care and even eliminating the right to birth control.
With Roe now out of their way, extreme MAGA Republicans are gleefully charging ahead with their deadly crusade to punish and control women’s health decisions.
In sharp contrast, Democrats are fighting to put #PeopleOverPolitics – and we will never relent until we restore the rights of Roe as the law of the land.
