re: attacks on women's reproductive rights

I want to keep you in the loop, so I'm forwarding you this memo which tracks how Senate Republicans are responding to their party's extreme anti-choice laws. I hope you'll read the memo and pitch in $1 if you agree that Senate Republicans' response (or lack of response) to the blatant attacks on reproductive rights has been unacceptable.

Hi friend -- I want to keep you in the loop, so I'm forwarding you this memo which tracks how Senate Republicans are responding to their party's extreme anti-choice laws. I hope you'll read the memo and pitch in $1 if you agree that Senate Republicans' response (or lack of response) to the blatant attacks on reproductive rights has been unacceptable.

Aides to Gardner did not respond to a request for comment." Thom Tillis "dodged" the issue, then said under pressure "I haven't read the bill to know whether or not that was in there" Martha McSally also tried to "dodge" and "avoided the issue as best [she] could" Mitch McConnell "without saying so specifically" tried to state his position, but not his specific views on the controversial laws Shelley Moore Capito declared: "I don't really have a response" John Cornyn declined to comment on the law directly, calling it a "state issue" Strategy #2: Stay Silent Joni Ernst has still said nothing David Perdue has still said nothing Strategy #3: Pretend You Had Nothing to Do with It Susan Collins has claimed to be pro-choice as a part of her once-moderate persona but has repeatedly voted to stack the courts with anti-choice judges like Brett Kavanaugh GOP state lawmakers have said their legislation is specifically designed to use the Republican-stacked federal judiciary to overturn Roe v. Wade. As one Colorado newspaper's editorial board pointed out this week: Cory Gardner "dishonestly tried to assure Colorado voters in 2014 that, if elected, he would not permit erosion of women's reproductive rights… In reality, he has since voted to approve the nominations of justices who were chosen by President Donald Trump in part because of their likelihood to reverse or debilitate Roe v. Wade." ###
