This week, the Republican Examine Committee, which represents 100% of Home Republican management and almost 80% of their members, launched a funds that—amongst its many different anti-choice restrictions—endorses a nationwide abortion ban with zero exceptions for rape or incest.
The Republican Examine Committee funds:
- Helps eliminating reproductive freedom for all girls in each state and places IVF remedy squarely on the chopping block by Home Republicans’ assist for the Life at Conception Act.
- Endorses banning mifepristone – an FDA-approved, protected and efficient treatment that has been in the marketplace for greater than 20 years.
- Helps rolling again insurance policies that assist guarantee our Nation’s veterans have entry to abortion care when their well being or lives are in danger or in instances of rape or incest.
- Guts funding for contraception—which is supported by the overwhelming majority of People on each side of the aisle—for low-income and uninsured girls. This could additional erode entry to important well being care, from most cancers screening to main care, at a time when state abortion bans have already compelled well being clinics that present contraception and different important well being companies to shut.
If Home Republicans get their approach, all of those proposals would change into the regulation of the land.
When the Supreme Court docket – enabled by justices nominated by Donald Trump – overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed politicians to intrude in essentially the most private selections girls and households could make, it paved the street for Republican elected officers to pursue their excessive agenda. Their newest funds advances that excessive agenda.
Republican elected officers have already imposed abortion bans in 21 states and final yr, they launched greater than 380 state payments attacking entry to reproductive well being care. And, because the Republican Examine Committee funds makes clear, they gained’t cease till a nationwide abortion ban is in place.
President Biden has been clear: he’ll do every thing in his energy to fight back and protect reproductive health from these excessive assaults and he’ll proceed to name on Congress to revive the protections of Roe v. Wade into federal regulation so that girls could make their very own well being care selections.
