GOP Wasting No Time

Just days into the 114th Congress Republicans have already introduced five anti-abortion bills, making it clear exactly what their focus is: restricting women’s rights and access to health care. They swiftly abandoned their faux-moderate campaign rhetoric and prioritized cutting funds to Planned Parenthood and making it more difficult for women to have access to reproductive health care.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has wasted no time helping advance this agenda – promising to bring a 20-week ban, a bill violating the provisions of Roe v. Wade, to the Senate floor for consideration. Americans want Congress to be focusing on jobs and the economy and protecting their rights, one week in and Republicans have already fallen down on the job.
