Yeah yeah, there’s talk of jobs and budget cuts. But, Republicans across the country are making limiting abortion a huge priority.
A South Dakota lawmaker proposed expanding the state's definition of "justifiable homicide" to a family member who kills another person in the "lawful defense" of an unborn child. In other words, they could legalize killing abortion providers.
The National Abortion Federation calls the bill an "invitation to murder abortion providers."
Moveon.org released an ad today in response to the recent attacks. It features Lisa Edelstein from House M.D., walking down a dark corridor and presumably going back to the dark days of women’s rights. It asks, “why is the GOP trying to send women back to the back-alley?" Moveon went all out with the 1950s coat-hanger imagery (yikes!).
Here's the ad. Please tell us what you think in the comment section below.
