Few issues have united the sprawling Democratic field as much as opposition to the passage of anti-abortion legislation in Alabama.
The Alabama measure is just the latest state bill targeting abortion rights that advocates say is a direct challenge to the 1973decision that made abortion legal in the U.S. Last week, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a so-called heartbeat bill into law that would ban abortions after the point at which a fetal heartbeat can be detected, before most women are know they’re pregnant. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed similar legislation into law last month.
“We need to lift up the voices of women and family across America who see civil rights and human rights being taken away from them, being decided by legislators and who know nothing about their lives, their health and their ability,” she said. “I'm telling you, this is something that is so harmful to women's ability to get basic, safe access to legal abortion. And it's something women may need in their lifetime. And it's something we should actually protect.
Bennet also invoked his three daughters, saying that abortion rights supporters “find ourselves on the front lines of this war once again” and arguing that panic about the Alabama bill showed Democrats needed to place a renewed focus on the judicial branch. “A lawless president has inspired lawless legislatures. Our laws are crystal clear the government cannot come between a woman & her doctor early in a pregnancy,” he said in a tweet. “Yet AL & GA did this anyway, believing laws don’t matter and if pressed, Trump’s justices will protect them. #ProtectRoe”
“Instead, the government's role should be to make sure all women have access to comprehensive affordable care, and that includes safe and legal abortion,” The South Bend, Ind., mayor said in a tweet.Ryan , who has not shied away from addressing his fairly recent evolution on abortion rights, came down firmly in opposition to the Alabama legislation.
“This is irresponsible, dangerous and would make it even more difficult for women to access basic healthcare,” he said in a tweet Wednesday. “As governor, I’ve stopped every attack on a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, and that’s exactly what I’ll do as president.”The Massachusetts congressman derided the bill in an interview on CNN Wednesday, calling the measure "absolutely disgusting" and taking particular offense at the bill's lack of exemptions.
