Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) had faced significant criticism for planning to appear at an event boosting Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.).
Rep. Cheri Bustos , who is in charge of defending the Democratic majority in the House, is backing out of a fundraiser for Rep. Dan Lipinski amid criticism that the party shouldn’t be throwing its resources behind a lawmaker who opposes abortion rights.
She didn’t directly say why she was canceling her appearance, but it comes after she faced significant criticism for throwing public support and resources behind Lipinski despite his record on abortion rights. And in her statement, she notably points out that she has a “100 percent pro-choice voting record.
Most significantly, Alabama recently signed into law the strictest abortion ban in the country, banning abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.
