IN THE STATES: Dems Blast GOP’s Ultra MAGA Anti-Choice Agenda
May 11, 2022
This week, Democratic state parties across the country held press events as part of a press day of action highlighting what’s at stake this November as Republicans continue pushing their radical, anti-choice agenda. These events came a week after reports of SCOTUS’ draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and days after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell confirmed a GOP majority could focus on a federal abortion ban.
