   20 Week Abortion ban gets Congressional Hearing

Today, Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) is holding a hearing in his subcommittee on legislation that would take away women’s constitutional rights and put women across America in danger.

Ironically, Franks‘ panel is called the “Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice,” neither of which Mr. Franks seems very interested in using to protect women.Womenshc

This is incredibly dangerous legislation. It’s a blatant attempt to roll back a woman’s right to choose. We need to fight it every step of the way. People need to know this is happening. People need to know what’s in store if these anti-choice zealots have their way.

Please make an emergency gift to stand against this bill and to stand up for women.keepabortionlegal

Yesterday, the radical anti-choice group Susan B. Anthony List stood with Rep. Franks and declared their support for this terrible bill. Anti-choice activists want to drag us back to the days when abortion was illegal and desperate women had nowhere to turn. I won’t go back. Will you?
