Republicans in Congress keep trying to throw innocent doctors in jail

By Emily Crockett -

It's both pointless and dangerous.

Republicans in Congress are trying yet again to push an unnecessary, dangerous bill that threatens doctors with jail time for no good reason.

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) told reporters Monday that next week he plans to use a rare parliamentary procedure to force the Democratic-controlled House to vote on an abortion restriction that doesn't have enough votes to pass Congress — but that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy vows the GOP will push "again, and again, and again," just to try to make women's health supporters look bad.

The GOP-led Senate tried and failed to pass the same bill in February, and pushed it for the same cynical reasons as House Republicans.

"For all the Democrats who ran saying they were pro-life, this is going to be the true test," Scalise said — failing to mention that there are only a handful of Democrats in Congress left who both personally oppose abortion and are willing to vote to restrict it.
