GOP governors are using coronavirus to try to ban abortion

By Lisa Needham -April 2, 2020 2:57 PM

GOP officials are using the pandemic as an opportunity to push their right-wing agenda.

As states grapple with the coronavirus pandemic, making hard choices about what types of businesses and services can stay open, some Republican governors have used it as an opportunity to try to shut down abortions in their states.

These are the latest in a string of recent attacks on abortion rights. Conservative senators have banded together to try to ban telemedicine abortions, which allow people to easily obtain an abortion early in pregnancy even in areas where health care is otherwise hard to access.

Some senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have tried to push through so-called born-alive bills that stigmatize women seeking later abortions and threaten doctors with claims that the procedures amount to murder.

And of course, Donald Trump has claimed at his rallies that later abortions are infanticide, a harmful claim that has been debunked again and again.

Kill environmental regulations, ban abortions, overturn everything we have achieved in the past 50 years while we are at our most weak and vulnerable. It is the GOP way. Greedy, sadistic sociopaths...every one of them.
