I bet the vast majority of GOP'ers do NOT support no exception abortion laws.

But most might not support 2/3 trimester abortions either.

Codify a Roe-like law and recruit a dozen GOP Senators.

Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01). He has actually voted on our side pretty often, but only when his vote really didn’t matter. Quite sure he’ll toe the line now.
