It has been 100 days since the Republican-appointed Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending 50 years of reproductive freedom as we knew it. Since then, countless horror stories have surfaced: a 10-year-old rape victim forced to flee her state to get health care, women who experience miscarriages and people with auto-immune diseases unable to access vital medication, women told they’d have to give birth to a non-viable fetus, and more.
Despite the cruel stories and the widespread backlash at the ballot box, House Republicans and Amanda Adkins have doubled down on their war on women with continued promises to pass a nationwide abortion ban.
-
Adkins recently threw her support behind the Republican Study Committee budget, which includes a federal ban on abortion well before most women know they’re pregnant.
-
As the chair of the Kansas GOP, Adkins’ platform included a “human life amendment,” typically seen as one of the strictest bans on abortion.
-
Adkins “100 percent” backed Kansas’ constitutional amendment that would allow the Republican-controlled state legislature to enact a total ban on abortion with no exceptions.
DCCC spokesperson Johanna Warshaw:
“Millions of women have gone 100 days without the freedom they once had and Republicans like Amanda Adkins want to allow politicians to ban abortion nationwide. Voters will reject Adkins in November, because they want their freedoms restored, not taken away further by extreme Republicans.”
