EARTH TO AMANDA: Did Adkins Forget About Her Support for a Plan that Would Ban Abortion Nationwide?

Amanda Adkins has so many extreme, anti-abortion positions it seems she has lost track.

In a desperate attempt to hide her positions, Adkins appears to have forgotten about her full-throated endorsement of the Republican Study Committee budget, which includes a federal ban on abortion without exceptions. So here’s a refresher:

  • Adkins “absolutely” supports the Republican Study Committee budget and its 23 anti-abortion policies, including a federal ban on abortion without exceptions well before most women know they’re pregnant.

  • As chair of the Kansas Republican Party under Sam Brownback, Adkins pushed for a plan to make abortion illegal, even in cases of rape and incest.

  • Adkins said she “100 percent” backed the failed constitutional amendment in Kansas that would have paved the way for the state legislature to enact a radical ban on abortion without exceptions.

  • Adkins is endorsed by Susan B. Anthony’s List, an anti-choice organization that has supported bans for abortion without exceptions for rape or incest.

DCCC Spokesperson Johanna Warshaw
“We’d like to forget about Amanda Adkins’ extreme anti-choice positions, too.”
