Anti-abortion group National Right to Life Committee’s (NRLC) super PAC is investing in California’s 13th District, going to bat for John Duarte as Election Day approaches. NRLC knows that Duarte will push their extreme anti-choice agenda if sent to Congress, and this latest investment should send a stark warning to California’s voters.
-
NRLC supports a nationwide abortion ban.
-
NRLC is pushing model legislation in states that would ban abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest.
-
NRLC’s general counsel, Jim Bopp, bragged about their model legislation that would allow states to force young girls to carry a rapist’s child to term, and even said NRLC hopes that child rape victims “would understand the reason and ultimately the benefit of having the child.”
-
NRLC wants to ban telemedicine for medical abortions, at a time when cancer patients and people with auto-immune diseases are unable to access their life-saving medication because anti-abortion extremists worry it could be used to terminate a pregnancy.
John Duarte has already announced his support for an abortion ban that is even stricter than the barbaric one proposed by national Republicans. NRLC’s investment in this races is yet another reminder that Duarte and House Republicans will ban abortion nationwide if given the opportunity.
DCCC spokesperson Marcus W. Robinson:
“Out of 435 congressional races across the country, an anti-abortion group who wants to ban abortion nationwide chose to invest in John Duarte. This should send a clear message to voters in California’s 13th district that if elected Duarte will work with his extreme Republican colleagues to ban abortion in every state.”
