Extremist Republicans who want to force disproportionately low-income women to give birth don’t also want to ensure universal child care or paid family leave. They’re not here to support families. They’re here to push a radical agenda. We must call it out and fight back.

End the filibuster. Codify #RoeVWade with a national law protecting abortion rights. Expand the Supreme Court. Stop this horrifying injustice in its tracks.
