Op-Ed: Anti-choice politicians adopt dangerous new tactics

When a former reality TV star turned president of the United States is running an administration that resembles a massive dumpster fire, it’s hard to focus on much. When Trump is trying to pass religiously motivated travel bans, attacking judges, insulting our nation’s allies, and more, it can be difficult to remain aware of what else is happening around you — even in your own backyard.

Anti-choice politicians at the state level know this, and while they think we’re not looking, they’re pursuing dangerous new tactics in their assault on reproductive freedom. These days, state politicians don’t just want to defund Planned Parenthood or pass bills that would force the closure of dozens of abortion clinics in their states. Now, they’re implying that it’s okay for bosses and landlords to retaliate against people for their reproductive health care

even though Hillary came out and said she was for the Reproductive choices for all women, and that it was women who knew best when it came to these issues.

Women who vote for Republicans at the State and Federal level are voting AGAINST their best interests. They are part of the problem Republicans at the state level are doing their damndest to make even Birth control illegal as they are abortion.
