Republican lawmakers say they won't pursue anti-abortion legislation, despite warnings from Inslee

Republican legislative leaders are saying they have no plans to pursue anti-abortion legislation in Washington state, despite warnings from Gov. Jay Inslee.

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, a landmark case that federally guaranteed access to abortion. The decision doesn't have a direct impact on Washington state, but now Inslee is arguing state laws protecting abortion rights will be easier to change if Republicans gain control of the majority in Olympia.

“What happened in Washington, D.C. this morning,” said Inslee, D-Washington, “we cannot allow that to happen in Washington state in the future.”

Inslee cited a series of abortion-related bills submitted by Republican legislators in recent legislative sessions. He said past attempts at passing abortion-related bills show Republicans are determined to ban the procedure.

1. We've heard "Roe vs Wade is settled law" from Republicans before.

Glad Governor Inslee isn't falling for it.

2. Are they Republicans? Are they saying what they

think you want to hear? Then they are LYING.

3. Suuuuurre, let's translate that for the rest of us.

"We can't pursue anti-abortion because we don't hold a majority in the state legislature or the Governor's office". "Otherwise we would be all over it."

5. Republicans are evil liars.

6. Gov. Inslee is fantastic and I don't know why he doesn't get more national attention.

One of my dream P/VP tickets is Inslee/Whitehouse. Sounds like "In The Whitehouse"
