‘Who Do You Think You Are?!’ Congresswoman Rages Against Republicans’ ‘Cold, Heartless, Violent Approach’ to Abortion
"Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) blasted House Republicans during a floor speech on Wednesday night over their opposition to a veterans bill that contains an abortion measure. The legislation is designed to help vets better transition from the military back to civilian life.
GOP lawmakers objected to a provision in the Solid Start Act that states the Department of Veterans Affairs will be “providing women veterans with information that is tailored to their specific health care and benefit needs.”
The VA announced earlier this month it would provide abortions for women veterans who become pregnant as a result of rape, incest, or are endangered by their pregnancy. As such, the bill doesn’t represent a departure from existing policy.
“In terms of making decisions on behalf of women, if you wanna take a veterans bill and make it about abortion, then let’s do it,” Slotkin said. “What you are saying – and you’re saying in front of the American people – is that you believe a veteran who has been raped, who was the victim of incest, or who is having a dangerous miscarriage, does not deserve access to abortion.”"
