18 vulnerable House Republicans side with MAGA in attacking abortion access – News Block

By MoveOn. Friday, June 23, 2023

With this week marking the anniversary of the disastrous Dobbs decision, we wanted to share new research documenting the abortion views of every complicit caucus member. Since last year, support for the right to abortion has grown, even and especially in red stateswhich puts the Complicit Caucus’ collective stance on abortion even more out of step with the vast majority of Americans.

Despite running as moderates, the entire Confederate Caucus stands on the far right on abortion. Voting in unison with the Republican leadership, these members of Congress represent voters who strongly believe in protecting and expanding the right to access abortion care. Let’s go over his background, shall we?

We will continue to monitor the Confederates Caucus and update our findings. Don’t be fooled by attempts to paint these 18 vulnerable Republican House members as moderates. When you look at their voting records on abortion and other key issues, the truth is crystal clear: MAGA’s agenda is their agenda. Biden carried every one of their districts in 2020, and we can beat them again and win back the House in 2024.
