The Republican Reich is a vile contradiction.  On the one hand, they insist that government be too small to interfere with the criminal predations of Banksters, billionaires and corporate criminals against the poor and middle classes.  On the other hand, they demand that government must be too big to allow women any choice at all over their reproductive health care.  To that and, Republicans have passed several state laws intended to ban a woman’s right to choose and overturn roe v. wade<\/em>.<\/font><\/p>\n

Abortion-rights advocates are holding rallies across the country Tuesday, protesting a wave of laws passed by states in recent weeks to severely restrict access to abortions. <\/p>\n

Organizers include the ACLU, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and NARAL Pro-Choice America. More than 400 events were planned for a national day of action outside statehouses and courts, united under the #StopTheBans moniker. <\/p>\n

A rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court drew a number of Democrats vying for the 2020 presidential nomination, including South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. <\/p>\n

“This is the beginning of President Trump’s war on women,” Gillibrand told the crowd. “If he wants this war, he will have this war, and he will lose.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
