Ever hear the lie that Republicans don’t do anything about abortion? They just campaign on it? Well, that’s wrong. Republicans at the state and federal level have done many things to fight abortion, and Democrats at the state and federal level are doing everything possible to expand abortions—in some cases even advocating post-birth abortions like the case in Virginia.
A Republican president’s rule to protect doctors and nurses from being forced to perform abortions against their will was overturned by, you guessed it, an Obama appointed federal judge. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, a Harvard graduate who took office in 2011, and ruled against the Trump Administration’s protections November 6, 2019.
