The GOP Is Using Its Attempted 20-Week Abortion Ban as a Hammer Against Women's Rights @alternet

The GOP Is Using Its Attempted 20-Week Abortion Ban as a Hammer Against Women's Rights @alternet: The GOP’s new abortion law isn’t about “life.” As Tim Murphy makes clear, it’s about male power over female bodies. In the endless chaos of the Trump-era news cycle, reproductive rights activists owe a small debt of gratitude to Rep. Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania. Not because he did anything good, mind you. Murphy, like most of the Republican delegation to Congress, has no regard for the well-being of any humans outside of the GOP donor class. No, it's because Murphy's behavior has been so outrageous that it helped bring attention to congressional malfeasance that might not have otherwise caught much media attention.
