Primary Challenger calls out Congressman Dan Lipinski for asking Supreme Court to Reconsider Roe




Over 200 members of Congress asked the Supreme Court to consider overturning Roe v. Wade, which guarantees the right to an abortion, in a brief urging the court to uphold a Louisiana law severely restricting abortion.

The 39 senators and 168 House members submitted the amicus brief in the case of June Medical Services LLC v. Gee, which the Supreme Court will consider this spring....

...All 39 of the senators who signed the brief were Republicans. Another Republican senator, Josh Hawley, had previously submitted a separate amicus brief. Only two of the 168 House members who signed the brief were Democrats — Dan Lipinski and Collin Peterson. Lipinski has been singled out by abortion rights groups for his opposition to abortion, and is facing a primary from the left.

It is an attack on the sanctity of personal relationships and the limits to government interference in them

nothing about abortion, babies, any human life, he is trying to give his rabid haters something to celebrate and he assured them that at a minimum women need to go to prison if they get healthcare.

I hope roberts wont let it happen, but why wouldnt he? Legacy? pft

a few who are D in name only, and whose policies are not in line with the party and they need to go.
