“three of the first 12 bills that the House will vote on are designed to tighten abortion restrictions.”

Inconsistency and hypocrisy are nothing new to the Freedom Caucus (an ironic name, isn't it?) and their stance on abortion is no exception. These are the same people who gave the SCOTUS a standing ovation when it overturned Roe, singing Hosannas on high. "Abortion decisions are states' rights, not the Fed," they proclaimed. The states' rights seemed to last only until the "New GOP" took control of the House. Now, the personal decisions made by the pregnant mother take a back seat to what the (supposed) Evangelicals declare as Holy Writ.

Expect the House PseudoRepubs, PseudoCons and RINOs - made up of predominantly old, predominantly White and predominantly male members - to try to pass new legislation overruling the states' rights that they raised up just a few short months ago.

I'd say "please pass the popcorn" if the pending catastrophe that is the 118th Congress weren't so scary.
