party of "family values"!?

The Republican party is not a family-first party or one of family values, but a party of protecting large businesses, restricting healthcare, and creating problems for Americans that they have no intention of ever repairing. [continue reading] The GOP is so brazenly in the pockets of corporations and big businesses that they will both force women to give birth against their will, while also blocking and voting down numerous examples of legislation designed to help improve the lives of working mothers. [{NAME}, fight back by chipping in $20.24 right now so we can continue the movement to win America's heartland for Democrats!]( [Chip in $20.24 →]( The most recent example, the addition of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (originally H.R. 1065) to the Omnibus spending package, has received misplaced criticism from the right. One such critic, Senator Thom Tillis (NC), blocked the bill with an argument that the bill would somehow contribute to “abortion on demand.” The bill itself is designed to provide “reasonable accommodations to the known limitations” of one experiencing the effects of “pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.” One could assume that, per the bill’s language, to request and receive the accommodations – a worker would, indeed, need to be pregnant or have recently given birth…. which would rule out the abortion argument. Note that these voting inconsistencies seem to be par for the course for anti-abortion GOP members. While many of them support restrictions on abortion and women’s healthcare, they generally also vote against any additional protections or aid for pregnant women, mothers, and children. Another recent example included the PUMP Act – which aimed “To amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to expand access to breastfeeding accommodations in the workplace, and for other purposes.” Yet again, it was met with contention from the right – 149 Republicans in the House voted against the act last October and Rand Paul blocked the bill on Tuesday in the Senate. The unyielding hypocrisy of the self-righteous “pro-life party” CONTINUES with every new bill introduced. Tammy Duckworth recently introduced a bill to protect IVF (The Right to Build Families Act,) yet again, Republicans blocked the bill. A bill that protects the right to start a family, the GOP’s main cause and rallying cry, and they blocked it. The Republican party is not a family-first party or one of family values, but a party of protecting large businesses, restricting healthcare, and creating problems for Americans that they have no intention of ever repairing.
