NOW Blasts ‘Radical Right-Wing Men’ Behind DC Abortion Bill

NOW President Terry O’Neill was quoted in a Hill.com article about H.R. 3803, a bill introduced by Arizona Rep. Trent Franks that would ban abortions after the 20-week mark in Washington, D.C. : “[The bill is] a clear strike in the ongoing War on Women. When will the radical right-wing men in Congress let up? This can’t be said more clearly: Rep. Franks is not the mayor of Washington, D.C., and he has no place taking private medical decisions away from women in the District of Columbia.”
