Late Tuesday pro-abortion groups, including Planned Parenthood, of course, came out strongly against PRENDA. They’re trying to give pro-abortion congresspersons cover.

Add my representative to the list, Rep. Justin Amash, R-MI. He says this bill is only about politics and is more hate-crimes legislation than prolife legislation. Sheesh, I wasted time knocking doors last election and giving my word to others as to his prolife bonafides!

Beto�O’Rourke beat 8 term Rep. Reyes of El Paso TX in this Tuesday’s primary election making Reyes a lame duck.�

Reyes, a “Catholic”, tends to vote both ways on life issues (I suppose for purely political reasons). �Now we will find out how he really feels about the worst kind of abortion practice.

Chris, unfortunately, you are right. Amash and six other Republicans have voted against PRENDA.
Call him back and ask him why!

Tommy R, Reyes voted in favor of PRENDA this time.
