Biden: Three Republican Members of Congress Want to ‘Criminalize Healthcare in Every State’

Biden: “My congressional Republican friends are going to even further — further extremes to undermine a woman’s rights to threaten — and threatening the lives of women. Three different Republican members in the United States Congress have proposed three different additional national bans to criminalize healthcare in every state. Let me tell you what they are. One is a zero-week ban with absolutely no exceptions — a zero-week ban with absolutely no exceptions. The second is a six-week ban. The penalty for violating it is jail. The third is a 15-week ban. The penalty is a five-year prison sentence. That means even if you live in a state where the extremist Republicans are not running the show, your right to choose, your right to privacy would still be at risk if this law was passed — any of these were passed nationally.”
