Democrats on the U.S. Senate Finance Committee will hold a hearing, titled “Chaos and Control: How Trump Criminalized Women’s Health Care,” Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 10 a.m.
Christina Francis, M.D., a practicing board-certified ob-gyn and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, will testify alongside Heather G. Hacker, J.D., partner at Hacker Stephens LLP.
Ahead of the hearing, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser slammed the Democrats in a statement:
“Pro-life laws are clear, yet politicians and the media are sowing confusion at women’s expense. Across the nation, pro-life laws allow doctors to provide emergency care, and doctors who fail to provide necessary medical care should be held accountable. Pro-abortion Democrats and the abortion industry fearmonger and exploit tragedies resulting from abortions themselves, like the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller – leaving women confused about the law and scared to get care in emergency situations. These lies have real consequences, and we urge pro-abortion Democrats to value women’s safety over limitless abortion.
“States like South Dakota, Florida and Texas are taking crucial steps to educate doctors that their laws do not conflict with their ability to use their reasonable medical judgment, but politicians and the media must do their part. We call on all those with a platform and authority to present the facts rather than promoting false, confusing claims that put women at risk.”
