Via press release from the DCCC:
Republican Bo Hines wants victims of rape and incest to go through “a community-level review process outside the jurisdiction of the federal government” to determine if they can get an abortion.
Hines advocated for this “death panel”-esque review process for women seeking an abortion in an interview with local TV station WRAL.
Hines has long advocated for extreme restrictions on abortion – he told the Raleigh News & Observer that “Abortion should be made illegal throughout the United States. No exceptions.”
In April, Hines called abortion the “greatest moral atrocity” and said it was a “mass genocide that occurred in our country.”
“Bo Hines would make women and girls who have already experienced horrific trauma beg for their right to get an abortion from a panel of complete strangers,” said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson.
“Bo Hines has demonstrated a disgusting lack of empathy for women this entire campaign. He doesn’t deserve the power to make health care decisions for us in Congress.”
