"As an anti-abortion activist told the @washingtonpost, the goal of those terrorist actions was to make it so that NO doctor was willing to conduct abortions, even if they had a legal right to perform them."
@RepHankJohnson reminding us what's at stake, and why the law is vital.

"People targeted by the FACE Act are not peaceful protesters...Repealing the FACE Act is part of the long-term plan to achieve the long sought-after, extremely unpopular, goal of effectively banning abortion nationwide."
Thank you, @RepRaskin, for setting the record straight.

Amber Nicole Thurman was killed by Georgia's abortion ban. She died in a hospital, surrounded by medical providers who could have saved her life.
This is what abortion bans do.

The Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion in 2022. Since then, nearly two dozen states have banned or restricted access to the procedure and abortion pills.
@SarahVarney4 went to Tennessee to report on the disproportionate impact the bans have on Black women.
