Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) announced Friday that she would prioritize legislation permitting abortion across the country following the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
“In the wake of this ruling, it is up to Congress to respond,” wrote Murkowski, vowing that she would continue “to work with a broader group to restore women’s freedom to control their own health decisions wherever they live.”
She added: “Legislation to accomplish that must be a priority.”

Lisa, please just change party affiliation. You are worse than a RINO.

She'll "continue to work" from outside the halls of Congress after the next election, I hope.

Except that such legislation would now be in violation of the recent SCOTUS ruling. The justices have already ruled that the states have legislative power over abortion law, not the feds.

Just pass an Amendment to the Constitution that specifically codifies abortion as a right. Other than that, any Federal law that hinders the states from dealing with this on their own seems to have been settled for good this very day.
Good luck with that Amendment...
/s off

Is she facing an electable opponent in November?

Can't she be primaried or fed into a wood chipper, whichever comes first? If she wants an abortion, it is legal in DC, or alternatively she can make a weekend of it in New Jersey.
I have nothing but contempt.

And they still don't get it. Abortion is not an aspect of any Article or Amendment of The Constitution. It is a state matter.
Or was the 10th Amendment just thrown in there for laughs?

If God is good and answers prayers, Ms. Evil herself, Murkowski, will finally be voted out of office this November. So Alaska, are you praying, and working to oust this backstabbing Rino, who hates our Country and President Trump?

People believe that the fantasy evil organization in the Marvel series, HYDRA, is just that... a fantasy. Make no mistake, our nation's capital and capitals around the world are full of members of a real HYDRA. It exists in our country as The Swamp and the creatures that dwell within it. They are evil and seek to destroy our way of life.

I believe Alaska has one of the most liberal abortion laws in the country.

Hey Murky...it is NOT a woman's "health decision". It is about protecting ALL indivduals' right to life.

One more thing....the Dems are always claiming states have the right to control guns even though the 2nd Amendment basically says differently...but now they don't want states to regulate baby killing even though there is no Constitutional Amendment protecting the "right" to murder innocent babies. Hypocrites...

Palin should sue Murkowski for fraud. She has been advertising herself as a Republican when she is really a democrat. That’s fraud when you take millions in donations but support another party.

Lisa honey…get some help. You obviously either cannot read or cannot comprehend the SCOTUS ruling. Say it with me now…IT’S A STATES RIGHTS ISSUE NOW…just as the CONSTITUTION says. If it isn’t enumerated in the Constitution, then it’s a state thing. Such a simple concept, and one we’d better get back to as a nation!

A perfectly healthy woman with a perfectly healthy baby growing inside of her is in perfect health.
Killing that baby in her womb is not a "health decision" -- it is infanticide and murder!!!!!
But those are two things that lie-berals are very, very good at -- infanticide and murder!!!!
