Rep. Speier: ‘There Is a War out There and We Need to Armor Up’

EXCERPT:

SPEIER: “I think it’s a very real threat. I think it’s also a threat to have a national ban on abortions. And that’s why my state of California, we can’t take that lightly because we’ve got great laws on the books. And the Governor is about to sign one that enshrines it in the Constitution. I absolutely believe that they are on a path to ban contraception, to affect trans persons in terms of their rights, to ban same-sex marriages and have an effect on LGBTQ rights in this country. There is a war out there and we need to recognize that we’ve got to armor up.”
