Democrat Congresswoman Wants 12 Days Paid Leave to Kill Babies in Abortions

A radical Democrat congresswoman has filed a new bill to force companies to fund 12 days of paid leave for their employees to kill their babies in abortions.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari, an Arizona Democrat, has introduced legislation that would require employers to provide up to 12 days of paid leave per year for workers to have abortions.

The Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, H.R. 8158, is the centerpiece of Ansari’s three-bill “H.E.R. Agenda” (Healthy, Equity, Rights) package. It explicitly covers “pregnancy terminations,” which is a whitewashing of the term abortion, along with menstrual pain, miscarriages, menopause symptoms, endometriosis, IUD insertions, vasectomies, fertility treatments and biopsies.

The bill has 28 Democratic co-sponsors and no Republican support as virtually all Republican members of Congress oppose killing babies in abortions.

Ansari has tied the measure to her personal experience with debilitating menstrual pain – mixing legitimate medical issues for women with abortion.

“Pain related to periods, in particular, is something that I have dealt with for many, many years,” she said. “Women’s pain, whether from periods, from endometriosis, from the number of reproductive healthcare issues that exist, is severely underfunded and under-researched and therefore we don’t have many solutions.”

At a May 21 press conference marking Women’s Health Month, Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., defended the proposal, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who joined Ansari in introducing the bill, is also supportive.

The legislation has drawn endorsements from Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which supports abortion.

The bill is not expected to advance in the current Congress.
