Abortion Group To Pump Millions Into Winning Back House: We Were 'Built For This Moment'

NARAL's "Majority Maker" program, the largest spending plan in the group's history, will specifically target GOP House members who have voted for anti-abortion bills that have flown under the radar, usually because they failed to pass the Senate.

A pro-abortion rights group on Thursday announced a $5 million investment in 19 states to flip the House聽to Democratic control in November.聽鈥淣ARAL was built for this moment. Never before have our rights and freedoms been under greater attack, and never before have we had greater opportunity to fight back and win,鈥 said NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue.聽(Hellmann, 5/24)

Kaiser Health News: Podcast: KHN鈥檚 鈥榃hat The Health?鈥 Campaign Promises Kept, Plus 鈥楴erd Reports鈥

President Donald Trump managed to fulfill 鈥 at least in part 鈥 two separate campaign promises this week. To the delight of anti-abortion groups, the administration issued proposed rules that would make it difficult if not impossible for Planned Parenthood to continue to participate in Title X, the federal family-planning program. And Congress cleared for Trump鈥檚 signature a 鈥渞ight-to-try鈥 bill aimed at making it easier for patients with terminal illnesses to obtain experimental medications. (5/24)
