Donald Trump hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet and his nominee to be Attorney General hasn’t been confirmed, but already pro-life groups and their Congressional allies are calling for an all-out assault on women’s reproductive choices. On Tuesday, Republicans, led by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley released a report which encourages the […]
