Democrat blasts GOP for 'offering bills to give appliances more rights than women'
Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) criticized Republicans for their focus on legislation related to home appliances instead of women’s reproductive health during a Mother’s Day press conference Wednesday.
“We seem to have some Republicans who forget that the best Mother’s Day present would be to honor what mothers need,” Leger Fernández said at the press conference organized by the Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC).
DWC members at the event called on Republicans to support legislation that would help mothers “thrive,” like protecting access to abortion and in vitro fertilization treatments and making child care and elder care more affordable.
“We need health care, we need child care, we need respect as women.”
