Republicans’ Extreme Anti-Abortion Agenda is Endangering Women’s Lives


Washington D.C. - A new ProPublica report has confirmed what we’ve already known – that Republican abortion bans are dangerous and threaten the lives of women in need of emergency healthcare. 


Amber Thurman fell victim to the dangerous abortion bans in her home state of Georgia. Her life was tragically cut short because the laws in her state, imposed by Republican extremists, prevented her from getting the life-saving care she needed.


This is the exact nightmare we feared when Roe fell. In over 20 states, Trump’s abortion bans are stopping doctors from providing basic care. Women are being turned away from emergency rooms and suffering irreversible damage to their health and fertility. And now, women are dying. 


These are the deadly consequences of the Trump Abortion Bans. And here are just some of the Republicans who want to stand with him to enact even more bans across the country:



“Republicans are waging war on women, and we won’t stand for it. They want to strip away our freedom to make our own healthcare decisions and force families to suffer from their reckless political games,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “BOLD PAC is calling out these extremists for what they are—dangerous hypocrites. We’re fighting back, and Latino voters deserve to know the truth about their agenda."


Republicans don't care about our families. Here is the proof: 



  • Extreme Republicans, like Yvette Herrell, are misleading voters about their real plans to ban abortion.
  • Herrell’s dangerous agenda to ban all abortions is clear—she's even caught on tape saying, “I wish we could have eliminated all abortion in the state.” Don’t be fooled by her attempts to hide the truth. Herrell's extreme stance would hurt women and families across New Mexico.
  • Don Bacon is an extremist Republican trying to damage control on his anti-choice image, but we won’t be fooled. Despite his damage control, Bacon signed on as a co-sponsor of the Life at Conception Act – not once, but twice. 
  • His record is clear: he wants to ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. Bacon also wants to ban IVF across the country effectively. No amount of cover-up will deceive Latino voters. They know exactly where he stands.

These extreme Republicans, with their dangerous agendas, are stripping away our rights and treating women as second-class citizens.

La Agenda Extrema de los Republicanos en Contra del Derecho a Decidir Está Poniendo en Peligro las Vidas de las Mujeres 


Washington D.C. -
Un nuevo informe de ProPublica ha confirmado lo que ya sabíamos: las restricciones del aborto que los republicanos ponen son peligrosas y amenazan la vida de las mujeres que necesitan atención médica urgente.


Amber Thurman fue víctima de estas restricciones peligrosas en su estado natal de Georgia. Su vida fue trágicamente interrumpida porque las leyes en su estado, impuestas por extremistas republicanos, le impidieron recibir la atención médica que necesitaba para salvar su vida.


Este es exactamente el temor que teníamos cuando cayó Roe. En más de 20 estados, las restricciones de aborto de Trump están impidiendo que los doctores brinden atención básica. Las mujeres están siendo rechazadas en las salas de emergencia y están sufriendo daños irreparables en su salud y fertilidad. Y ahora, las mujeres están muriendo.


Estas son las consecuencias mortales de las prohibiciones de aborto de Trump.
Y aquí están algunos de los republicanos que quieren apoyarlo para imponer más restricciones en todo el país:



"Los republicanos están en guerra contra las mujeres, y no lo permitiremos. Quieren quitarnos nuestra libertad de tomar decisiones sobre nuestra salud y forzar a las familias a sufrir por sus juegos políticos irresponsables,"
dijo Linda Sánchez, Presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC. "BOLD PAC está llamando a estos extremistas por lo que son: hipócritas peligrosos. Estamos luchando, y los votantes latinos merecen saberla verdad sobre su agenda."


Los republicanos no se preocupan por nuestras familias. Aquí está la prueba:
 



  • Los republicanos extremistas, como Yvette Herrell, están engañando a los votantes sobre sus verdaderos planes de prohibir el aborto.
  • La peligrosa agenda de Herrell para prohibir todos los abortos es clara: incluso fue grabada diciendo, "Ojalá hubiéramos eliminado todos los abortos en el estado." No te dejes engañar por sus intentos de ocultar la verdad. La postura extrema de Herrell dañaría a mujeres y familias en todo Nuevo México.
  • Don Bacon es un republicano extremista que intenta controlar los daños sobre su imagen en contra de derecho de decidir, pero no nos engañará. A pesar de tratar de cubrir el daño que ha hecho, Bacon firmó como co-patrocinador  la Ley de Vida desde la Concepción, no una, sino dos veces.
  • Su historial es claro: quiere prohibir el aborto en todo el país sin excepciones por violación, incesto o la vida de la madre. Bacon también quiere prohibir la FIV en todo el país. Ninguna cantidad de encubrimiento engañará a los votantes latinos. Ellos saben exactamente cuál es su posición.

Estos republicanos extremistas, con sus peligrosas agendas, nos están quitando nuestros derechos y tratando a las mujeres como ciudadanas de segunda clase.

She wants to ban abortion and slash Social Security and Medicare. ¡Qué descaro! She’s out of touch with what matters most to Arizonans and we are going to make sure they know it. “Kari Lake doesn’t understand or care about the issues that matter to Latino families.

As Election Day nears, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Trump’s Project 2025 isn’t just policy—it’s a dangerous extremist conservative blueprint spearheaded by senior Trump officials and conservative groups that aim to dismantle our economic security, strip away reproductive rights, and gut Social Security. Everyone Knows Why Trump is Lying Now Latino communities are recognizing the truth about Trump’s dangerous agenda: Project 2025 is nothing but a threat to their livelihoods, their families, and their future. Trump is scrambling to win over voters with empty promises, including Latino voters, hoping they’ll ignore his long record of lies and betrayals. “Donald Trump’s campaign is built on deceit, and Project 2025 is the latest in a long line of dangerous policies designed to hurt Latino communities,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “While Donald Trump refuses to acknowledge the facts, BOLD will stand against his lies and fight for the future we deserve – one where our economic security, reproductive rights, and Social Security are protected, not threatened.” The facts speak for themselves. Trump’s Project 2025 will: 1. Bring Economic Devastation: Under Project 2025 , Trump is championing policies that would tank our economy, putting Latino families at risk. His tax cuts for the wealthy would come at the expense of hardworking Latinos, increasing income inequality and pushing many into poverty. ❌ LIE: Donald Trump’s platform claims he will cut taxes for workers and eliminate taxes on tips. ✅ TRUTH: Trump and his advisers have discussed deeper cuts to both individual and corporate tax rates that would build on his failed 2017 tax handout to the wealthy. Their goal is clear: to cut corporate taxes even more, which would primarily benefit the wealthiest Americans.

He knows the challenges working families face because he’s lived them. That’s why when he’s elected as the state's first Latino Senator, he will continue fighting for all Arizonans.” “Whether it’s in the home or in the community, Latinas are the organizers,” said CHC BOLD PAC Executive Director Victoria McGroary. “Latina women are a crucial pillar in the Democratic base. The new Latinas Lead program is an innovative effort focused on Latinas specifically as a unique entrypoint to persuade and mobilize the broader Latino community. Similar efforts should be a top priority for Democratic campaigns because anyone who knows our community will tell you - if you want to get the job done, just ask mamá , abuela , or tía to do it.” THE AD “BOSSES” OR “LAS JEFAS” CAN BE VIEWED IN SPANGLISH AND SPANISH .
