Marjorie Taylor Greene vows to get rid of law that protects abortion clinics

During a ludicrous forced-birther symposium on Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breathlessly said, “We will repeal the FACE Act if we can get our opportunity,” referring to the 1994 law that protects health providers and patients from the intimidation and violence associated with the “pro-life” movement’s activism. The hearing, titled a “Investigating the Black Market of Baby Organ Harvesting,” featured a lot of imagery meant to elicit trauma, and little meaningful evidence showing that reproductive health has anything to do with “harvesting” anything.

The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act was passed in response to the rising violence of anti-abortion activists. And Greene’s reference to the law is just the latest maneuver by right-wing extremists to take away even more access to reproductive health care following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which eliminated the constitutional right to abortion.
