The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm launched a website on Friday targeting Republicans in battleground states on their past comments on abortion ahead of the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) website, called goponabortion.com and first shared with The Hill, highlights past comments made by Senate candidates in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.

The DSCC website features excerpts of remarks from Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who both face reelection next year, in addition to a number of Republicans who have declared their candidacies for the Senate or are expected to run.

    I think the saddest part is, regardless of sides, the focus is on abortion as a topic. When zooming out the grand issue here is liberty of human rights. It is not up to others to dictate over someone else’s liberties simply because they don’t like it. A core of libertarianism is that people have all the freedoms they can get so long as it doesn’t encroach on others and their’s. A person’s choice here has nothing to do with anyone else. To enforce your ideals on another is anti-liberal and therefore anti-American.

    The US want to return that statue on Liberty Island so it can go a country that deserves it? Or does it want to remember that it’s supposed to be the Land of the Free?

    Americans are meant to fight for freedom, not oppress liberty. Talk about a log in the eye.

        Very hard to understand lol. Don’t think English is their native.

        Also more ‘both sides’ when one side has been fighting against republicans with the majority of Americans NOT voting for Trump, twice!

        E: Clarity. The joys of text to speech and walking lol.
