TYT: GOP Launches Full Assault On Reproductive Rights

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"Republican state legislators have been able to expedite one of their top policy priorities -- restricting access to abortion -- given the historic gains they made in last year's midterm elections.

Now that the GOP controls 69 of the 99 partisan state legislative chambers and 31 governorships, state lawmakers have raced to file bills concerning all aspects of the procedure. As of last week, lawmakers have introduced more than 100 bills regulating abortion in more than half of all states, according to data from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation."

Read about it here (HuffPo).

And yes, there is video of some of the speeches and posters:
