thom tillis on choice (government interfering in business bad, government dictating to women good):

this is just a small part of his anti-choice activities:

North Carolina
Thom Tillis
North Carolina
(R) U.S. Senate

The truth is that Thom Tillis has an extreme record of attacking women’s health in North Carolina. He’s gone too far with his dangerous agenda already, and as he vies for a U.S. Senate seat, we’re not willing to let him get even farther. We know that he:

Opposes safe and legal abortion.
Believes states have the right to restrict access to birth control.

Supports so-called “personhood” initiatives that could interfere with personal, private, medical decisions relating to birth control, access to fertility treatment, management of a miscarriage, and access to safe and legal abortion.
Supported state efforts that blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving funding, which would end the preventive health services that its health centers provide—like STI testing and cancer screening — for North Carolina women and families.
