Sinema Responds To Threats From Major Women's Rights Groups

[LetMyPeopleVote]

This is such a weak response Emily's List was Sinema's largest donor in the last race. Sineman must be hoping that she can replace these donors.

Sinema responded late last night after two big-name women’s rights groups threatened to withdraw their support over her devotion to the filibuster. EMILY’s List named her specifically; NARAL warned any senator who won’t support filibuster reforms to pass voting rights legislation.

“While the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to end debate on legislation has been used repeatedly to protect against wild swings in federal policy, including in the area of women’s health care, I said on the Senate floor last week that different people of good faith can have honest disagreements about policy and strategy,” Sinema said in a statement.

These warning shots are all the more notable, given that abortion rights groups in particular have balked in the past from embracing filibuster reform or elimination, worried that Republicans would make outlawing abortion a top priority.

7. That is the key phrase.

Especially since the GOP has not operated in "good faith" since the Eisenhower administration. Kristen Sinema is also not operating in good faith.

4. Emily's list and other such donors

Shouldn’t threaten to stop funding.

They should just stop funding and announce that proudly.
