In Reversal, GOP Rep. Ellmers Now Says She'll Vote For Abortion Bill

[DonViejo]

In a second reversal of her position in as many days, Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) said Wednesday afternoon that she would support a routine anti-abortion messaging bill after previously raising objections over rape-related language in the legislation, which she had originally co-sponsored.

Ellmers said on Wednesday said that she support the messaging bill. Here's Ellmers' full Facebook post on it:

To clear up any misinformation, I will be voting tomorrow to support H.R. 36 – The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protect Act Resources bill. I have and will continue to be a strong defender of the prolife community.

The legislation was set for a vote this week but Ellmers and Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN) raised objections Tuesday over the bill, which bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Both of them removed their names from the bill as co-sponsors.

1. Rec for visibility, not approval.

Republicans said that the female Republicans who refused to vote for the bill had only a small objection. Unfortunately, this is one of the few times Republicans may have told the truth.

3. Yeah, I'll bet they leaned on her pretty hard to get her back in line.

They don't like their"wimmen-folk" getting all independent and such.

4. Some website is leaking rumors that she's having an affair with another Congressman.

I guess the pressure is too much for her.
