In reply to the discussion: What rights are you willing to give up? [View all]cheapdate
(3,811 posts)35. My home state (TN) is completely controlled by lunatic Republicans.
They are laying the groundwork for a total abortion ban.
We are committed and working hard to rebuild the state party to take power back from these people.
We have new leadership, new members, a new office, and new energy here at the Rutherford County Democratic Party. We're building our capabilities, reaching out to the community, and gathering new candidates.
There is only so much we can do with the resources available. Our work must remain focused locally and not on out of state politics and out of state races.
We are solidly committed to safeguarding women's health and their right to control their own bodies. We have close relationships with Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and work together on these issues.
