Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement after California Governor Gavin Newsom appointed Laphonza Butler, who is registered to vote in Maryland and is the head of EMILY’s List, a pro-abortion fundraising outfit, to serve out the remainder of the late-Senator Feinstein’s term.
“Democrats are so committed to abortion that their first-choice appointment is an out-of-state Senator who leads the wealthy abortion lobby,” said AAF Executive Director Paul Teller. “Democrats have long made clear they are the extremists on abortion, and Governor Newsom’s appointment further represents the lengths they will go to defend abortion.”
