January 14: Secretary of Veterans Affairs – Doug Collins
In This Role He Could:
-Reinstate the VA’s total ban on abortion for veterans, even in cases of rape, incest, or to save the woman’s life.
-Reinstate co-pays for birth control for certain dependents of veterans.
Red Flags:
-A+ rating from the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.
-In response to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, he tweeted “RIP to the more than 30 million innocent babies that have been murdered during the decades that Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended pro-abortion laws.”
-Voted against the Violence Against Women Act because it applied to lesbians and undocumented immigrants.
