Abortion bill draws support, disdain: #tellusatoday

We asked our Twitter followers what they thought about the House passing a bill that bans abortion after 20 weeks. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

The House abortion bill is a start! I'm all for banning abortions after 20 weeks, if not sooner. If there's a heartbeat, it's murder.

— @KharissaForte

The GOP passing this bill is a waste of taxpayer money.

— @gasux216

Nothing the House passes that relates to abortion will make it through the Democrat-controlled Senate.

— @ambitiouswreck

I have been pro-choice for many years, but after the Kermit Gosnell case, I wrestled with this point of view. A baby has rights, too.

— @McHaleFrank

The House passes another abortion bill but has yet to pass a jobs, immigration or tax reform bill. Talk about priorities.

— @2tonebos

Just because a baby can't speak for itself doesn't mean it doesn't have a voice! All abortions should be banned.

— @Pili_deGzz

Why can't feminists understand that there are far more important issues to women than abortion, which divides and isolates us?
