“The word hypocrites, it doesn’t even go far enough to call them out on what they’re doing. This is an outright attack on women in this country. That is how I see it. That is how, more and more women and those who support our right to make decisions about our own bodies, that is how we see it. And why? Because that’s what’s happening,” Hirono said. “This is a, literally, call to arms in our country.”

The real attacks following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, of course, came from the left and radical abortion activists who firebombed and vandalized dozens of pregnancy centers and churches.

But to Hirono, who smeared the Supreme Court as “extreme right wing” this past summer and called for the end of the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade, Democrats have every reason to write off Republicans’ constitutional right to promote an abortion ban as “pandering to their extreme MAGA base.”
