House Speaker is warning colleagues in a new letter that Republicans will push to 'criminalize' abortion – with contraception and in vitro fertilization under threat following the leak of a draft opinion. 'Republicans have made clear that their goal will be to seek to criminalize abortion nationwide,' Pelosi wrote in a 'Dear Colleague' letter – as are facing pressure from their own base of supporters to push back with abortion rights under threat.' state legislators across the country are already advancing extreme new laws, seeking to arrest doctors for offering reproductive care, ban abortion entirely with no exceptions, and even charge women with murder who exercise their right to choose,' Pelosi wrote. 'These draconian measures could even criminalize contraceptive care, in vitro fertilization and post-miscarriage care, dragging our nation back to a dark time decades into the past.'
