Massachusetts U.S. Senator Ed Markey is calling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's promise to hold a floor vote on Markey's Green New Deal resolution a "Republican trick."
Markey (D-Malden) tweeted his disapproval of McConnell's statement on Tuesday, February 12:
A Massachusetts member of Congress sponsored a bill in December declaring that abortion rights are human rights. The bill would require the U.S. State Department to include "reproductive rights" in its annual human rights report, after the State Department deleted all subsections pertaining to abortion rights in 2017.
