A pro-abortion lawmaker spoke about the pro-life movement in a recent press conference, in which he criticized pro-life legislators as being “extreme” and a “threat” to the United States.<\/p>\n

Hakeem Jeffries, a congressman representing Brooklyn and Queens who also serves as the chairman of the Democratic Caucus of the United States House of Representatives, spoke about how “extreme MAGA Republicans” are “out of control” in a clip he posted to Twitter.<\/p>\n

“The threat right now, in this country, to the American people, are extreme MAGA Republicans. That’s the threat. That\u2019s the problem. That\u2019s the crisis that we confront, extreme MAGA Republicans. Why? They are extreme on reproductive freedom,” he said. “They want to criminalize abortion care.”<\/p>\n
