Members of Congress’s Democratic Women’s Caucus wore all white on Wednesday in a show of solidarity against Republicans and their efforts to crack down on abortion access now that they have control of the House.⁠ ⁠ The caucus, chaired by Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.), described the action as a way of showing “our collective resistance to the extreme MAGA Republicans’ anti-abortion agenda.”⁠ ⁠ Wearing all white, as many congresswomen did during Donald Trump’s 2019 State of the Union address, is a nod to the women’s suffrage movement of the early 1900s, when women fighting for the right to vote assembled in white clothing ― a fashion statement they thought to be inconspicuous on a single person but powerful en masse.⁠ ⁠ Congresswomen gathered in white Wednesday as the GOP-led House passed two bills sympathetic to the anti-abortion movement: a condemnation of attacks on anti-abortion groups and a requirement that health care workers provide lifesaving care to infants in the extremely rare instance of one surviving an abortion attempt. ⁠ ⁠ Read more at our link in bio. // 📷️: Democratic Women's Conference // 🖊️: Lydia O'Connor
