Headline: New York Times, 1/12/2024
In 2021, Representative Michelle Steel, a California Republican whose district President Biden won in 2020, cosponsored the Life at Conception Act, a bill to recognize a fertilized egg as a person with equal protections under the 14th Amendment.
January 20, 2023. House republicans introduced identical legislation.
Michelle Steel craftily, or so she thinks, demurs.
January 12, 2024. After dithering for a year, Michelle Steel signs onto Life at Conception Act, endorsing a national abortion ban.
More from the Times:
Ms. Steel waited nearly a year to sign on — doing so on Friday morning, only after her Democratic challenger criticized her for flip-flopping on the issue for political gain and The New York Times notified her of a story documenting her change in position. Nearly three dozen other Republican lawmakers who supported it during the last Congress, including several who face tough re-election races in competitive districts, have yet to sign on again.
Michelle Steel represents this gerrymandered Orange County district.
