Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. claimed Friday that Republicans do not care about babies because they refuse to sign onto her signature climate change legislation.
“The GOP doesn’t care about babies at all – especially brown, black, or poor ones. If they did, they’d: cosponsor the Green New Deal or at LEAST have a real climate plan – guarantee healthcare so ALL can get prenatal care – not stand for the death+caging of babies on our border,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
To the GOP extremists trying to invoke “the unborn” to jail people for abortion:
Where are you on climate change? OH right, you want to burn fossil fuels til there’s hell on Earth.
If they were truthful about their motives, they’d be consistent in their principles. They’re not.

Ocasio-Cortez’s criticism of Republicans comes two days after Alabama passed the strictest abortion law in the nation. She ended her thread by saying Republicans were turning into a “creepy theological order.”
“What angers me about the GOP’s attempts to turn the United States into a far-right Christian theocracy is how dishonest they are about it. At least be forthright about your desire to subvert and dismantle our democracy into a creepy theological order led by a mad king,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

The freshman congresswoman has been vocal in her opposition against newly passed abortion restrictions in Ohio and Georgia.
Ohio banned abortions once a heartbeat is detected, and George passed a similar measure in May. Alabama’s law is the strictest, banning abortion in all three trimesters with an exception for the life of the mother.
Ocasio-Cortez rolled out the text of the nonbinding resolution of the Green New Deal in February. The measure included proposals meant to combat climate change.
