‘Today Was A Win For Every Mother, Every Father’: House GOP Passes Parents Rights Bill

The House of Representatives, in a virtually straight party-line vote, passed the Parents Bill of Rights bill on Friday. Democrats unanimously opposed the measure; they were joined by five Republicans: Andy Biggs (AZ), Ken Buck (CO), Matt Gaetz (FL), Mike Lawler (NY), and Matt Rosendale (MT).

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the bill fascist, stating on the House floor, “When we talk about progressive values, I can say what my progressive value is, and that is freedom over fascism.” She was echoed by New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer, who snapped that the bill was “Orwellian to the core.”
