17 members of Congress were arrested Tuesday during an abortion rights protest. Among those arrested were: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.), Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
Capitol Police arrested 17 members of Congress on Tuesday as protests over abortion rights were held at the U.S. Capitol. They were among 35 people arrested for"Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding," U.S. Capitol Police said.
While the Capitol Police did not immediately identify the members arrested, Axios reported that all 17 members were Democrats. The 17 lawmakers arrested are Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Rep. Carolyn Maloney , Rep. Cori Bush , Rep. Ayanna Pressley , Rep. Madeleine Dean , Rep. Nydia Velazquez , Rep. Barbara Lee , Rep. Jackie Speier , Rep. Katherine Clark , Rep. Sara Jacobs , Rep. Rashida Tlaib , Rep. Andy Levin , Rep. Alma Adams , Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman , Rep. Veronica Escobar , Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Jan Schakowsky , Axios reported.
The legislation is a preemptive attempt to solidify gay and interracial marriage and contraception rights nationwide. House Democrats say that the Supreme Court could reverse same-sex and interracial marriage and contraception rights at the national level the same way it overturned Roe v. Wade, which leaves the question of legal abortions to the states.
