Washington Examiner Newsmaker Series: Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne on Immigration, Second Amendment, and Equal Rights

Published | Video Starts at 08:23

Those rights that were originally provided in the 14th amendment are completely redundant in the era. What I find from this is, one, it actually hurts women's rights. It's an attack on women's issues. Number two, It's strengthening groups like Planned Parenthood, which gives them the ability now to sue states claiming that abortion is a right. And number three is it takes issues out of the state's power and puts it all into federal government. And look, I am very much a believer in states rights. (08:23–08:32)
