As this week marks the anniversary of the disaster Dobbs decision, we wanted to share new research that documents the positions of each accomplice caucus member. Since last year, support for abortion rights grew up, even and especially in red stateswhich puts the collective position of the Complicit Caucus on abortion even further out of step with a vast majority of Americans.
Although it presents itself as moderate, the entire Complicit Caucus positions itself among the extreme right on abortion. Let’s go over their background, shall we?

We will continue to monitor the Complicit Caucus and update our findings. Don’t be fooled by attempts to portray these 18 vulnerable members of the House Republican as moderates. When you look at their voting records on abortion and other key issues, the truth is crystal clear: the MAGA agenda is their agenda. Biden has won in each of their districts in 2020, and we can beat them again and take the House back in 2024.
