Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) got into a heated exchange with two Democratic lawmakers on the steps of the U.S. Capitol over the issue of abortion.
On Friday, a video captured Greene walking down the steps toward a group apparently posing for a picture.
âThis is not womenâs rights. Killing a baby up until birth is not a right. Thatâs not healthcare. Itâs evil,â Greene could be heard telling the group.
A lawmaker identified as Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) turned around and held up a sign that read, âBuild Back Better For Women.â
As she started to walk away, Greene shouted, âYou should all be ashamed!â
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) also walked down the steps while Greene was leaving said, âYou should be ashamedâŚâ
The two exchanged words before Dingell could be heard shouting at the Georgia Congresswoman, âThe most basic thing youâre taught in church⌠respect your neighbors!â
Watch the video below:
The exchange comes after the House passed the Womenâs Health Protection Act, designed to protect access to abortion, with all but one Democrat voting in favor of the bill.
The legislation is not expected to pass the Senate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the House would take up the legislation after the Supreme Court refused to block Texasâ new law that bans abortions after six weeks.
âThe Supreme Courtâs cowardly, dark-of-night decision to uphold a flagrantly unconstitutional assault on womenâs rights and health is staggering. That this radically partisan Court chose to do so without a full briefing, oral arguments or providing a full, signed opinion is shameful,â she said in a statement after the ruling.
She went on to say the law is âthe most extreme, dangerous abortion ban in half a century, and its purpose is to destroy Roe v. Wade, and even refuses to make exceptions for cases of rape and incest.â
