The lies are out of control in Washington, DC. Luckily, Mother Jones is here to fact-check our politicians. But we need your help to strengthen our BS-busting reporting. Mother Jones is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and our work is mostly funded by donations. If you want to fight the lies, please donate 5 or 10 bucks to the Mother Jones Investigative Fund today. Thanks!

As someone who marched on Congress in the 70's for women's rights and witnessed Roe v. Wade become law, it was appalling the tea party brought this ridiculous attack on women to the forefront in 2012. They've heard our voices and hope they've learned to stay out of women's rights.
