The National Association of Christian Lawmakers is a Christian nationalist organization that seeks to “take authority” over every level of government across the nation and one day put one of its members in the White House.
Founded by zealously anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice former Arkansas state legislator Jason Rapert, the NACL regularly holds conferences at which Republican leaders, like House Speaker Mike Johnson, and religious-right activists plot strategy about how to enact their radical political agenda throughout the nation, largely through model legislation that is specifically designed to be taken back home by participating state legislators and turned into law.
For instance, during the NACL's most recent conference, participants discussed ways to take advantage of the far-right majority’s control of the Supreme Court to all but eliminate the separation of church and state, and to promote legislation that would allow anyone to sue teachers, librarians, and school officials for sharing LGBTQ materials with students.
The NACL recently held its winter conference in Arizona, where Kristi Hamrick of Students For Life encouraged lawmakers to introduce legislation contained in the organization's "Make America Pro-Life Again Roadmap" that seeks to use environmental regulations to outlaw chemical abortions.
"We want to help you Elliot Ness the Al Capone of abortion," Hamrick declared. "They got him with taxes and we'd like to help you get the abortion industry with the environment."
Hamrick claimed that at-home chemical abortions are flushing "thousands of pounds of aborted baby remains" into the nation's water supply, and therefore legislators should find ways to apply existing environmental regulations in an effort to outlaw this practice.
"Why not use their tools against them?" she said. "You built the weapon; I'm going to launch it. You're the ones who told me the environment was important, well then, can I get an amen because I have an environmental proposal for you: I don't want to drink your abortion."
"Who doesn't want clean water?" Hamrick asserted. "In President Trump's speeches that he gave all across the country, in every stump speech he talked about his support of crystal clear water. Well, President Trump, we're with you. What do we have to do to get crystal clear water? We have a Clean Water For All Act. What it does is it requires red bag medical waste disposal so that if you are having a home-based abortion, that material must be collected and returned for proper disposal."
"That's going to be really complicated. How will the abortion vendors deal with the medical waste?" she continued. "What do I care? I'm not here as the abortion industry problem-solver. If you start a business and your business model is to flush your trash into my drinking water, you will be shut down. If it's hard for you to go back and refigure out your problem, well, go out of business. What do we care, right? I shouldn't have to drink chemically-tainted placenta tissue because you can't be bothered to do your job."
"You guys have so many tools available to you to regulate the heck out of chemical abortion pills and shut them down," Hamrick crowed.
