WASHINGTON — A group of anti-abortion millennials showed up at Rep. Renee Ellmers’ office Thursday afternoon to tell her how angry they were that she helped sink a bill that would have banned abortion after 20 weeks.
They also wanted to know where to find a local bar.
The North Carolina Republican was among a group of women and moderate lawmakers in their party who forced their leadership to pull down the abortion bill Wednesday over its rape exception. That exception would have required women to report being raped to the police in order to be eligible for an abortion. Ellmers, who has a 100 percent rating from the National Right to Life Committee, reportedly warned her colleagues that moving such an extreme bill, and so early in the new Congress, could cost the party support among younger Americans.

“Awesome,” said the male student as they all walked off.
An Ellmers spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment from HuffPost.
