Last week, voters across the country spoke as one when they said NO to abortion restrictions and anti-abortion politicians.
Despite the GOP’s efforts to “compromise” on reproductive freedom in Virginia, pro-choice candidates secured a Democratic majority in both the VA State Senate and the House of Delegates.
In Ohio, voters enshrined the right to an abortion in the state constitution, a huge and hard-won pro-choice victory.
My Democratic colleagues and I are fighting to protect reproductive freedom in the wake of the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year – from securing health care privacy and health data to protecting contraception access to defending health care providers from prosecution.
We cannot let anti-choice extremists win. We cannot leave women without the right to make decisions about their own bodies. We are going to fight back.
