John,

On Friday, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that “frozen embryos are people and you can be held legally responsible if you destroy them,” jeopardizing IVF (in-vitro fertilization) practices in the state. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, we feared it would lead to rulings like this. Now, that fear has come to pass in Alabama. 

As the next Representative of CA-40, I will fight tooth and nail to enshrine reproductive rights at the federal level. The same cannot be said for my extremist opponent Young Kim. But to beat Kim in November, we need to win our primary on March 5th. Please chip in anything you can today to help me defend reproductive rights at the highest level >>

So what does this ruling mean? 

It will likely not only make the already high costs of infertility treatments substantially higher, but will likely discourage many Alabama providers from offering them at all in fear of being held liable for wrongful death. Essentially, this unjustifiable ruling is medical malpractice and will effectively end IVF (in-vitro fertilization) in Alabama as we know it. 

Without IVF, my son Joey would not be here. This experience has profoundly shaped my commitment to reproductive freedom. It's about protecting a woman's right to choose and make their own decisions, the freedom to build one's life on their own terms, to pursue parenthood on their own terms, and to access the vital healthcare they need without government interference.

Now we’re seeing the effects of SCOTUS’ Roe v. Wade ruling, and Alabama is just one tragic outcome. We can’t let reproductive freedom be ripped away from us like this. While in Congress, I plan to fight 24/7 to make sure of this. Will you donate to my campaign to support reproductive rights?

"For the last three decades, I've been running toward the problem… inside burning buildings, putting out fires, responding to disasters, and saving lives. Now, I'm running for Congress because we need a Democrat who will run toward the problems facing our nation – and solve them, not ignore them. Washington, D.C., is riddled with gridlock, corruption, divisive rhetoric, lack of civility, and too much grandstanding. Career politicians like Young Kim are only adding fuel to the fire, and I know how to put those out." - Joe Kerr
