Friend,
Let's add it up. Three strikes, and you're out. Here's my opponent's track record on women's rights:
STRIKE 3
Rep. Bergman signed a legal brief supporting returning to the Comstock Act.
The Comstock Act prohibits the mailing of "obscene, lewd, or lascivious materials" or items "intended for the prevention of conception or procuring of abortion."
When signed into law in 1873, thousands were arrested, including lewd behavior of "writing a letter to somebody asking them for a date if they weren't married."
The law, as written, includes outlawing items "intended for the prevention of conception," which is birth control of all types. Because everything is transported by mail or a common carrier, it would give cause to effectively ban all birth control.
_________
STRIKE 2
Bergman sponsored H.R. 431, the 'Life at Conception Act, which would provide equal protection under the 14th Amendment for a fertilized egg.
_________
STRIKE 1
Bergman sponsored H.R. 705, the 'Heartbeat Protection Act,' a federal abortion ban that would punish medical providers for up to five years if they perform an abortion after six weeks.
_________
Bergman has also voted against bills that proclaim women should have the right to contraception.
Contraception!
For women's rights, reproductive freedom, bodily autonomy, and medical privacy, Bergman's oppressive reign needs to end.
With your help, we will unseat him once and for all.
Thank you,
-Dr. Bob
