GOP abortion bans causing ‘maternal health crisis,’ says OB-GYN Dr. Kelly Morrison
[[link removed]]
Dr. Kelly Morrison, who won her primary to become Democratic nominee for Minnesota’s 3rd District, could become the first pro-abortion rights OB-GYN in Congress if elected. She tells MSNBC’s Ali Velshi about the “heartbreaking” stories from women refused abortion care, how those laws will only get worse if Donald Trump is elected and why she wants to be a voice for women on Capitol Hill.

Abortion Policy Under Trump vs. Harris
[[link removed]]
Access to abortion has become one of the largest and thorniest election-year divisions, with Vice President Kamala Harris’ entrance into the presidential race ensuring an even more prominent role for an issue that was already a cornerstone of Democrats’ campaign strategy.
Harris and former President Donald Trump have taken drastically different approaches to the subject over the years.
Trump famously declared in 1999 before his political career that he was “very pro-choice,” adding, “I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it. I hate everything it stands for.” Republicans have long since given him a pass for those remarks. He has since described himself as the “most pro-life president” in U.S. history.
Harris, on the other hand, has been unwavering. As a senator and presidential candidate in 2019, she put forward an extensive plan to protect abortion access modeled after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in which states would be required to get preclearance from the Justice Department before changing abortion laws. The ambitious proposal, which would have required the approval of both chambers of Congress, did not succeed. But it does offer insight into the high priority that protecting reproductive freedoms would be in a Harris administration. She is also believed to be the first sitting U.S. vice president to ever visit an abortion clinic.

Experts warn US women’s progress in politics is slowing
[[link removed]]
Women continue to make record-breaking progress in politics — most notably with Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the first woman of color at the top of a major party presidential ticket. However, an annual report by RepresentWomen, a nonprofit organization that supports institutional reforms to help women enter public office, found that progress has been inconsistent.
The report, called the Gender Parity Index, tracks gender representation across local, state and federal offices.“The 2024 Index reflects our complex political landscape, suggesting progress in women’s political representation may stagnate or even backslide,” according to the report.
Overall, the United States lags behind most established democracies. Women are still underrepresented at every level of government, holding under one-third of all elected positions despite accounting for more than 50 percent of the total national population. In the last year, the number of women congressional candidates has fallen by 20 percent in the House and 26 percent in the Senate. And a record number of incumbent women are not running for reelection.
