Take a look at this headline from Jezebel, John:
The Comstock Act is a zombie law from 1873 that Republicans are trying to use to ban abortion pills and procedures nationwide.
Justice Democrats incumbent Rep. Cori Bush was the first Democrat in Congress to demand its repeal — the man who defeated her in last month’s Democratic primary election doesn’t even know what it is.
This is an illuminating reminder of what we lose in $20 million primary races like Cori’s and Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s. That money spent by AIPAC and its Super PAC unseated a dedicated abortion rights champion and Congresswoman who led the charge to repeal Donald Trump's basis for a national abortion ban, and elected an empty suit who doesn't even know what it is to replace her.
We can’t go back in time and undo what AIPAC did in Missouri’s 1st district, but we can start preparing for the fights ahead, including defending every Squad member in the general election and recruiting the next generation of progressive candidates to join them in Congress.
Pitch in a grassroots contribution of $5 or more today to help us do just that.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
