We know Women Winning supporters are busy people, and with so many races and candidates, it can be challenging to know which ones will stand up for abortion access and Reproductive Freedom. 

That’s why we put together the Women Winning 2024 Voter Guide–to help you plan ahead and prepare to make your voice heard at your polling place!

Our Voter Guide covers races up and down the ballot from your local School Board to (our future Madam) President of the United States!

Check it out and support our incredible Women Winning candidates in your area!

Nineteen physicians currently serve in Congress — 15 in the House, four in the Senate. Only three are women. The only OB-GYNs — Reps. Michael Burgess of Texas and Roger Marshall of Kansas — are Republicans who oppose abortion. Pro-choice OB-GYNs Dr. Kelly Morrison in Minnesota and Dr. Kristin Lyerly in Wisconsin are running to change that. 

Morrison said that the 2016 election of Donald Trump “thrust me into a different brain space.” Before launching her congressional campaign, she was serving in the state Senate after two terms in Minnesota’s House.

“He ran on appointing justices to the court that would overturn Roe v. Wade, and so I knew what the implications of his election would mean for reproductive health care and for women’s health, and it was terrifying to me, so it it pushed me into a place where I made a pretty drastic change in my life to run for office so that I could be part of an effort to protect reproductive health care here in Minnesota,” Morrison added.

Last week, Minnesota Women’s Press featured an interview by Women Winning Executive Administrator Flannery White as a part of our Trailblazers & Changemakers series. It features incumbent legislator, Rep. Brion Curran, who is the Women Winning endorsed candidate for House District 36B.

Curran discusses their first term in the Minnesota House, their work to solidify queer and trans rights in Minnesota, their experience working public safety, and more!

As OB-GYN physicians in Minnesota, we are relieved and hopeful to see elected officials and candidates at every level working to preserve access to reproductive health care.

We know, however, that it can be difficult for citizens and lawmakers alike who do not have direct experience with high-risk pregnancy care to understand and articulate the nuances of the sometimes complicated conversation surrounding abortion later in pregnancy.

When we hear repeated statements on this topic filled with misconstrued characterizations designed to shock and manipulate voters, we, as experts in the field, recognize that our voices are needed to explain why abortion access cannot be restricted by stage of pregnancy and why the argument for gestational age limits is dangerous to patients.
