This year, we should be celebrating 50 years of abortion access granted through the landmark case of Roe v. Wade. Instead, we’re FIGHTING LIKE HELL to protect what abortion access is left at the state level after the decision last year in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned Roe, leading to abortion bans and restrictions going into effect in states across the country.
2023 and 2024 are going to be huge election years in the fight to protect reproductive rights.
Mississippi AG Lynn Fitch led the charge in Dobbs, stating that abortion bans “empower women,” and implying that abortion access is unnecessary because of “sweeping policy advances” that support families and allow you to have both a career and a family. Nevermind that Republicans continue to push back against legislation like universal childcare and paid family leave every chance they get. Fitch is up for reelection this year.
Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron has continued to ask the state Supreme Court to keep Kentucky's near-total abortion ban. This is despite voters rejecting a statewide amendment that would have amended the state constitution to say abortion is not a right. Cameron’s running for governor this year, making the AG’s office an open seat.
Indiana AG Todd Rokita made national headlines this past year after attacking a ten-year-old rape victim from Ohio who sought reproductive health care in Indiana. He also attacked the doctor who legally performed the abortion. Rokita is up for reelection in 2024.
Democratic AGs truly are “The People’s Lawyers” and DAGA is the only party committee devoted to electing more of them. Since 2016, we’ve won two-thirds of our targeted races, and we can't stop now – will you chip in today?
