No matter what state you live in, access to reproductive healthcare is on the ballot this year. It’s important to vote for every race, up and down your entire ballot, for state, federal, and judicial candidates who will protect our rights wherever and whenever extremists come for them.

Senate Republicans reject bill to protect IVF access (yes, again)

The SWP Take: You probably know this from your own personal experiences, but IVF and birth control are extremely popular. If you haven’t used birth control or IVF yourself, it’s likely you know others who have! Our senators should represent us, but instead, Republicans are choosing to side with extremists who want to take away our rights. No matter what they say publicly about supporting our right to IVF and birth control, we see by their actions where they really stand.

We must defeat these extremists who are threatening our freedoms and democracy itself at all levels of government this November.
