Jessica Yellin Instagram – In Alabama, Democrat Marilyn Lands just won a special election for the state House by a whopping 25 points. She flipped a Republican seat by running a campaign focused on the recent Alabama Supreme Court ruling that threatened to end access to IVF and driving a message about reproductive rights.After her win she wrote on X, “Alabama women have spoken!”
Lands, who presented herself as a mom, a counselor and a Christian, talked about her own experience getting an abortion when a pregnancy was deemed “nonviable.” She also argued that the Alabama legislature’s bill designed to “fix” the Supreme Court’s IVF ruling was inadequate.
The reason this is getting so much attention: Alabama is an extremely conservative state. This victory won’t come close to making a dent in party control of the legislature. But it’s another sign that reproductive rights is energizing voters beyond the Democratic party base.
A number of moderate Republicans in the News Not Noise community say this is a top voting issue for them. If this is you, please share whether you’d consider crossing party lines in November because of repro rights?
Everyone else – what’s your take on this, could repro rights cost Trump the election in November?
