Brilliant ad. If you have a daughter and you are voting for Trump you are insane.
Also I hope you will one day have to explain to her why you voted for a man who was found to have sexually assaulted a woman.

Do you want to see where crackpot fundamentalism leads?
Look no further than the Taliban’s new law prohibiting women from speaking outside of their homes.
The world needs to speak out against this latest abomination.

LAWSUIT FILED: Mere hours after Republicans in the Iowa legislature passed a bill that would ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, Planned Parenthood and the Iowa ACLU have filed a legal challenge to block the restrictions from going into effect. kwwl.com/news/crime-courts/p…

With book banning at an all-time high, a new generation of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" decided to take a new approach.

When future generations see these portraits by Robert McCurdy and Sharon Sprung in the White House, I hope they get a better, honest sense of who Michelle and I were. And I hope they leave with a deeper understanding that if we could make it, they can do remarkable things, too.

This is huge: abortion rights were on the ballot for the first time since Roe, and the people of Kansas voted to preserve access. I’m grateful down to my toes for everyone who helped stop this dangerous ballot measure in its tracks.

Democrats take note. Abortion rights won in Kansas tonight because organizers and advocates and pro-choice politicians did the work and centered freedom. There is only upside to being a champion in this fight.

A bunch of people voted in Kansas today and now abortion access is protected in that state. Don't let people who spend too much time on the internet tell you that voting doesn't matter.
Ashley Burns retweeted
It's possible the margin for "No" in red Kansas will be a resounding double digits, a sign of just how unpopular overturning Roe v. Wade is nationally.
Ashley Burns retweeted
I've seen enough: in a huge victory for the pro-choice side, the Kansas constitutional amendment to remove protections of abortion rights fails.
VOTE @KimReynoldsIA OUT.
NEW: Gov. Kim Reynolds has asked the Iowa Supreme Court to lift an injunction on the fetal heartbeat law that passed in 2018, essentially enacting an abortion ban at 6 weeks.

The polls have closed and I am now officially the Democratic nominee for Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District. Thank you to the thousands of volunteers and donors who have gotten us this far. There’s a lot of work to do before November and it starts now. secure.actblue.com/donate/lm…
