Mifepristone and misoprostol, used for medication abortion and self-managed abortion.
From ballot measures to extreme anti-abortion candidates, voters in the 2022 midterm elections issued a clear directive on reproductive rights. In all five states with ballot measures, abortion won every time. In California, Vermont, and Michigan, voters enshrined abortion in the state constitution. In Kentucky and Montana, voters rejected attempts to further restrict abortion access.
While not every abortion access champion won their race, Democrats now have a 51-49 majority in the Senate, solidified by Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock’s defeat of anti-abortion hypocrite Herschel Walker.
Abortion is a winning issue. It’s time our state lawmakers started acting like it, not only in blue states, but in purple and red states across the country, too. There are multiple steps our elected officials can take to protect abortion at the state level, particularly attorneys general.
Sign the petition to state attorneys general: Voters in the 2022 midterm elections made themselves clear: protect self-managed abortion.
