It’s October of a Presidential election year, and one thing we can safely say is that DC is awash in “the discourse.” For many of us, this is the first election in our lifetime where candidates everywhere are finally having to answer questions about their abortion policies. Despite what you might be hearing, voting is only one tactic in the movement to expand and protect abortion access, but it’s one that has real consequences. So let’s take a minute to deep dive into the season with 🔐Abortion Funding Unlocked: Election Edition.
