Letter: Reelect Anne Carney to fight for reproductive rights and health care
The dismantling of Roe v. Wade in 2022 ended federal protections for abortion care. Now more than ever, we need to safeguard bodily autonomy and reproductive justice at the state level. Regardless of one’s beliefs, it’s imperative to understand that abortion bans are dangerous and have the potential to harm anyone who is or could become pregnant. […]
