Will abortion and reproductive rights politics rise to being one of the top issues in the 2nd district congressional race?
Alabama has long been an anti-abortion state where voters overwhelmingly enshrined the “rights of the unborn” in 2018, and where the state has had a near abortion ban in place since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
In a mass email last month, the DCCC charged that Dobson – if elected – would “use Alabama’s draconian abortion restrictions as a model for the nation,” that includes banning the procedure “even in cases of rape or incest” and for “jailing doctors for up to 99 years for performing abortions.”Republican Caroleene Dobson, candidate for the open Alabama congressional district 2 seat in November, speaks during a Mobile GOP meeting on Monday, July 1, 2024, at Government Plaza in downtown Mobile, Ala.
Shormari Figures, Democratic candidate for the U.S. House in the 2nd congressional district of Alabama, speaks during a news conference on Monday, April 1, 2024, at Government Plaza in downtown Mobile, Ala.Figures also linked abortion rights and IVF together, saying the collective policymaking and decision-making by GOP officials is curbing healthcare access for women. Republican leaders have criticized Democrats for months for attempting to link the two issues together.
“I truly believe IVF and the IVF process allows the miracle of life for those who never though they’d ever be able to have children or have a family,” Dobson said. “I don’t see abortion being the issue defining the race,” said Montgomery-based GOP pollster Brent Buchanan who estimates gun control as a more important issue for the majority-Black district. “This is a heavily minority district, and African-American voters, according to our most recent national survey, deprioritize the issue significantly over inflation and the economy.”
“ wax and wane over the sanctity of life but that is not the crux of IVF issue,” Gray said. “It’s less about sanctity of life and more liability and protections. I think Alabama handled well and quickly.”Carrie McNair, from Mobile, Ala. holds a sign at a rally advocating for IVF rights outside the Alabama State House on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024 in Montgomery, Ala. McNair had embryos implanted three days before the Alabama Supreme Court ruling and just found out that they did not work.
He added, “Fundamentally, any candidate who supports the current Alabama abortion law that denies access to abortion even to victims of rape and incest is deeply out of step with voters and should be expected to be held accountable for such an unpopular position in November.”
