Friends – This month, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether or not the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a federal law that requires hospitals to perform medical services, including abortion, when necessary for a medical emergency. Legal experts are predicting the court will abandon the text of a clearly drafted law in an effort to further restrict abortion access. Now more than ever, it’s critical to elect pro-choice, pro-science leaders. And nobody is better equipped to fight back against GOP attacks on IVF, contraception, abortion access, and reproductive care than OB/GYNs. Right now there isn’t a single pro-choice OB/GYN in all of Congress and most state legislatures don’t have any either. We’re going to change thatthis November. We wanted to highlight 4 incredible pro-choice women who are OB/GYNs running for office – two for critical House seats and two for state legislature in states where there are partial or total abortion bans. [Donate as little as $4 today so we can elect these 4 pro-choice OB/GYNs and a historic wave of pro-choice healthcare providers to office this year.]( . Kelly Morrison (MN-3) – There isn’t a single pro-choice OB/GYN out of 535 members of Congress in the post-Roe era. Kelly and Kristin (featured below) are running to change that. In 2018, Kelly ran for a reliably Republican seat in the Minnesota State Legislature and defied the odds when she won as a first-time candidate – by just 200 votes (less than 1% of the vote!). In the state legislature, she has led the fight to not only defend reproductive rights but to expand them in Minnesota. Now, she’s running for the open seat vacated by Democrat Dean Phillips in a district that used to be reliably Republican. Her ability to keep this seat blue and make history depends on us. . Kristin Lyerly (WI-8) – As an OB/GYN in Wisconsin, Kristin is currently unable to treat patients and pregnant people without threat of criminal prosecution due extreme abortion restrictions. She was one of three doctors who sued to block the state’s abortion ban from going into effect – causing her to be sued and targeted by Republicans and anti-abortion groups. She’s regularly commuted to Minnesota and Arizona to provide reproductive care and is now running for office for the first-time. Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District is an open seat that Democrats were just three points shy of carrying in 2018 in the statewide Senate race. With your help, we can elect Kristin and secure a pro-choice majority that will act to codify Roe v. Wade. . Anita Somani (OH HD-11) - Anita has over three decades of experience as a healthcare professional and is currently serving her first term as a State Representative, where she is the only pro-choice OB/GYN in either chamber. After seeing Ohio take an extremist turn on abortion and gun safety, Anita felt compelled to run for office for the first time and believed she could be a strong advocate for improving public health and evidence-based legislation. Last November, Ohioans voted on a ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution – which Anita traveled the state to rally support for. Alongside other 314 Action endorsed women, she authored the first bill to codify Roe v. Wade into law in Ohio after this measure passed. . Rita Fleming (IN HD-71) – Rita Fleming is a retired OB/GYN who delivered over 7,000 babies throughout her career and taught medical students for a decade. Rita, like Anita, is the only pro-choice OB/GYN in her respective state legislature. Rita has brought forward numerous pieces of legislation to protect contraceptive access and protect patients who require life-saving abortion care. This month, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that the state’s near-total abortion ban violated a state law protecting religious freedom. With this moment, leaders like Rita will be critical in helping turn the tide and restoring abortion rights in the state.

314 Action is the only national organization working to elect Democrats with backgrounds in science and medicine at ALL levels of government – from the Senate down to local school boards. Since 2017, we’ve supported more than 500+ candidates and reached millions of swing voters on their behalf with our data-driven messaging campaigns. Our candidates led the charge to flip the House in 2018, the Senate in 2021, and a handful of state legislatures in 2022. Now, there are more scientists in office than at any point in U.S. history. No one is better equipped to craft policy to address pressing issues like gun violence, climate change, healthcare reform, or restoring reproductive rights than scientific professionals. Recent polling confirms that scientific and medical professionals have some of the highest approval ratings and levels of trust among voters – Meaning our candidates are better positioned to win tough races and can cut through the partisan divide! 100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $19. We plan on supporting more Democratic scientists and medical professionals in virtually every state this election cycle than at any point in our history. With you by our side, we’ll defend our Senate majority, retake the House, keep the White House blue, and elect a historic wave of Democrats to state legislatures and local office.
