Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion and sending the issue back to the states, pro-abortion rights politicians and activists have been urging supporters to do one thing: vote in the midterms this November. Nearly 21 million women in the U.S. have already lost access to almost all elective abortions in their home states, per The Washington Post, and the elections this fall will be crucial in determining the future of reproductive rights across the country.
"One of the things the fall of Roe has done is reminded people that we need to be paying attention to races at all levels," A'shanti Gholar, the president of Emerge, an organization dedicated to recruiting and training Democratic women to run for political office, told ELLE.com. "Right now we need a full-fledged effort from all offices to protect abortion rights."
At the federal level, in order for any hope of codifying Roe and preventing Republicans from passing a nationwide abortion ban as some have threatened, Democrats would need to keep control of the U.S. House and expand their majority in the U.S. Senate. Advocates are also hoping to elect representatives who reflect the lived experiences of those affected by abortion care. "If we are having this conversation about women's health care, we need to make sure we have a Black woman's voice in the Senate to be a part of it," Gholar said. Abortion restrictions disproportionately impact people of color, and as of now, there are no Black women and only three women of color in the U.S. Senate.
