Democrat Flips Trump District in Alabama Special Election After Campaigning on Reproductive Rights

COLLINS: “Senator, I also gotta ask you, because we just have some breaking news in, that maybe people at home watching this race very closely, but it deals with our home state and it’s really important, seeing that it’s now projecting that the Democrat, Marilyn Lands, is going to win this special election that was going on for a State House seat in House District 10. It’s notable because she made reproductive rights a centerpiece of her campaign, something you don’t often see in deep-red Alabama. She said in a statement tonight that, ‘Alabama women and families sent a clear message with this. That is going to be heard in Montgomery, but also across the nation,’ and said, ‘They must repeal Alabama’s no-exceptions abortion ban, fully restore access to IVF, and protect the right to contraception.’ What do you make — what does her win mean tonight for Democrats?”
Jones: “It’s a huge win for Democrats. Look, this is a huge win for Alabama, not just for Democrats. This is a huge win for Alabama. It’s a huge win for women who are going to be pushing back, consistently pushing back on all the restrictive women’s reproductive rights that we’re seeing coming out of Montgomery these days.”
