Election 2018: Everything You Need to Know About Voting in Minnesota
The 2018 midterm elections on November 6 and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Supreme Court Watch: Planned Parenthood Action Fund Condemns Confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court
With the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court, the right to safe, legal abortion in this country is in danger.

What You Need to Know About Erik Paulsen's Attacks on Health Care
Erik Paulsen has voted with Trump 97% of the time and has made it clear he will rubber stamp the GOP’s anti-health equity, anti-abortion, anti-Planned Parenthood agenda if is re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

For nearly two years, the Trump-Pence administration has ruthlessly attacked our health and rights, and Rep. Paulsen and Rep. Lewis have supported its entire agenda.
Election 2018: We Can Win This
From the Trump-Pence administration’s relentless attacks to Title X to the Supreme Court, it is more important than ever that we elect pro-Planned Parenthood champions to the United States Congress who will stand up to these harmful policies at the Federal level and champions in the Minnesota State Legislature to the governor's office who will protect us here at home in Minnesota.
