ICYMI: Abortion Keeps Winning - Renaissance Edition
For Immediate Release: Aug. 9, 2023
Washington, D.C. — Abortion rights remain undefeated at the ballot box. This fundamental freedom has been winning so much — including in Ohio last night — that we could just copy and paste something we already put out after Kentucky, or Kansas, or Vermont, or California, or Montana… you get the point. But we like to keep things fresh. Here’s how Beyoncé would write this, Renaissance style:
America Has A (abortion) Problem and people are responding with big Energy. The Supreme Court took away our rights, but last night Ohioans, embracing their summer renaissance, proudly said “you won’t Break My Soul.” Anti-abortion politicians in Ohio were feeling smug and Cozy. But now we’re All Up In Their Mind and they’re Heated. Off to November, where Ohioans will tell anti-abortion politicians once again to Move out the way, abortion rights are here to stay.

You think everyone is on Mute? Nah. Here are a few other hot takes:
AP: Ohio vote shows enduring power of abortion rights at ballot box, giving Democrats a path in 2024
Politico: “Abortion still a serious turnout driver” and “Anti-abortion messaging isn’t evolving, or resonating”
Today, bans have eliminated all or some abortions in 21 states. As millions of people continue to experience the obstacles to abortion access in a post-Dobbs world, abortion rights will continue to remain top of mind for voters across the country. And Planned Parenthood Action Fund will keep fighting to protect access to abortion, along with finding new ways to talk about winning.
