In Alabama, a Democrat has flipped a seat in the state Legislature after running on abortion rights and preserving access to IVF, in what Democrats hope is a bellwether ahead of November. Marilyn Lands said of her victory, “Alabama women and families sent a clear message that will be heard in Montgomery and across the nation. Our legislature must repeal Alabama’s no-exceptions abortion ban, fully restore access to IVF, and protect the right to contraception.”
