To the Editor:

Voters considering candidates for statewide offices need to know where prospective Connecticut legislators stand on women’s reproductive freedom. Brett Kavanaugh’s addition to the US Supreme Court will likely result in a further erosion of all of our rights, including a woman’s right to choose. Abortion rights are protected by Connecticut state law such that if the Supreme Court reverses Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights would not change for Connecticut citizens. However, anti-choice groups will become active in attempting to enact laws that would remove or restrict a woman’s right to choose in states like ours.

Michelle Lapine McCabe is a strong, progressive, highly qualified candidate who will fight to protect reproductive freedom for the women of Connecticut. Michelle is endorsed by Connecticut Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut. I look forward to voting for Michelle for Connecticut State Senator for District 28.
