Aaron Reitz's Record on Reproductive Freedom
- In 2019, Reitz identified being “pro-life” as one of the “areas of public policy” that he is “personally passionate about,”—and his professional record backs it.
- Reitz’s legal training commenced with numerous fellowships at some of the most notorious anti-abortion organizations, including the Alliance Defending Freedom.
- Reitz is currently the chief of staff for one of the U.S. Senate’s loudest anti-abortion voices, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).
- Prior to his current role, Reitz was deputy attorney general to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton—a strident opponent of abortion rights and reproductive freedom. In that role, Reitz participated in a letter-writing campaign to use disinformation and threats as a way to deter pharmacies from dispensing abortion medication.
- Reitz has stated that the work he did with Paxton to undermine abortion access, “protected precious unborn children by defending Texas’s pro-life laws,” and he criticized the Biden administration’s efforts to protect abortion access in the wake of the Supreme Court’s devastating decision ending Roe v. Wade.
- All evidence in Reitz’s record confirms that he will be a lawyer for Trump and his radical agenda, which includes threatening access to reproductive freedom.
