Reproductive Freedom for All Announces $23.5 Million “My Body. My Ballot.” Campaign Four Years After Dobbs
4.5 million members strong, the nation’s oldest member-based reproductive freedom organization launches largest-ever midterm electoral program ahead of November
Detroit, MI — Four years after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ended the federal right to abortion care, Reproductive Freedom for All Michigan is joining the launch of My Body. My Ballot., a $23.5 million campaign to mobilize voters, hold anti-abortion politicians accountable, and elect leaders who will protect reproductive freedom.
At the center of this campaign is a simple truth: support for abortion access is popular across party lines, more popular than any individual politician or political party. As many voters turn away from Trump and the MAGA movement because of their continued attacks on abortion access, Reproductive Freedom for All Michigan is working to ensure voters understand what is at stake for reproductive freedom in Michigan and nationwide.
The campaign marks Reproductive Freedom for All’s largest-ever midterm electoral program and will focus on persuading and mobilizing voters whose support for abortion access puts them at odds with Trump and his endorsed candidates. Through voter education, organizing, digital engagement, and political efforts, the campaign will connect reproductive freedom to the issues voters care about most.
Four years after Dobbs, reproductive freedom remains one of the most salient issues in American politics. Michigan voters took historic action to protect abortion rights by preserving reproductive freedom in the state constitution in 2022, but anti-abortion politicians continue to pursue policies that threaten access to care nationwide, and Reproductive Freedom for All Michigan’s more than 157,000 members are ready to fight back.
Reproductive Freedom for All Director of Michigan Campaigns Shanay Watson-Whittaker released the following statement:
“Four years after Dobbs, Trump and his cronies in Washington are trying to ban abortion at every turn—including in Michigan—and pandering to anti-abortion groups rather than lowering costs for people in our state and helping families across the country achieve stability. But the majority of Michiganders agree your access to care should not depend on where you live or how much money you make, and we have not let up in our fight against their attacks on our reproductive rights.
Michigan voters made it clear they support reproductive freedom when they voted to protect abortion rights in our state constitution. But anti-abortion extremists like Rep. Tom Barrett won’t stop until they ban abortion nationwide. That is why we are continuing to organize, elect reproductive freedom leaders like Jocelyn Benson, and ensure Michigan remains a place where people can access the care they need without political interference.”
New Reproductive Freedom for All polling underscores the opportunity for this campaign. The research, conducted by Impact Research, surveyed likely voters in battleground U.S. House districts, including an oversample of voters who did not support Kamala Harris in 2024 but voted “yes” on abortion rights ballot measures statewide in Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada. The results show that voters overwhelmingly want lawmakers to protect reproductive health care—and that communicating clearly about politicians’ efforts to gut health care access, undermine medical privacy, and prioritize abortion restrictions over families’ needs can meaningfully move voters.
Eight in 10 voters surveyed said it is important for lawmakers to protect access to reproductive care, including 58% who said it is very important. Battleground voters also rejected additional abortion restrictions: Half said lawmakers should pass laws protecting abortion access nationwide.
Support for a nationwide abortion ban carries significant political consequences. More than 4 in 10 voters said a politician’s support for a nationwide abortion ban would be a total dealbreaker—placing it among the most disqualifying positions tested, alongside raising taxes on middle class families and cutting Medicaid. After hearing messaging about attacks on health care access and privacy and politicians’ misplaced priorities, voters backed a generic Democratic congressional candidate by 12 points, 48% to 36%—a net five-point gain from the start of the poll (45% to 38%).
The campaign launch also kicks off Reproductive Freedom for All’s National Week of Action, running June 22–28, with events across the country designed to educate voters, train volunteers, elevate storytellers, and drive direct action in target states and districts. The week will feature 12 national activations and 11 in-person events across chapter states, including a canvass in Lansing to urge Michigan to hold Rep. Tom Barrett accountable and elect reproductive freedom champions up and down the ballot this November.
During the canvass, volunteers will connect directly with voters about the stakes of the 2026 elections and the ongoing fight to protect reproductive freedom. The event will help mobilize supporters, strengthen community engagement, and ensure voters are ready to hold anti-abortion politicians accountable at the ballot box in November.
