Reproductive Freedom for All Endorses Senator Sherrod Brown for Reelection to the U.S. Senate for Ohio
Washington, DC — Today, Reproductive Freedom for All endorsed Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) for reelection to the U.S. Senate. A champion for reproductive freedom and a cosponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act and EACH Act, Senator Brown has shown his strong commitment to reproductive freedom for Ohioans and all Americans. This endorsement comes fresh off of Ohio voters approving Issue 1 during the 2023 election, enshrining abortion rights into the state’s constitution through the ballot measure.
Reproductive Freedom for All President Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“Senator Sherrod Brown has been an essential partner and champion of reproductive freedom who we need in the Senate. All of the Republican extremists running in this race support a federal abortion ban that would overrule the will of Ohioans, and any one of them could cast the deciding vote to block crucial legislation protecting the right to abortion. We can’t let that happen. We’re ready to get to work alongside our 137,000 members in Ohio to make sure Sen. Brown can continue to fight for our fundamental rights.”
Senator Sherrod Brown released the following statement:
“While my opponents want to ban abortion nationwide, I stand with the majority of Ohioans who made it clear that a woman’s health care decisions should be between her and her doctor. I’m proud to have Reproductive Freedom for All on my team and look forward to working with them to protect reproductive rights across the nation.”
Last month, on the heels of yet another resounding victory for abortion rights in elections across the country, Reproductive Freedom for All launched its “Vote for Repro Freedom” campaign as the first push of its largest-ever electoral program. This digital and grassroots campaign will harness the momentum of big wins in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky by encouraging voters to commit to voting in 2024 for reproductive freedom champions as the first step in mobilizing the 8 in 10 Americans who support legal abortion.
Reproductive Freedom for All is already on the ground in states across the country, working to ensure reproductive freedom champions are elected from statehouses to the White House and that we protect and expand abortion rights and access through ballot measures. Our 2024 program connects voters with opportunities to make immediate, tangible change to help build a future where everyone is free to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and families.
