Californians Deserve to Know: Do the Anti-Choice Republicans Running in California’s 49th District Support Efforts to Outlaw IVF?

This week, families in Alabama are coping with the painful blow to reproductive care from the state Supreme Court’s latest ruling. Meanwhile, every Republican in California’s 49th Congressional District has kept extremely quiet on their own extreme legislative agendas. It’s no wonder why.

GOP candidates Matt Gunderson, Margarita Wilkinson, and Kate Monroe have all expressed interest in restricting reproductive rights. They’re vying to join the ranks of Republicans all across the country backing the Life at Conception Act that would impose similar restrictions on IVF and fertility treatments.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mike Levin is standing up for access to fertility care, and will keep up the fight in Congress to protect reproductive freedom.

DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“The Alabama Supreme Court decision threatening IVF is the latest effort by extremists to chip away at women’s constitutional freedoms and deny them access to essential reproductive care. We need strong Democrats like Mike Levin in Congress who aren’t afraid to actually stand up for the reproductive freedoms of Californian women – not anti-choice zealots like Matt Gunderson, Margarita Wilkinson, and Kate Monroe.”
