Marking One Year Without Roe, DCCC Launches Campaign to Hold Don Bacon Accountable for Anti-Abortion Extremism

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, Don Bacon has continued his assault on reproductive freedoms, despite an overwhelming 80% of Americans who oppose a national abortion ban. To highlight just how out of step Bacon is with the voters he represents, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week announced new, early efforts to hold Don Bacon accountable for his anti-abortion crusade.

The campaign in Nebraska includes:

• A new microsite, expanding upon an investment from last year that outlines Bacon’s dangerous attacks on access to reproductive health care

• Three new digital ads, backed by four-figure buys, that will run against Bacon and other vulnerable House Republicans

The DCCC is making the stakes of this election crystal clear in Nebraska. With this campaign and others throughout the cycle, the DCCC will continue to highlight the extreme anti-abortion positions that Don Bacon has staked out.

To that end, the DCCC is distributing a fact sheet highlighting Bacon’s dangerous positions on stripping away reproductive freedoms HERE. 

DCCC spokesperson Jacob Haythorn:
“Don Bacon, who is endorsed by the fervently anti-choice SBA List, will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide. In the earliest weeks of the MAGA majority, he voted to punish doctors for providing reproductive care. Bacon cannot be trusted to defend Nebraska womens’ fundamental rights and freedoms and, as a result, will be voted out of office in 2024.”

Earlier this week, the DCCC released a memo detailing why abortion remains a key electoral issue for 2024, which can be found HERE.
