Three years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Nick Begich remains committed to a dangerous, anti-abortion agenda that threatens the health and freedom of Alaskan women and families.
Just last month, he rubberstamped provisions in the GOP Tax Scam to block Medicaid and Affordable Care Act (ACA) funding from covering essential reproductive health care. His vote threatens to shutter the few remaining health clinics in Alaska that offer comprehensive, lifesaving services.
Begich’s record speaks for itself:
-
- He opposes pharmacies’ ability to distribute mifepristone to patients.
- He opposes public health programs providing infertility treatments like IVF.
- He is against the extension of Medicaid coverage for abortion care, even to treat cases of rape, incest, or where the life of the mother is at risk.
- He voted for the GOP Tax Scam, gutting Medicaid and ACA funding for essential reproductive health care.
- He called for information on abortion medication “reversal” – which is not supported by science – to be given to anyone who receives the medication.
Reminder: One in three Alaskans rely on Planned Parenthood for access to miscarriage management, cancer screenings, STI and STD testing, family planning services, and birth control.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Nick Begich would rather push his extreme anti-abortion views than stand up for the health and freedom of Alaskan women. Alaskans won’t forget his work to aggressively erode their basic rights when they cast their votes next November.”
