What to do now:

Tell Carl how important abortion rights are to you:

This legislator has made their anti-choice position clear. They intend to enact laws that would further limit access to abortion.

What to say:

Call your legislator to share how important abortion rights are to you. While you're on the phone, try to gain a deeper understanding of their exact position.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why abortion rights are important to you.
  • Ask if they will commit to voting for any legislation that will protect the right to an abortion.
  • If they say no, ask which abortion restrictions they are pushing for.

“The people of Kansas voiced their opinion on this issue in 2022. I have never advocated for a ban on abortion and believe that discussions about a total ban are divisive. I’m focused on policy where there is broad consensus. I support exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother and will always protect access to lifesaving healthcare for pregnant women. I strongly oppose any ban on IVF treatments for women.”

“I believe life begins before birth but here should be a right to an abortion for exceptions of rape, incest and life of the mother.”
