FILE - Rep. Gloria Johnson, R-Knoxville, listens during a House Criminal Justice Committee meeting, Feb. 20, 2024, in Nashville, Tenn. Johnson, now running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate against Republican incumbent Marsha Blackburn , has joined the growing ranks of progressive candidates choosing to tell their own abortion stories. They are doing so more frequently in states that have banned abortion in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Lands made abortion rights central to her campaign, releasing a video in which she disclosed having an abortion after testing determined that her baby had a genetic disorder and could not survive. That leaves political experts watching races such as Johnson’s Tennessee Senate bid to see if telling more personal stories will make a difference.
Even before the right to abortion was struck down, there were hints that politicians’ personal stories could make a difference.
