Patients, infertility doctors and advocates of IVF attend a rally outside the Alabama State House on Feb. 28, 2024, in Montgomery, Alabama. | Stew Milne/APA special election for an Alabama state House seat on Tuesday will serve as an early marker of how politically salient the sudden battle over access to in-vitro fertilization will be ahead of this year’s high-stakes contests for Congress and the White House.
Lands lost the race by around 7 points in 2022 to Republican David Cole, who resigned over the summer after pleading guilty to voter fraud. In 2020, former President Donald Trump narrowly won this district, and former Democratic Sen. Doug Jones — who is supporting Lands — won it by around 5 points. The race won’t change much in the state House, as Republicans currently have a supermajority.
Lands said in an interview with POLITICO that while she is still talking about those other issues from her previous campaign, she felt that centering her abortion story was “the exact right thing to do at this moment in time” because “more is at stake for the state right now.”
