“Today, #Alabama women & families sent a clear message that will be heard in Montgomery & across the nation. Our legislature must repeal AL’s no-exceptions #AbortionBan, fully restore #access to #IVF, & protect the #right to #contraception,” #MarilynLands said.

The win was a rare victory for #Democrats in the #DeepSouth where #Republicans hold all statewide offices & a lopsided majority in the AL #Legislature.

DLCC Pres Heather Williams called the victory a “#political earthquake in Alabama.”

#Alabama has a near-total #AbortionBan, & #IVF services were paused last month because of a court ruling equating #FrozenEmbryos to children.

#MarilynLands defeated #Republican Teddy Powell to win the open legislative seat, acc/to unofficial returns Tues. Powell, a member of the Madison City Council, issued a statement conceding the race & congratulating Lands on her victory.

#MarilynLands, a Dem who made #ReproductiveRights a centerpiece of her campaign in deeply #conservative #Alabama, won a special election to the Alabama Legislature.
Lands’ victory in the suburban district in the #DeepSouth state was celebrated by #Democrats who have attempted to portray the state #GOP as too extreme on #abortion & reproductive rights.

"Out of this, Democrats now have a valuable blueprint and potent message for November: Unless these radicals are voted out of office and kept from power at all levels, from the statehouses to Congress, they will continue to infringe upon and corrode our most cherished personal liberties and freedoms, including even the most intimate questions of family planning."

"Democrats have strong reason to cheer this rather amazing election result [in Alabama], particularly because it confirms, once again, that the Dobbs decision is politically radioactive for the GOP. The IVF case out of Alabama further proved that social and religious extremists are still far from done, and that their weak compatriots in Washington will readily enable them."

Karissa Waddick & Kinsey Crowley: Who is Marilyn Lands? Dem running on #abortion platform wins Alabama house seat by 25 points

"She moved to #Huntsville, #Alabama as a toddler, and is now a wife, mother and community advocate with Christian values, in addition to her counseling work.

Abortion was one of her top issues as a candidate, along with economic development and education.

In a TV ad, Lands shared her experience getting an abortion for a 'nonviable' pregnancy years ago. She appeared with an Alabama woman who faced a similar situation but had to travel out of state to receive the procedure because of the state’s abortion ban after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision."

“Other news today suggests that Americans outside the MAGA bubble are turning against the poisonous politics that appeals to fear and hatred so its perpetrators can gain money or power.”
