Oregonians Deserve to Know: Does Anti-Choice Mike Erickson Support Efforts to Outlaw IVF

As families in Alabama are coping with the painful blow to reproductive care from the state Supreme Court's latest ruling, Republican challenger Mike Erickson has kept quiet on his own extreme record.

It's no wonder why. Erickson has long held a "strict anti-abortion platform " and has never been shy about his desire to restrict reproductive freedoms, including completely banning abortion.

And despite being vehemently anti-choice and wanting to ban abortion care even in cases of rape or incest, Erickson was exposed in 2008 after his ex-girlfriend said he paid for her to have an abortion.

DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
"The Alabama Supreme Court decision threatening IVF is the latest effort by far-right extremists to chip away at women's constitutional freedoms and deny them access to essential reproductive care. Mike Erickson has made brazenly clear that he would threaten the reproductive freedoms of Oregonian women in Congress, even after taking advantage of those rights in his own personal life. Voters can see right through his lies."
