"Democrat's Focus on Abortion and IVF Propels Victory in Conservative Alabama"

Democrat Marilyn Lands wins a special election in conservative Alabama, campaigning against the state's near-total abortion ban and advocating for access to contraception and in vitro fertilization. Lands' victory is seen as a signal that reproductive rights is a potent issue for Democratic candidates, even in the deep south, and a warning to Republicans about the electoral consequences of restricting access to abortion and IVF.
