PHOENIX, AZ – Today, Reproductive Freedom for All announced their support for former Phoenix Vice Mayor and City Councilwoman Yassamin Ansari in the race for Arizona’s Third Congressional District.
President & CEO for Reproductive Freedom for All Mini Timmaraju issued the following statement:
“The stakes have never been higher—our fundamental freedoms are on the line this November, and Yassamin Ansari is ready to fight for us. We have a real chance to gain the political power needed for reproductive freedom majorities in the House, Senate, and White House. It is critical to secure a national right to abortion and finally end the nightmare of Trump’s deadly abortion bans, and this is how we make it happen. We need to send Yassamin to Congress to help us get there.”
Yassamin Ansari issued the following statement:
“I am dedicated to ensuring that we stop rolling back the clocks on reproductive healthcare, and enshrine it as a fundamental right once and for all. When Roe was overturned, I led the charge to pass an ordinance in Phoenix to make enforcement of Arizona’s archaic abortion ban the lowest priority for law enforcement – because no doctor, nurse or patient should go to jail for providing or receiving healthcare.
I’m so proud to have the endorsement of Reproductive Freedom for All. Everyone deserves the right to make their own decisions over their own bodies, to access the healthcare services that are right for them, and to do so privately and without government interference. As Congresswoman, I will work tirelessly to ensure that all Arizonans can access these services safely, affordably, and privately.”
