CHICAGO — Democrat Amanda Taylor decided to get “off the couch” and run for the Missouri General Assembly after state lawmakers passed one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans.
Campaigning in a deep-red district, Taylor says she’s heard voters from across the political spectrum express support for a measure on the November ballot that would reverse the ban and enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
“They’re gonna show up to vote against that abortion ban. And they’ll show up to vote for Kamala, and other women on the ballot as well,” Taylor said Tuesday, as she stopped to sign a banner supporting Vice President Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention.
