Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Derek Schmidt Refuses to Say That Birth Control, Marriage Equality, and Privacy Are Rights Protected in the Constitution
As the reversal of Roe v. Wade throws the fate of other fundamental American rights in jeopardy, Derek Schmidt is refusing to say “the U.S. Constitution protected the right to birth control access (Griswold v. Connecticut), same-sex intimacy (Lawrence v. Texas) and gay marriage (Obergefell v. Hodges),” according to a new report from the Kansas Reflector.
When asked by a reporter two separate times if he believes those rights are protected by the Constitution, Schmidt “didn’t directly answer.”
The Reflector adds that they followed up with Schmidt’s campaign, “pointing out that his response didn’t directly answer my questions, each of which could have been answered by a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ I didn’t hear back.”
