Democrats hammer GOP on abortion rights and showcase ordinary Americans harmed by restrictive abortion laws.
Democrats gathering in Chicago were greeted with a giant inflatable intrauterine device, trucks offering free vasectomies, condoms condemning Project 2025 and several speakers focused on using the issue of abortion to persuade Americans to vote blue.
Laws passed in conservative states have restricted access to abortion, sometimes by making it allowable only if the woman's life is at risk. Some states refuse to make exceptions for rape or incest. Such provisions are being targeted by Democrats. Monday night's DNC programming spotlighted the issue in a campaign ad featuring Josh and Amanda Zurawski. The Texas couple had been awaiting a baby girl but lost her due to pregnancy complications.
