The television air waves in the Denver area are starting to be dominated by ads in the highly competitive race in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, where Republican state Rep. Gabe Evans is seeking to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo.

The outcome of the contest in the district that spans Denver’s northeastern suburbs along U.S. 85 into Greeley could determine which party controls Congress next year. The ads are part of millions of dollars in expected spending in the district as the Nov. 5 election nears.

Three years ago, the Pro-Choice Caucus had no full-time staffers. Now, the group has two on its payroll — led by Executive Director Aviva Abusch — a change that reflects the increased focus on women’s reproductive rights in the political arena.

Abortion rights have emerged as a key issue since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in the summer of 2022, and the Pro-Choice Caucus serves as the epicenter for reproductive rights messaging among Democrats on Capitol Hill.

Democratic lawmakers, including Vice President Kamala Harris, are blaming abortion bans for the death of a Georgia woman who was denied immediate care due to the state's restrictive laws.

House Democrats are ramping up public pressure on their Republican colleagues to prove that their professed support for access to fertility services is more than just talk, Axios has learned.

The presidential debate showed the candidates’ differing views on women's health care, an area of medicine that currently faces issues related to patient care and outcomes as well as barriers to access.

Two years ago, the Supreme Court's devastating Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision overturned Roe v. Wade and rolled back reproductive rights for millions of people across the United States.

Anti-abortion rights activists in other countries were paying attention. The harmful impact of Dobbs isn't just national—it's global.

As Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, hits her second week on the campaign trail, her message has been consistent: Even in states with protections like Michigan, the right to abortion and other reproductive health care are not safe under a second Donald Trump presidency.
