Talking Points: RFK Jr. and Jill Stein will not defend reproductive freedom
- For voters who care about reproductive freedom, supporting third-party candidates like RFK Jr. or Jill Stein is simply not an option.
- RFK Jr.’s position on abortion and reproductive rights is rife with anti-science takes, conspiracy theories, and radical policies that are out of touch with the American majority.
- In recent months, Kennedy has repeatedly shifted his positions to suit his audience, consistently undermining womens’ reproductive freedom. He has:
- Repeatedly endorsed a 15-week abortion ban;
- Stated the government has a “claim” to unborn children; and
- Held campaign events at an anti-abortion center.
- Meanwhile, his running mate is best known for her war on IVF—an essential medical procedure for women who want to get pregnant, but struggle to do so.
- Jill Stein is no better and her candidacy exists only to help Donald Trump—again.
- Stein played a critical role in helping to elect Donald Trump, who appointed the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade. She was totally silent on Trump’s anti-abortion justices and attacks Joe Biden instead of Trump, who boasts about wiping out reproductive rights.
- RFK Jr. and Jill Stein care more about helping the Red Team than defending reproductive freedom. A vote for either is a vote for Donald Trump, letting him appoint more anti-abortion judges to the federal courts.
