Democrats used to talk about abortion in abstract terms. Now Harris campaign volunteers are getting specific and changing the debate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crowd that greeted Kamala Harris in a high-school gym outside Milwaukee last month was delighted to the point of delirium. People\u00a0roared<\/a>\u00a0when she said that, as a former prosecutor, she knows \u201cDonald Trump\u2019s type.\u201d They cheered again when she spoke up for affordable child care and an assault-weapons ban. But when she said, \u201cWe trust women to make decisions about their own body,\u201d the response was so loud that it nearly drowned out the end of the sentence. She shouted above the din, \u201cAnd not have their\u00a0government<\/em>\u00a0tell them what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Harris spoke, Ben Wikler, the chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, noted that she has been talking up abortion rights since the Supreme Court\u2019s Dobbs decision, two years ago. In January, on the fifty-first anniversary of the Roe decision, she had opened a national reproductive-rights tour just fifteen miles away, in traditionally Republican territory, where Democrats are counting on opposition to Dobbs to help them in November. Rebecca Hammer, a financial planner from Oconomowoc, emerged into the sunlight after the rally, thrilled to see Harris as the party\u2019s new standard-bearer. She was aware that President Joe Biden, a practicing Catholic, is a reluctant Roe supporter, who\u00a0said as recently<\/a>\u00a0as last year, \u201cI\u2019m not big on abortion.\u201d Harris is a different story. \u201cIt is personal to her,\u201d Hammer said. \u201cShe can feel it in her bones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few issues are more important to Harris\u2019s chances in November than reproductive rights, which also include in-vitro fertilization and contraception. Since Dobbs, pro-choice advocates have scored victories on ballot initiatives in states such as Kansas, Michigan, Kentucky, and Ohio, signaling the strength of the Democrats\u2019 case. In Wisconsin, where four of the past six Presidential races have been decided by less than one percentage point, polls show that abortion is the top issue for Democrats. \u201cThere is not a piece of the coalition who we feel is not mobilized by this issue,\u201d Morgan Mohr, the director of the Harris campaign\u2019s reproductive-rights strategy, told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohr recalled the moment when she realized that the campaign was onto something. Earlier this year, she monitored a focus group of voters as they watched a new ad featuring Austin Dennard, a Texas ob-gyn who was denied an abortion even though her fetus had no chance of survival. \u201cIn Texas, you are forced to carry that pregnancy, and that is because of Donald Trump overturning Roe v. Wade,\u201d Dennard said, looking directly at the camera. \u201cI was to continue my pregnancy, putting my life at risk. It\u2019s every woman\u2019s worst nightmare, and it was absolutely unbearable.\u201d Members of the focus group put their hands to their heads or held them to their hearts. Dennard\u2019s story, Mohr saw, was harrowing, and potentially galvanizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make that emotional connection with voters, Mohr has helped more than a dozen women to talk about their abortions on the campaign trail. The women, called abortion storytellers, have introduced Harris at events, and they are training others to give their own testimonies in the hope of highlighting the stakes in November. Those sharing their experiences include the actor Ashley Judd, who\u00a0travelled to Virginia<\/a>\u00a0to speak about being raped and getting an abortion.\u00a0Hadley Duvall<\/a>, whose raw account of being raped by her stepfather at the age of twelve moved Kentucky voters in 2023, stopped in Madison and La Crosse in late July. Two women, one from Louisiana and one from Texas, did twenty-eight events in seventeen cities in six states last spring. Unlike feminist groups that for decades have told abortion stories while emphasizing female empowerment, and politicians who have relied on elliptical talk of \u201cchoice,\u201d these women often speak about the agony of needing to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons and, because of Dobbs, struggling to find help. At a rally in Madison in June to mark the anniversary of Dobbs, Senator Elizabeth Warren told me that such stories are powerful because, by moving beyond euphemism, they \u201cbreak the mold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe conventional wisdom was you don\u2019t talk about abortion on TV,\u201d Tanya Bjork, a Harris campaign adviser and a longtime Democratic strategist in Wisconsin, told me. \u201cThat is completely different already this year. We talk about abortion all over the place.\u201d Amanda Zurawski, a Texas woman who was denied an abortion\u00a0until she became gravely ill<\/a>, told me backstage after the rally in Madison, \u201cI don\u2019t think two years ago I would have been talking about my uterus on national television\u2014and now my permanently closed fallopian tube is just a fact.\u201d She became a plaintiff in a Texas lawsuit and recorded a sixty-second ad, \u201cWillow\u2019s Box<\/a>,\u201d about her ordeal, which has been viewed nearly six million times on YouTube. She has since quit her job and appeared at campaign roundtables and rallies around the country, where she tells her story over and over. \u201cYou realize that, even though this is hard, you\u2019re reaching new people every time,\u201d she said. \u201cIf I can hit one new person\u2019s ears each time, I\u2019ll keep doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Igler is, like Dennard, an abortion storyteller who has been both a doctor and a patient. An ob-gyn in the Green Bay area of Wisconsin, who has regularly overseen births and performed abortions, she ended a pregnancy of her own at twenty-five weeks, in 2020, after her fetus was diagnosed<\/a> with a devastating brain abnormality. Unable to be treated in Wisconsin after twenty-one weeks, she travelled to Colorado for the procedure. On the morning of June 24, 2022, Igler was at work in her office when she received a text from a friend. \u201cAnna, I\u2019m so sorry,\u201d it read. Igler was perplexed. She had not been following the news that day and was not expecting the Dobbs ruling. \u201cThen I got the gist of the message, and I was, like, Holy shit, you\u2019ve got to be kidding me, it really happened.\u201d Wisconsin would now enforce an 1849 law that made it illegal<\/a> to perform an abortion except to save the life of a mother. (The law has since been overturned by a circuit-court judge.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Igler had rarely discussed her abortion, but she reached out to a Green Bay\u00a0Press-Gazette<\/em>\u00a0reporter, who\u00a0told her story<\/a>. Soon, she was taping an advertisement for Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat in a tough re-election race. (He won.) The following year, she did an ad for a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate (who also won), and she is now featured\u00a0in a multimillion-dollar ad campaign<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0American Bridge<\/a>, a Democratic political-action committee. In the ad, she says, with red eyes, that she ended a wanted pregnancy \u201cbecause my baby was very sick.\u201d She has spoken at press conferences and rallies, and she told me that, for a few days after each event, she cries a lot. \u201cAnd then I just do it all over again when someone asks,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause I have to. This is too important not to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Igler on a Saturday morning at the headquarters of the Brown County Democratic Party, where she had agreed to speak to a dozen volunteers ahead of a door-knocking session. Before she was introduced, she stood to the side, and I asked what she was thinking. She answered that she had got into the right frame of mind by listening to the raucous song \u201cKnow Your Enemy,\u201d by Rage Against the Machine. (Lyrics: \u201cI\u2019ve got no patience now\u00a0\/ So sick of complacence now.\u201d) As she headed toward the lectern, she whispered, \u201cI do know my enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Igler told the group the story of her pregnancy. \u201cHer name is Nora Rose,\u201d she began, \u201cand she should be almost three and a half years old right now.\u201d She said that she fears another ban on abortion in Wisconsin if Republicans win local elections, and a national ban if Trump wins. \u201cPoliticians like Trump do not have the expertise, knowledge, or understanding to make any of these medical decisions,\u201d she said. \u201cWhy is our country headed back to the nineteen-fifties?\u201d She ended with a firm warning: \u201cRepublicans have no idea the powerful rage they have unleashed in us. We are coming for those who seek to control and oppress us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In past years, such an event might have focused on tax policy or school funding. Instead, for twenty-five minutes, Igler went on to answer questions about intimate details of pregnancy and abortion, including in-vitro fertilization, a procedure that she has used successfully since her abortion. One woman talked about period trackers. A man explained that his sister in Texas had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, and asked whether that termination would be called an abortion. (There is widespread confusion about this, and, as a result, some doctors have delayed lifesaving care.) Later, Igler said that people often approach her after rallies to tell her their stories: \u201cI consider it the start of another MeToo movement, with women coming out and saying publicly, \u2018I had an abortion.\u2019\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even for some pro-choice women, this means talking about lingering shame and regret. As the volunteers rose to collect their door-knocking literature, Barbara Dorff, a former Green Bay city-council member who had been listening thoughtfully from the second row, said that the word \u201cabortion\u201d saddens her. Now sixty-nine, she explained that she had lost a pregnancy in 1982. \u201cYou think you\u2019re safe after twelve weeks, right?\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then one day I just started bleeding.\u201d Her fetus had died. A doctor performed a dilation and curettage to clean her womb. When the nurse referred to the procedure as an abortion, Dorff was devastated. To her, the word suggested that she had made a choice to abort her child, and that she had done something wrong. \u201cIt\u2019s a hard word, it\u2019s a harsh word,\u201d she said. \u201cThere is a feeling or a weight behind that word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That afternoon, I trailed Christy Welch, the chair of the Brown County Democratic Party, as she met voters in the Green Bay suburb of Allouez. Linda Wallenfang, a sixty-four-year-old former union member at Georgia-Pacific, who is now retired, invited Welch into her living room and took a seat on the couch. When the topic turned to abortion, Wallenfang said that she has qualms about the issue but believes it\u2019s none of the government\u2019s business. She volunteered a story about the shame her late mother felt after having two abortions in the fifties, the first when she was a teen-ager and the second when she already had two young children and was feeling overwhelmed. \u201cMy mom went to her grave thinking she was a murderer. We told her God forgave her,\u201d Wallenfang said. When people hear stories about \u201cwhat happens to real women,\u201d she added, \u201cit changes your perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To say that abortion politics in Wisconsin have intensified since Dobbs is to understate the case. The return of the 1849 law, which remained in place for more than a year, activated many voters who had taken abortion access for granted. This was most evident in the 2023 contest for control of the state Supreme Court. The race became, by a factor of four, the\u00a0most expensive<\/a>\u00a0judicial election in U.S. history. Though the race was officially nonpartisan, the winner, Janet Protasiewicz, ran on a platform of preserving abortion rights and reforming the state\u2019s gerrymandered voting maps. She\u00a0won by eleven points<\/a>, giving pro-choice forces a majority on the court for the first time in years. Several times this year, Harris has been to Wisconsin and spoken about abortion, including a visit to La Crosse, on the Mississippi River. \u201cTen years ago,\u201d Bjork, the Democratic strategist, said, \u201cyou would not send anybody to La Crosse just to talk about abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To skeptics who say that the economy and other issues outrank abortion in importance, Wikler, the Wisconsin Democratic Party leader, says that surveys paint an incomplete picture. When asked what is on their minds, voters will often name inflation or the economy, he said, but \u201cif you engage in a conversation with a voter and you say, \u2018Would you ever vote for someone who thinks that politicians should be able to override your own medical decisions when it comes to abortion?\u2019 they will answer, \u2018Absolutely not.\u2019 \u201d Such framing is designed to resonate with Republicans and independents who resent government intrusion in their personal affairs. \u201cIt\u2019s about freedom,\u201d Jaime Harrison, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told me during his visit to the Wisconsin Democrats\u2019 annual convention. \u201cIt\u2019s about good people in this country who believe that women should have the right to control their own bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cfreedom\u201d formulation proved particularly effective in the first post-Dobbs electoral test for abortion rights, in\u00a0Kansas<\/a>. In August, 2022, a coalition called Kansans for Constitutional Freedom helped defeat an effort to remove abortion protections from the state constitution. Harris has now made freedom a central theme of her campaign, seizing a word that Republican politicians since Ronald Reagan have tried to claim for themselves. On August 7th, addressing a large crowd in Eau Claire alongside her new running mate, Tim Walz, she spoke of \u201cthe sacred freedom to vote,\u201d the freedom to join a union, and \u201cthe freedom to live safe from gun violence.\u201d Her voice rising to a shout, she reminded the crowd of an ongoing assault on \u201cthe freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris often speaks in optimistic terms, of \u201cfreedom to<\/em>.\u201d It is then up to the storytellers to show voters what an absence of reproductive freedom means. Zurawski, who filmed the \u201cWillow\u2019s Box\u201d ad, recalled that, when the campaign asked if she would like to help, she didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cI\u2019m terrified of the alternative, as I think all Americans should be,\u201d she said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t sit back and not fight back. There are a lot of folks who can\u2019t tell their stories, or they don\u2019t want to publicly, and I can. I had one woman tell me that she had had an abortion and literally no one in her life knows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Madison rally with Warren, Zurawski told the story, again, of her delayed abortion, to supportive cheers from the crowd. She said how hard it was to film the campaign ad and talked about why she was there. If it could help protect other women, she asked, \u201chow could I not go to my most vulnerable place?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
