“Right now, patients here and around the country are counting on Massachusetts to make abortion, contraception, and LGBTQ+ health care as accessible as possible, especially in the face of a possible federal Administration hell-bent on eliminating access to this care. That's why we must elect lawmakers that are bold, effective, unapologetic champions for reproductive freedom in every district. As State Representative, Kristin Kassner will prioritize advancing reproductive health equity in Massachusetts, dismantling barriers to care, and ensuring safe, legal abortion is accessible to all.”
— Dominique Lee, President of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of MA
“As we’ve seen in the last two years since the Dobbs decision, anti-abortion politicians are determined to criminalize and eradicate all forms of reproductive health care, including abortion, IVF, gender-affirming care, and contraception.

That is why it is so important that we elect reproductive equity champions up and down the ballot this November, and why we’re proud to support Kristin Kassner who is committed to leading on a bold reproductive equity agenda for Massachusetts.”
