Levin to push abortion, contraception access even though GOP opponent Gunderson says he supports both
Congressional Democrats are seeking to capitalize on Republican opposition to a nationwide guarantee for access to contraceptives. That may be a challenge for Rep. Mike Levin, R-San Juan Capistrano, in his re-election bid against Republican businessman Matt Gunderson. Support for ensuring birth control availability tends to be stronger in public opinion polls than even access to abortion, which generally has substantial support.
Still, making that case is tougher against an opponent who pledges to support access to abortion, instead of someone who openly expresses opposition. The Supreme Court's Dodd decision in 2022 overturning the Roe v. Wade constitutional right to abortion reshaped the political landscape. Democrats have pushed abortion protections in state and federal legislation and ballot measures across the country. Efforts to guarantee access to birth control is a second wave in that strategy.
