A new coalition formed by 22 Democratic lieutenant governors is built around protecting abortion access in their states.
"This is an important moment. Overturning Roe v. Wade was only the beginning," Bysiewicz said in a statement. "[T]he need to stand firm with our patients and providers is clear."
Among the Democratic lieutenant governors who have not joined are Kansas' David Toland and Kentucky's Jacqueline Coleman. Members include lieutenant governors from Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which have a Democratic executive branch and Republican-controlled legislatures. Vermont's lieutenant governor is also part of the new coalition, though the state has a Republican governor.Beyond model executive orders and bills, the group intends to maximize the availability of federal funds for reproductive health care and back manufacturers of medication abortion, according to the group's press release.
