Mandela is committed to ending the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade.
Read a transcript of the ad below.
[LAJUAN BARNES]
I want to share my story so others can know that they are not alone.
[MANDELA BARNES]
When my mom and dad were first expecting, the pregnancy had complications and there was very little chance of survival.
My mom’s health was at risk, too. She chose to end the pregnancy.
[LAJUAN BARNES]
It was my decision. Not some politician’s.
[MANDELA BARNES]
Every woman has the right to make her own decision. And I’ll fight alongside you every step of the way until you do.
I’m Mandela Barnes, and I approve this message.
