A campaign ad from Katie Darling, a Dem running for Congress in Louisiana, made headlines for showing her giving birth. Darling is running for office to keep the government away from people’s personal medical choices; she spoke to iWatchiAm about her run
leave the state for medical careDarling is running for office to keep the government away from people’s personal medical choices, starting with this groundbreaking ad. “Every individual should have the choice to do whatever is best for themselves and for their bodies and for their families,” she tells the Cut. “And I don’t think I get to decide what that is.”I was seven months pregnant this summer, when they overturned, and I had a high-risk pregnancy.
Over the years, at other times when I considered running, I thought about all the obstacles women have when considering running for office, from being a primary caregiver or needing to work. Women have additional obstacles because of our reproductive capabilities and our roles in society and in a lot of family structures.
At the end of the ad, you say you’re running because you want to create a better world for both your daughter and your son. Why do you think it’s important to include everyone in the conversation about reproductive rights? Most of what I hear on the campaign trail are stories of ectopic pregnancies, stories of complicated births and procedures. And people will have tears in their eyes talking about their own personal story, their loved one’s personal story, and saying, “My loved one wouldn’t be here today” or “I wouldn’t be here today without access” to D&C, to an abortion, to immediate surgery that was needed to save their life.
