What happened

Reproductive Freedom for All (RFFA), described as one of the oldest abortion rights groups in the country, is launching a $250,000 direct-mail campaign targeting Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). The campaign focuses on Collins's 2018 vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Context

Collins's vote for Kavanaugh is significant because Kavanaugh became part of the Supreme Court majority that overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision protecting federal abortion rights. The targeting of Collins suggests that abortion rights advocates view her confirmation vote as consequential to the subsequent legal landscape on abortion access.
