Nick Simmons’ focus on attacking Ryan Fazio’s stance on reproductive rights is misguided. Fazio is, and always has been, pro-choice. Turning such a sensitive issue into a political weapon isn’t just a misstep—it’s a disservice to the community. Women’s health and rights are not talking points to be exploited for votes.
In a state legislature dominated by Democrats, abortion isn’t under threat, yet Simmons clings to it as if it were. Meanwhile, Fazio has done the real work. He’s championed broader access to birth control, leading to fewer unplanned pregnancies. His policies also ensure that surgical procedures take place in safe, regulated environments, providing real protections for women.
If Simmons has nothing more to contribute than mischaracterizations and fear tactics, voters are right to question the substance of his campaign. Greenwich deserves better.
