I firmly support a comprehensive policy on women’s reproductive rights. I am committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose and I oppose any bans on contraception and IVF treatments (weird that we need to say this in 2024).
Beyond that, I believe in:
A Constitutional Amendment to Protect a Woman’s Right to Choose
I strongly advocate for a constitutional amendment that enshrines a woman’s right to choose into the highest law of the land. This amendment would:
- Guarantee Reproductive Autonomy: Secure a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body, including the right to safe and legal abortion, free from government interference. OF COURSE I’m not in favor of a 9-month abortion – I’m not in FAVOR of any abortions. But I trust women and their doctors to make the decisions that are best for them. And government shouldn’t get in the way of that.
- Ensure Equal Access: Protect access to reproductive healthcare for all women, regardless of their socioeconomic status, geographic location, or other barriers. If you criminalize certain procedures in a whole state, you’re effectively taking alternative options off the table for many poor folks in that state. Not everyone has a couple hundred dollars to travel out of state for a medical procedure.
Opposition to Bans on Contraception and IVF Treatments
In addition to supporting a constitutional amendment, I am firmly against any attempts to restrict access to contraception and IVF treatments. I believe in:
- Protecting Contraceptive Access: Ensuring that all women have access to affordable and effective contraception, recognizing that birth control is a critical component of reproductive health and family planning.
- Supporting IVF Treatments: Defending the right of individuals and couples to access in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, which provide a pathway to parenthood for many facing infertility.
Comprehensive Reproductive Healthcare
My positions on women’s reproductive rights also encompass broader healthcare policy to ensure comprehensive care & access for women:
- Expanding Healthcare Coverage: Advocate for expanding healthcare coverage that includes reproductive health services, ensuring that all women have access to the care they need.
- Funding for Planned Parenthood and Similar Organizations: Support funding for organizations that provide essential reproductive health services, including cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and prenatal care.
I am committed to working tirelessly in Congress to sponsor and support legislation that protects reproductive rights and expands access to reproductive healthcare, while vocally & strongly opposing any legislative efforts that seek to roll back reproductive rights or limit access to reproductive healthcare services.
Every woman deserves the right to make decisions about her own body and her reproductive health. By supporting a constitutional amendment to protect a woman’s right to choose and opposing bans on contraception and IVF treatments, we can ensure that reproductive rights are upheld and that all women have access to the comprehensive healthcare they need.
