Issue Position: Supporting Women's Rights

Issue Position

As Republicans in the Pennsylvania Legislature continue to push their party further to the right, it is becoming more and more apparent that the health and livelihood of women are not priorities for our state's GOP. Joe Hohenstein will work to back policies that give women access to the resources they need to stay healthy and also reduce socioeconomic inequality against women.

Joe's platform focuses on:

Ensuring women have access to a full range of reproductive health care services, including safe and legal abortions, birth control and emergency contraceptives

Funding Planned Parenthood adequately so they can continue to provide these services inexpensively,

Supporting legislation to allow women to close the income gap and achieve equal pay

Backing legislation that will help to end violence against women and supporting the creation of a culture of belief of victims of violence and harassment
