Issue Position: Fight for Women's Rights

Issue Position

In honor of the Black women who have advanced the conversation around Reproductive Justice, I pledge to amplify their work. The conversation needs to extend beyond just a "right to choose" and into a place where we craft legislation that protects a woman's bodily autonomy and allows the decision of when to start a family to remain a personal choice.

In addition to securing access to safe and legal abortion regardless of ability to pay and geographic location, we should also strive for folks to have access to affordable and free birth control, comprehensive sex education, STI prevention and care, alternative birth options and adequate prenatal and pregnancy care. Families of all backgrounds deserve to thrive in safe and sustainable communities -- free of violence and economic hardships.
