Issue Position: Women's Reproductive Healthcare

Issue Position

Reproductive rights are a constitutionally settled issue. The medical decisions surrounding pregnancy should be made solely and confidentially between a woman and her doctor and are of no business to anyone else, especially the government. It is unfortunate that in 2018 politicians are still debating whether or not adult human beings should have agency over their own bodies.

Furthermore, as a public health matter, I support the expansion of access to reproductive healthcare (including Planned Parenthood), age-appropriate sex education, sexual assault awareness and prevention, and birth control options in order to empower individuals and families to make informed and responsible choices about their bodies.
