Issue Position: On Choice: Preserving A Woman's Right to Choose

Issue Position

I believe a woman has a right to make her own health care choices. This right is guaranteed by the Constitution's right to privacy, as set forth by the United States Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. A woman's health care issues are between a woman and her doctor, and decisions concerning her health must remain with the woman. I am troubled that some women do not have access to information they need to make well-informed decisions about their health and reproductive choices, or that women who are old enough to face these decisions may not be treated as old enough to make them. We must continue to defend the rights of all women facing such difficult and supremely personal decisions.
