Issue Position: Reproductive Rights

Issue Position

Healthcare is a universal right, and abortion is healthcare. However, this year we have witnessed a coordinated attack against women's healthcare in North Carolina and in many other state legislatures across our country. In North Carolina, legislators introduced legislation that would ban abortion after 13 weeks of pregnancy (HB 28), interfere in conversations between women and their doctors (H 22), criminalize healthcare procedures (HB 54), and peddle false information about "reversing abortions." (HB 53). These legislative attacks stigmatize abortion and vilify doctors and nurses who provide necessary medical care. I promise to fight against legislation like this as your representative in the NC House.

I understand that the decision to have an abortion is deeply personal. As your NC House Representative, I am working to make sure that the General Assembly stays out of examination rooms. We must protect a woman's right to speak with her doctor openly and freely. In short, I promise to fight for women's reproductive rights at every turn. We cannot back down when our rights to healthcare and bodily autonomy are at stake.
