Issue Position: Women's Reproductive Health

Issue Position

I support a woman's right to choose and believe that we need to protect that right, and improve resources for women to make that choice, without government interference. We need to fully fund women's health clinics and increase public support to improve facilities, particularly in underserved communities.

We need to reform our healthcare laws to increase our focus on women's health. This includes improving access for women in vulnerable situations to see top physicians and procuring services in a safe and uninhibited environment. It also means making sure that these services are fully covered under all employer-sponsored health plans, including in the public sector.

​

Finally, we need to fight the efforts of anti-choice advocates by properly educating the public on the benefits of investing in women's health across the board. This is something that I would put a regular focus on at town-halls and in other public-facing outreach, to ensure that our residents are aware of the services available.
