Issue Position: Reproductive Rights

Issue Position

I support every woman's right to safe and legal abortion under the terms set out in the Roe vs. Wade decision. I support public funding for abortion services for low-income women. I oppose targeted restrictions on abortion access, including to teenagers.

I support funding for the Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment program. I support Medi-Cal reimbursement rates at a sustainable level. I also support the ability of Planned Parenthood Health Centers to provide services under the Affordable Care Act as well as public agency partnerships with Planned Parenthood health centers.

I support the teaching of comprehensive sexual health education, including information about both abstinence and contraception in public schools as well as confidential access to reproductive health services for minors.
