Protecting women’s reproductive rights and improving access to reproductive health care
This is simple. Politicians should not be making private health care decisions for women. Oregonians can always count on me to stand up for reproductive rights and work to increase access to family planning and health care services for all women, particularly low-income women and those with geographic barriers.
Unfortunately, the Trump administration and most Republicans are determined to roll back women’s reproductive rights, defund Planned Parenthood, and block access to health care. They refuse to acknowledge that access to contraceptives and reproductive health care are proven to reduce health costs for individuals and the health care system as a whole, as well as reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and abortions.
Throughout my time in Congress, I have fought against each and every effort to overturn Roe vs. Wade or defund Planned Parenthood. Oregonians can trust me to stand up for women’s rights, to fight for access to contraception, and to protect Planned Parenthood. I am incredibly honored to have the endorsement of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL, and to have earned Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon’s Marilyn Epstein Pro-Choice Champion Award.
