PRIORITIES
Reproductive Freedom
Decisions about pregnancy are between a woman and her doctor. Not Congress. Roe v. Wade established a federal floor for almost fifty years. The Supreme Court took it away in 2022, and the result is a patchwork — a woman’s rights change at the state line. Members of Congress have introduced legislation that would impose a national abortion ban, and bills that define personhood at the moment of fertilization — which would ban abortion nationwide and put IVF and many forms of contraception at legal risk. Rob Wittman has cosponsored that legislation — the Life at Conception Act — in four Congresses, including as an original cosponsor in 2021. Jen and I have two daughters. They have fewer rights today than the day they were born. That’s not a country I’m willing to hand them.
I WILL:
- Vote for the Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the protections of Roe in federal law
- Vote for the Right to Contraception Act to protect access to birth control
- Protect IVF and fertility care
- Protect the doctors who provide that care
- Protect the right to travel for medical care
The politicians who pass these laws don’t live with them. Women do.
