Reproductive Rights
In Congress and through my work as Planned Parenthood Columbia-Willamette Board Secretary, I will continue to protect abortion access and expand reproductive rights, ensuring individuals can receive comprehensive reproductive health care and can make their own decisions about their bodies and reproductive futures. That includes:
- Fighting back against the baseless bans. I will oppose and work to overturn harmful and medically unnecessary abortion bans, including late-term abortion bans, heartbeat bills, and other restrictions that limit access to reproductive health care.
- Expanding access to reproductive health care services. Advocate for policies that expand access to comprehensive reproductive health care services, including abortion, contraception, STI testing, and family planning, ensuring individuals can make their own health care decisions.
- Combating misinformation. I will work to end the stigma and misinformation surrounding reproductive health care by promoting accurate information, destigmatizing abortion, and elevating the voices and experiences of individuals accessing reproductive services. This includes comprehensive sex education programs in schools that provide accurate information about reproductive health, contraception, consent, and healthy relationships.
