Women's Rights

Reproductive Rights

Every medical decision, including those related to reproductive health and abortion, should be made between a patient and their provider, free from government interference. I am committed to protecting a woman's right to access quality reproductive healthcare and will fight to keep those decisions where they belong: in the hands of patients and their doctors.

Women's Health Funding

For too long, women's health has been an afterthought in medical research and discovery. I support robust federal investment in studies, treatments, and education focused on women's health particularly in areas that have been historically underfunded. This includes research into heart disease and stroke symptom differences, menopause care, breast cancer detection, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, menstrual health, and cervical cancer. Women deserve healthcare that is built around them.

Parental Leave

I support establishing a federal paid parental leave program that guarantees all workers at least 8 weeks of paid leave. Every parent deserves the opportunity to bond with and care for a new child whether through birth or adoption. Women also deserve adequate time to physically recover from childbirth. Parental leave should be inclusive, accessible, and available to all.
