One would think we wouldn't still be having the conversation about a woman's access to birth control and the right to make decisions about what's best for her health and family. But, we are. And that's why it's even more critical to have strong voices in the legislature ready to stop conservative politicians from getting in between decisions best left to a woman and her doctor.
Further, we shouldn't only be standing our ground, but also moving forward and expanding access to comprehensive birth control. For instance, the government should fund the successful and proven program that provides IUDs for low-income women in Colorado. This program is a no brainer--it saves money, reduces teen pregnancies, and reduces the number of abortions.
