Issue Position: Reproductive Rights and Women's Health

Issue Position

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 with near abortion bans passing in states across the country, it is more critical than ever 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.

As your Senator I have:

Supported & passed legislation to expand sexual education in Colorado, and ensure that curriculums are comprehensive and include consent.
Supported & passed legislation to ensure that women in the criminal justice system have access to feminine hygiene products.
As a member of the State Affairs committee in 2018, I helped defend a woman's right to choose by voting against a number bills involving personhood, heartbeat restrictions, and required dissemination of misinformation by healthcare providers to women considering abortion.
