Beto O'Rourke releases plan to protect and expand women's reproductive rights
Good stuff! More at the link
Beto ORourke laid out a plan to mobilize every branch of government to protect Roe v. Wade and defend the right of American women to make decisions about their own bodies.
There is a nationwide assault on womens reproductive freedom. State legislatures many dominated by male politicians are undertaking a concerted effort to interfere with a womans constitutionally-protected right to make her own health care decisions and limit womens access to quality health care, including contraception and abortion. These increasingly radical and dangerous plans cannot be tolerated and, as president, Beto would leverage all three branches of the federal government to defend a womans right to choose, reverse and prevent laws and actions restricting womens reproductive freedom, and increase funding for contraceptive care.
EXECUTIVE
Put the full force of the Presidency behind defending womens reproductive rights and expanding womens access to health care
- Appoint an Attorney General who would protect a womans constitutional right under Roe v. Wade to access the health care she needs and deserves in any litigation on this issue, including opposing any unconstitutional TRAP laws and attempts to hide behind religious liberty to limit a womans health care options.
- Reverse the Trump Administrations gag rule banning doctors from telling women how they can safely and legally access abortion.
- Put forth a budget that includes increased Title X funding for womens health and includes no restrictions on the use of federal health care funds for abortions as is the case right now under the Hyde Amendment. Such restrictions disproportionately affect women of color and women in underserved communities from accessing abortion.
- Remove scientifically unsound FDA labeling regulations that impose barriers to the use of medication-based abortions.
