Reproductive Choice

Women's reproductive decisions should be left to them and their doctors.

In Congress, I would fight for increases in Title X funding for low income women, as well as funding for international programs to support family planning. Anti-family planning lawmakers have targeted these programs and have succeeded in cutting the budget for the United Nations Population Fund and other programs.

Not only am I strongly pro-choice, but as a state senator I fought for contraceptive equality, to improve access to women's health care and to make Roe v. Wade a permanent part of Maine law. I've also worked to stop any effort to limit women's access to reproductive services.
