Health Care & Reproductive Rights

Everyone deserves access to the health care they need, when they need it —including reproductive health care.

Abortion

Abortion allows people to make the best decisions for their lives, their families, and their futures. Our laws and policies should ensure affordable and available abortion care.

Birth Control

Everyone should have access to the birth control they want and need, without any barriers standing in their way.

General Health Care & Coverage

Our health care system must guarantee that people get the health care they need, free from discrimination and without cost as a barrier.

Refusals of Care & Discrimination

A health care provider’s personal beliefs should never dictate health care – a patient’s health must always come first.
