In Her Own Words
"I believe women's health care decisions should be made between a woman, her doctor, and her faith -- not DC politicians.” 1
"The Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress want to turn back the clock on women's health and eliminate vital funding for Planned Parenthood, denying thousands of women access to lifesaving cancer screening and affordable health care. We can't let this happen." 2
