To Support Virginians in Their Ability to Make Their Own Reproductive Healthcare Decisions and Have Real Access to Comprehensive Reproductive Healthcare

Statement of Intent To support Virginians in their ability to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions and have real access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare. Reproductive rights are under attack across the country and existentially threatened by the current federal Admin- istration. Virginia legislators have an obligation to both protect and expand reproductive rights in the Common- wealth and to be the bulwark against encroachments on these rights from wherever they may come. As a representative of the people of Virginia, duly elected to govern on behalf of all Virginians, I promise that I will fight to: • Defend a person's right to make personal, private reproductive health decisions, including whether to choose or refuse contraception, carry a pregnancy to term or have an abortion. • Protect and improve affordable access to the full range of contraceptive services and options for all Virginians, including emergency contraception. • Protect reproductive health through scientifically and medically accurate, age-appropriate, effective sexuality education and access to family planning and birth control. • Protect a person’s ability to have healthy pregnancies and births, including her right to parent her children or to choose adoption. • Address inequities in reproductive health care access, particularly those that disproportionately affect low- income people and people of color. • Defend a person’s right to access reproductive health care free from intimidation, threats, coercion, or vio- lence. • Support a Constitutional Amendment to the Virginia Constitution enshrining the human right to bodily autono- my and reproductive choice.
