Women’s Healthcare

Logo for LuAnn Bird, supporting 61st Assembly, with text 'Raising the Issue of Women's Health' and a pink arrow pointing upward with a small blue feather.

Doctors need the freedom to save lives. Limits and unclear laws about what a doctor can and cannot do about difficult pregnancies cause unnecessary delays, suffering, and death. Now, access to safe IVF treatments and birth control for families is also being threatened.

I support trusting women and their doctors. I support giving women control over their own bodies. I support bodily autonomy for everyone.

Legislators are not qualified to determine if and when a woman can have an abortion — that’s the expertise of a doctor. We must stop government interference in women's health care decisions.
