I believe strongly in protecting women’s reproductive freedom. I am proud that Delaware codified Roe v. Wade in our state constitution (2017) to ensure that women’s healthcare decisions are made in the privacy of a doctor’s office and not by politicians in Dover or Washington, DC.

A clear majority of Americans and Delawareans believe that women have the right to fundamental privacy that protects their right to decide what happens to their bodies.

Moreover, women’s lives are on the line. In the states that have invaded women’s privacy and restricted reproductive freedom since the 2022 Dobbs decision, we now see that women are not receiving medically-necessary reproductive health care.

I will advocate for measures to support women’s reproductive privacy and freedom such as the work underway in Delaware to seek improved outcomes for women who have a disturbingly higher incidence of death through childbirth (e.g., women of color, lower economic means).  That means advocating to secure Delaware as a haven from so-called ‘restrictive’ states.
