Pro-Woman, Pro-Choice
My plan
+ Comprehensive Sexual Education
Comprehensive sex education must be included in K-12 curriculum. The words penis and vagina should be as common as nose, ears, and eyes.
+ Work Equity for Women
- Women must be guaranteed job related accommodations for pregnancy, and paid medical and family leave expanded to all American workers.
- Affordable childcare, full-day pre-K, free school breakfast and lunch, and after school care/programs need to be funded.
- Increasing the minimum wage increases all wages so that a single income family can provided for the basic essentials without relying on government programs.
- Working people should not have to use food stamps, subsidized housing and other programs to make ends meet.
+ Birth Control Access for All
Access to birth control, including emergency birth control and first trimester abortions, must be part of any healthcare proposal.
+ Create and Pass a New ERA
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) must be modified to guarantee equality regardless of biological sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation and then put forward for ratification again.
More Background
You cannot talk about equality without saying that you trust women to make choices about their own body. Being pro-woman means educating young people about their bodies, including their reproductive systems and their sexuality. They should be able to use this knowledge to decide and control when and if they choose to have children. That means we support single women with children, married women with children, women with 6 children, and women with no children. Women must feel empowered to say no, mean it, and have it respected and they must also feel free to say yes.
