Reproductive Rights

Within days of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which over-turned Roe v. Wade and ended federal protection of women’s right to privacy, reproductive health, and bodily autonomy, I publicly announced my position in support of women's reproductive rights. 

 

Since that time, the prospects of a national abortion ban being passed following the 2022 general election spurred me to take an even stronger stance in support of women's reproductive rights.

 

If a national ban on abortion is passed, I pledge that as District Attorney I will never prosecute someone for seeking or getting an abortion. I will use my legal discretion and not prosecute anyone for seeking or getting an abortion, providing abortion care, or information.
