Reproductive Freedom

Steve believes in women's unrestricted reproductive freedom.  Nobody is better qualified than the involved women to make decisions concerning birth control, maintaining or terminating a pregnancy or any other matter relating to a woman's physical and mental health.   

"Abortions should be safe and rare," says Steve, "and experience shows that making them illegal does not make them safe or rare." 

Steve believes the best way to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion is through age appropriate sex education in our schools and increasing the options available to women i.e., contraception, pre-natal care, child care and nutrition programs, and adoption programs.

Steve supports funding to increase access to reproductive health care.
