protecting reproductive freedom

Greg Stanton trusts women to make their own health care decisions.

Greg Stanton believes decisions about pregnancy, contraception, IVF and reproductive health care belong to women, families and doctors, not politicians.

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, women have been denied emergency care. Doctors have been threatened with prosecution. Families have worried about whether IVF will remain available. Pharmacists and politicians have looked for new ways to block access to birth control and medication abortion.

Greg is fighting back relentlessly. He supports restoring federal abortion protections, protecting the right to contraception, defending IVF and family-building care, stopping the Comstock Act from being used as a backdoor national abortion ban, and protecting reproductive care for veterans.

Greg believes doctors should be able to treat patients without political threats, and families should be able to make deeply personal decisions about abortion, contraception and IVF without extremists in government standing in the way.

Arizona families deserve freedom, privacy and dignity in their health care decisions, and Greg Stanton will never stop fighting to protect those rights.

• Cosponsored the Right to Contraception Act to guarantee the right to obtain and use birth control and protect health care providers who prescribe or provide contraception.

• Voted against anti-abortion legislation that would interfere with doctors’ medical judgment, impose one-size-fits-all mandates on complex medical situations, and threaten providers with criminal penalties or loss of licensure for delivering evidence-based care.
