The Democratic Party Platform has this to say about women’s health:

“The Democratic Party strongly supports access to affordable family planning services and comprehensive age-appropriate sex education which empowers people to make informed choices and live healthy lives. We also recognize that such health care and education help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for abortions.”

While I understand that Republicans are (almost evenly) divided on the issue of abortion, can’t we all agree that it is best when individuals take responsibility for their own health care and have the tools they need to make the best decisions for their families? 

Just a woman and her family and her doctor.   Don’t invite the congressman into the equation.
