2. While I certainly respect the right of every woman to choose her own reproductive path -- whether that's abortion, adoption, parenting or none of the above -- I fundamentally disagree with the notion that (predominantly male) lawmakers should legislate women's bodies.
3. Every woman, regardless of geography, political affiliation or economic status, should have the right to decide if & when to enter motherhood, not have it foisted upon them.

8. Abortion is a decision to be made by a woman and her physician (and potentially her God if she’s religious).
It is not for the government to decide and it certainly is for no one to judge.
#Trustwomen We will make the right choice for her health and her unique situation.
