ISSUES

Fight for
Women’s
Rights
When we are in the White House, we are going to
protect a woman’s right to control her own body.
That is her decision, not the government's.

Key Points
Adopt Equal Pay for Equal Work through the Paycheck Fairness Act.

Guarantee health care through Medicare for All, repeal the Hyde Amendment
and fully fund Planned Parenthood, Title X, and other initiatives that protect
women’s health, access to contraception, and the availability of a safe and legal
abortion.

Oppose all efforts to undermine or overturn Roe v. Wade, and appoint federal
judges who will uphold women’s most fundamental rights.

Fight to end sexual harassment, discrimination, and violence in workplaces, the

military, and other institutions.

Details
Despite major advances in civil and political rights, our country still has a long way to
go in addressing the issues of gender inequality and reproductive freedom. Right
now, extreme forces on the right are launching political attacks and passing draconian
laws at both the state and national level with the goal of ending a woman’s right to
choose. We must fight back together, and defend a woman’s right to control her own
body and economic future. When we are in the White House, we will:

Adopt Equal Pay for Equal Work through the Paycheck Fairness Act.

Fully fund Planned Parenthood, Title X, and other initiatives that protect
women’s health, access to contraception, and the availability of a safe and legal
abortion.

Expand the WIC program for pregnant mothers, infants, and children.

Oppose all efforts to undermine or overturn Roe v. Wade, and appoint federal
judges who will uphold women’s most fundamental rights.

Immediately reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

Pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

Fight to end sexual harassment in workplaces, the military, and other

institutions.

Protect women from harassment, discrimination, and violence in educational

institutions by protecting and enforcing Title IX.
