Your body. Your decision. Our fight.

This is not hypothetical. This is happening now.

Washington is dismantling reproductive rights. The Supreme Court overturned Roe. Congress is pushing a national abortion ban. Federal agencies are weaponizing data to track patients across state lines. And crisis pregnancy centers are spreading medical misinformation in our communities with zero oversight.

Massachusetts must be the firewall. Not in spirit. In law.

Remove all legal barriers

Abortion care is healthcare and healthcare is a fundamental human right. Patients and doctors should make the decision on whether to have an abortion based on each individual case. No politician should be in the room.

That is why I support removing all gestational limits and repealing the age limit on parental consent. No one should have to fly to Colorado or drive to Maryland to access an abortion in their third trimester. And no young person should have to obtain permission from a judge to access care.

Fund comprehensive reproductive care

Money should never be a barrier to accessing reproductive healthcare. I fight to both secure state funding for reproductive healthcare and require coverage by public and private health insurance of:

• Abortion care — medical and in-clinic, fully covered
• Telehealth — remote reproductive care access
• Gender-affirming care — full coverage, no exceptions
• Doulas and midwives — community-based maternity care

This includes full coverage for doulas and certified nurse midwives, creating and supporting freestanding birth centers, post-miscarriage mental health care, and community-based prenatal, maternity, and postpartum care.

Eliminate racial disparities in maternal health

This is the part that should make you angry.

Racial disparities in reproductive health are not only devastating but increased and widened over the past 10 years. Black women experience 2.5 times higher rates of complications than white women. In Massachusetts. In 2026. That is not a national statistic we can blame on other states. That is us.

We must fully implement all of the recommendations from the Special Commission on Racial Inequities in Maternal Health to eliminate these disparities and reverse the overall rise in maternal morbidity and complications in Massachusetts. Investing in community-based, holistic maternity and postpartum care is not optional. It is the intervention that works.

Protect patients from federal overreach

After the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, your location data became a weapon. Companies sell the cell phone location data of people visiting clinics. That information can be used for harassment, prosecution, and surveillance.

I am fighting to:

Pass the Location Shield Act, which will ban the sale of personal location data from cell phones. If you walk into a clinic, that is between you and your doctor. Not a data broker in Virginia.

Ban crisis pregnancy centers (also known as anti-abortion centers) that spread medical misinformation. These facilities exist to delay and discourage people from accessing care. They are not medical providers. They should not be allowed to operate as if they are.

Oppose TRAP laws (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) that impose medically unnecessary procedures and infrastructure requirements designed to shut down clinics, not protect patients.

What we have already delivered

This is not a wish list. We have been doing this work:

Immediately after Dobbs, we protected reproductive healthcare and gender-affirming services in the Commonwealth and established additional safeguards.

We required insurance coverage for abortion and abortion-related care without deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or other cost-sharing. We forbade MassHealth from charging cost-sharing for prenatal, childbirth, and postpartum care.

We expanded access to contraceptives and medication abortion and protected abortion providers, out-of-state patients, and insurers from prosecution.

We helped ensure that people who face grave circumstances after 24 weeks of pregnancy are not forced to leave Massachusetts to access reproductive healthcare.

We joined House colleagues in passing a bill that creates a state licensure pathway for midwives and lactation consultants and encourages the creation of more freestanding birth centers.

We responded to, and resolved, dozens of healthcare violations for trans people and women incarcerated in MA prisons to access gender-affirming care and reproductive care.
