- "I support reproductive equality for all genders and believe reproductive health should be accessible and equal under the law.

Wade protects the privacy of those decisions and that privacy must be protected under the law at the federal level. Abortion is healthcare and must be legally and medically accessible in every state." (www.pennyronning.com)
