Issue Position: Women's Health

Issue Position

Women's health affects the economic future for communities and all families. In 2011, The Texas legislature deeply cut the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Family Planning Program, which has destroyed the low-cost clinic network for Texan women. 53 women's health clinics have been forced to close their doors since then. Unlike our opponent who has voted to defund clinics like Planned Parenthood, which provide lifesaving cancer screenings and general healthcare, Julie will make sure every woman in Texas has the ability to have a healthy life and plan for healthy families.
