Women's Rights
"We need equitable and updated labor protections for women; because all people deserve to be compensated equitably to their peers for the same work performed."
-Mark Bignell
Reproductive Freedom
I will work to preserve the unenumerated and inalienable right of women to control their own bodies, their own care and their liberty. I will absolutely support and promote legislation that protects all women's rights and will advance healthcare reform.
Protecting Women's Lives—Through Good Public Health Policy
I will promote the health, well being, education, support, and preventative care of all women. Legislation and court decisions which prohibit/ban/regulate the bodily autonomy only drives people to dangerous alternatives. A return to the immoral and unconstitutional bans against reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy will not accomplish the stated goals of those bans and is backed up by the horrendous lessons of history.

- Repeal the unconstitutional and antiquated 1931 PA 328 Michigan Statute that bans a woman's right to bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom.
- Draft and enact a bill that establishes Reproductive Care Amnesty within Michigan for those who seek care within the state. The bill would increase privacy protections within Michigan, while also providing a path of legal remedies for women and care providers facing financial harms/suits over their care.

- I support scientifically accurate, comprehensive sex education as part of the core curriculum for public schools.
- I support preventative care clinics that serve and provide care to historically underserved communities.
- I support the expansion of public healthcare program funding and grants, which help cover the gaps in the existing health care coverage for various health clinics across Michigan.
