Most women and girls don't even realize they're pregnant at 6 weeks, especially for those whose menstrual cycle is irregular. The decision no longer lies with a woman and her physician. The Government has decided for her.
As a father, a brother and a grandfather, I am outraged. I am outraged as a human being who believes in bodily autonomy. I am outraged because this is outrageous.
In addition, pregnancy complications such as placental abruption, placenta previa bleeding, fetal demise, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy often REQUIRE abortion to save the life or health of the mother. Under the ban, a physician faces criminal charges if he or she provides the necessary care. It's no wonder we are losing emergency room physicians and gynecologists to other states who no longer wish to practice under these impossible constraints.
We have already heard the horror stories - women who have been turned away at hospitals and ended up bleeding into waiting room toilets. Women who have been rushed to hospitals 700 miles away to get the emergency care they need. Imagine having to travel 700 while you are hemorrhaging and cramping and in shock.
This CANNOT stand. VOTE YES ON AMENDMENT 4 AND THEN VOTE ME INTO CONGRESS TO ENSURE THAT ROE VS. WADE IS ENSHRINED IN A FEDERAL LAW AND NOT LEFT TO THE STATES
Dan trusts women to make their own decisions concerning their bodies and their health.
He wants to preserve a woman's right to choose once and for all.
Face it, the cost of living in Florida is too high. Dan will work to make living more affordable on all levels: housing, property insurance, rent, child care and food prices.
And of course, a key part of affordability is Universal Healthcare. Dan will fight to make that a reality.
He is also committed to preserving Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Dan believes all people should be FREE
- to live in clean air and water
- to live in safety
- to exercise bodily autonomy
- to love and marry who they wish
- to read whatever they want
- to learn unedited history
