Roe v. Wade is the law – an established, well-founded legal precedent. Senators should not just support the Constitutional right to choose in general statements, but work actively to defend its implementation.

Jonathan is committed to defend the law through proposed legislation and through the power of advice and consent on judicial appointments.

But a just society requires that women not only have full rights of reproductive choice, but enjoy feasible opportunities to implement their choice. These opportunities need to include:

-- The complete range of reproductive health services for women - health screening to reduce infertility, all pregnancy control options, and availability of abortion services

-- Early pregnancy interventions such as Plan B, the program to allow the “morning-after pill” that ends possible pregnancy to be available over-the-counter at pharmacies

-- The FDA-approved RU 486 (the non-surgical” or “medical” abortion drug), a program that has suffered since its inception from constant ideological interference

-- U.S. Senate action against extremist Supreme Court justices installed by the President for the purpose of ending women’s established right to choose

Jonathan is 100% supportive of civil rights for everyone. That means 100% support for the right of the individual to make their own decisions for his or her own body.
