Women's Health Care Availability
 

I want to thank those responsible for steps taken toward deciding on women's health care issues based on medicine and not politics. Women should be able to access all legal medical care and to make personal decisions consistent with their own values and in consultation with medical providers, not politicians.  

Women should have privacy from invasive government intrusion into their bodies and how they take care of them. It makes no sense to "limit government" in public spheres but to expand it in private areas, as some politicians have done in recent years. And, women (men and children, too, of course) should be able to obtain medical care reasonably, without undue expense or time off from work.
