Michelle Lujan-Grisham on Abortion
|
Oppose any limit on woman's right to choose
Michelle is absolutely committed to supporting a woman's right to choose and will strongly oppose any move to limit access to that right.The right to choose has been a fundamental right enjoyed by women for more than two generations. But today that
right is more tenuous than it has ever been because of repeated attempts by Republicans to turn back the clock on women and families. Michelle is life-long supporter of women's reproductive rights.
