Roe v. Wade achieved a measure of reproductive justice
With each generation, we have revisited our fundamental truths, and where we falter, we make amends. America achieved a measure of reproductive justice in Roe v. Wade, but we must never forget it is immoral to allow politicians to harm women
and families to advance a political agenda. We affirmed marriage equality, and yet, the LGBTQ community remains under attack.
Our progress has always found refuge in the basic instinct of the American experiment--to do right by our people.

Stacey will leverage state and federal programs to incentivize more doctors and medical personnel to locate in under-served areas, and she will work with practitioners to reduce our maternal and infant mortality rates and increase access to care.
