Repeal the Hyde Amendment
We call for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment and all other legislation that limits access to abortion services, thus denying "the right to choose" to millions of women, particularly low-income women, women of color, and young women.
We demand full reproductive freedom for all women by removing all discriminating barriers to reproductive rights and reproductive health care.

Defend women’s reproductive rights & abortion on demand
Women’s rights are under attack at the federal and state levels. The La Riva/Puryear presidential campaign demands full reproductive rights for women, including the right to free, safe and legal abortions on demand.
Women’s clinics must be defended, and anti-choice bigots who attempt to deny women control of their bodies must be prosecuted. Access to free, quality health care and prenatal care, and access to free contraceptives is necessary.
