A: Support--When Governor Rick Scott and the Republican legislature tried to defund Planned Parenthood, Andrew called them out for jeopardizing women's health with ideological games. As Governor, Andrew will stop the Legislature from using women's health as a political football. Andrew trusts women to make their own healthcare decisions with their doctor-- not politicians--and he will oppose any attempt to make it harder for women to access quality healthcare.
