2020 NC Senatorial race: on Abortion


Cal Cunningham: Politicians have no place between woman and her doctor

Cal believes that a woman's choice is a woman's right. That's why he will always defend Roe v. Wade against partisan attacks and knows there is no place for a politician in a conversation between a woman and her doctor. Cal believes in ensuring women have access to reproductive care, and he is strongly opposed to partisan efforts in Washington to attack and defund Planned Parenthood. Endorsed by Planned Parenthood and NARAL for his commitment to protecting women's health care.
