Protect a woman's Constitutional right to health decisions

Q: What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

A: Protecting freedom, especially a woman's Constitutional right to make whatever private decisions are best for her health and her family and her future--including the right to abortion and the right to decide whether or when to have a family--without interference from any government or politician.

Hardliners won't stop at merely restricting abortion

He said the attempts in Montana to restrict access to reproductive health care won't stop at merely restricting abortion rights but will likely expand to restricting people from going to other states for health care, which he described as "medieval." Increasingly there have been calls among hardline Republicans in the U.S. to restrict access to contraception, or even roll back laws allowing no-fault divorce, and Busse said he's worried that Montana Republicans may follow suit.

State abortion restrictions threaten women's health care

Busse suggested that Republicans are vulnerable in the state after failing to keep housing prices affordable, not taking action to prevent potential property tax increases and threatening women's health care by passing several abortion restrictions.
