Always defend woman's right to make own health decisions

Q: What should happen if the court overturns Roe v. Wade?

Greenfield: I know that there are strong feelings on both sides of this issue, absolutely. And I believe Roe is settled law. I will always defend a woman's right to make her own health care decisions with the guidance of her doctor. And I actually will defend all people to make their own health care decisions with their doctors and will continue to defend it regardless of where we go in the future.
