The threats to reproductive freedom have never been greater. When Donald Trump’s far-right Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Arizona Republicans passed bans on abortion in our state, I fought hard to pass Proposition 139 to restore the right to choose for all Arizonans.
My fight to protect reproductive healthcare didn’t start there however––I’ve been fighting for abortion access for my entire career. I proudly served as Planned Parenthood’s Latino Outreach Director for Raíz, their national Latino voter outreach and education program. Then, in the State Legislature, I spent six years fighting back against extremist bills to ban abortion completely. The stakes in this election couldn’t be clearer: we are fighting a Republican majority in Congress hellbent on restricting access to abortion and robbing women of their rights. We must fight back to keep politicians out of our personal health care decisions.
