	Jennifer Wexton on Abortion

Women's access to reproductive and contraceptive services

Q: What do you propose to ensure high quality, affordable and accessible health care for all Americans?

Jennifer T. Wexton: I believe access to affordable healthcare is a right for all Americans. In the State Senate, I have fought alongside fellow Democrats for a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions and to more easily access reproductive and contraceptive services. I have also been a champion for mental health reform and combating the heroin and opioid crisis in Virginia.
