Reproductive Justice

Freedom over one's own body is essential. I have also been a leader in progressive policy to reduce disparities in maternal health in Massachusetts, as much work is needed to close race and income-based disparities in maternal health care. I'm extremely proud of my success last session in expanding access to midwifery care and creating a professional licensure process.  

A critical component of reproductive justice is abortion care, and any person seeking an abortion should be able to make that decision with the support of a trusted medical provider, without interference from lawmakers or fear of legal repercussions. I am deeply proud to use my experience as a scholar in reproductive justice and the law to protect and advance reproductive freedom and the right to choose here in Massachusetts.

In December 2024, I convened an expert panel to discuss the past, present and future of abortion access and reproductive freedom in Massachusetts and as a country.
