We know that the right to choose should not be divvied up among states. And that the sinister practice of taking constitutional rights and allowing each state to decide the quality of your citizenship is wrong. Women deserve bodily autonomy.

And it is wrong, and as the next governor I`m going to do everything in my power to reverse it.
