The Democratic position on abortion is simple and mainstream. We want to ensure that every woman has the right to receive abortion care, should she need it.

We hear a lot of talk about freedom in this body, freedom to do what you want to do, and yet right now we are living at a time when half of our population or more has lost that freedom.
