Location: https://www.c-span.org/video/?461882-4/planned-parenthood-candidates-forum-part-2

Use the section (last section of the video) of Beto O’Rourke

Date: June 22, 2019

This is information from my previous assignment, that can possibly be used for this one:

Congressman Beto O’Rourke,

I am proposing policies for strict disciplinary action for full access to Planned Parenthood, focusing on women’s reproductive healthcare.

It is essential for women to have proper reproductive healthcare, such as screenings, preventative measures, medications, birth control, as well as abortion rights. Women should be able to decide when they want to bring in a new life into this world or not, and no one should decide for them. Immigrant women should also be provided with healthcare, follow the laws of the United States, and be treated as a human being. After having watched the Planned Parenthood Candidate Forum Part 2, I am totally for the visions that Congressman Beto O’Rourke described. Another issue, related to healthcare, is the lack of ability for healthcare providers to afford healthcare themselves, which affects me due to the fact that I am a registered nurse, in the healthcare field, also struggling with affordable healthcare.

O’Rourke mentioned his promises to elevate the power of unions, living wages, provide universal, high quality healthcare, primary healthcare, as well as mental healthcare. Something else that should be offered is sex education, in order to help decrease unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases in our country. By supporting the empowerment of women and access to family planning, you’re also helping protect the health of our planet and other species.

I am seeking approval for such policies in favor for access to women’s reproductive healthcare, and fully funding Planned Parenthood because of the following reasons:

• Reproductive rights are fundamental human rights. Many women seek access to contraception and are not able to get it.
• Approximately 45% of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned. Having access to reproductive healthcare and extensive sex education aids to being responsible of making concrete reproductive decisions.
• If access to contraception is increased and easily available, this will lead to a decrease in unplanned pregnancies. The more birth-control options that are available, the better these women will be able to find a method that is a perfect fit for them.
