Let’s meet

Vanessa Vaughn West

Candidate for State Rep,
Kansas House District 39

Democrat

The proof:

“Reproductive Freedom Abortion care is health care and health care is a human right. Women should have access to affordable reproductive health care, including safe and legal abortions. It is vital for women and girls to have access to birth control pills and other contraceptive medications. I understand women and girls deserve healthcare privacy to have a choice of treatment for all medical conditions, including pregnancy. However, political extremists will continue to push harsh and unjust state laws in Kansas, such as Amendment 2, which will hinder reproductive health and rights. I will fight for Kansas women to maintain autonomous control of our own bodies and medical care. I will also work to ensure that no child or adult is forced into a decision regarding their pregnancy.”
