Cherlynn Stevenson’s Plan to Restore Reproductive Freedom and Protect Women’s Health Care

Trust Women. Protect Care. Restore Freedom.

Cherlynn believes that decisions about reproductive health belong to women, not politicians.

Right now, women in Kentucky and across the country have seen their rights stripped away. Politicians have stepped into deeply personal medical decisions, creating confusion, fear, and real harm for families and providers.

That’s not who we should be.

Cherlynn will fight to restore reproductive freedom and ensure that every woman has access to the full spectrum of care—from contraception to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum support.

Comprehensive, Common-Sense Care

Restore the Right to Choose Nationwide

Cherlynn will support federal legislation to restore Roe v. Wade protections—ensuring that women can make their own decisions about abortion care without government interference.

  • Protect access to safe, legal abortion

  • Ensure decisions are made by patients and doctors—not politicians

Bottom line: This is about freedom, privacy, and dignity.

Guarantee Access to Contraception

Access to birth control is basic health care.

Cherlynn will:

  • Protect the right to access all forms of contraception

  • Lower costs and expand coverage through insurance and federal programs

  • Ensure no one is denied care based on where they live

Because planning a family should never depend on your zip code.

Protect the Full Continuum of Reproductive Care

Reproductive health doesn’t start or stop with one decision—it’s a continuum.

Cherlynn will fight to ensure access to:

  • Preventive care and screenings

  • Fertility care and family planning services

  • Prenatal care and safe childbirth

  • Postpartum care, including mental health support

Healthy moms and healthy babies require consistent, quality care every step of the way.

Support Providers and Protect Patients

Doctors and nurses should be able to do their jobs without fear of political interference.

Cherlynn will:

  • Protect providers from criminalization

  • Ensure hospitals and clinics can offer full, evidence-based care

  • Expand access in rural and underserved communities

Expand Coverage Through Medicaid and Federal Programs

Cherlynn opposes cuts to Medicaid and supports expanding coverage for reproductive and maternal health care.

  • Extend postpartum Medicaid coverage

  • Ensure low-income women can access the care they need

  • Invest in maternal health to reduce preventable deaths

Because access to care shouldn’t depend on your income.

Why This Matters?

This is about more than policy—it’s about real lives.

  • Women forced to travel for care

  • Doctors unable to provide treatment in emergencies

  • Families navigating uncertainty during some of the most difficult moments of their lives

We can and must do better.

Cherlynn’s Commitment

“I trust women to make their own decisions. I trust doctors to provide care. And I trust families to know what’s best for them. In Congress, I will fight to restore those rights and make sure every woman has access to the care she needs—no matter where she lives.”

The Bottom Line

  • Restore the right to choose

  • Protect access to contraception

  • Ensure care from start to finish

  • Support women, families, and providers

Because freedom means having both the right to decide—and the care to follow through safely.
