1st Woman to Graduate from The Citadel
As the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, the military college of South Carolina, I might know a thing or two about equality and women’s rights. I’m also the first republican woman ever elected to serve in Congress from the state of South Carolina. This historical event happened 100 years after women’s suffrage. It took us 100 years to elect a female republican to Congress from our state!
Knowing the challenges for women from all walks of life, I am very clear in my positions protecting women and women’s rights. We can do anything as long as we set our mind to it, have a dream, set our goals and work hard to achieve. We can do anything!
Women’s Rights In Sports
Biological men should not compete against women and girls in sports. It’s a total about face today, to see so-called feminists, like our opponent, support stripping away women’s rights in sports.
Where are the feminists now?
Growing up I was a competitive swimmer and runner and I have a daughter athlete today. Biological men have completely unfair physical advantages over women and girls. Women have worked so hard to break so many barriers, I do not support biological men taking away women’s rights in sports.
Finding Common Ground After Roe
We can and we should seek to find common ground after the Dobbs decision. There is a way to protect women’s rights and life.
The radical view of abortions for any reason up until birth is barbaric and not supported by the vast majority of Americans. Some say, that doesn’t ever happen. But the fact is, up to 10,000 late term abortions happen every year. At the same time, however, there is no consensus on banning any and all abortions outright.
We need to elect those who acknowledge humanity, who acknowledge the challenges facing women and girls today, while also providing the resources to help women and girls everywhere.
Rape Survivors
As a survivor of sexual assault, I also understand the incredible hardships both physically and emotionally. These scars can last a lifetime. I will always support victims of rape and incest, as well as support crisis pregnancy centers to help struggling pregnant moms.
I was raped when I was 16. This moment changed my life forever. And this perspective is largely missing from those writing the laws we live by. Here are some thoughts on finding common ground after Roe.
This includes:
- Protecting all exceptions for the life of the mother and women and girls who are victims of rape and incest.
- Ensuring women’s access to all forms of contraception, over the counter and without a doctor’s visit.
- Protecting invitro fertilization, D&C procedures for miscarriages, emergency contraception.
