This would detrimentally limit Planned Parenthood leaving insufficient funds to protect women's sexual health (DeBonis, 2). Paul Ryan, current Speaker of the House, says that he would “defund Planned Parenthood and have Congress allow anti-abortion states to exclude abortion providers from their medicaid plans.” Leaving millions of women stranded without vital sexual health providers. However, democrats such as Nancy Pelosi are “going to stand against this with every fiber of our being” (DeBonis 3). The article then says, “the consequences are real...I know that Republican women here don’t want their party to be known as the party who takes away a woman's ability to choose” (DeBonis 4).

It slashes Medicaid, which 1 in 5 women of reproductive age rely on for care, including birth control and cancer

The senator Barbara Boxer has her ideas about abortion and military protection and so do the

The underlying issues in both cases are racial discrimination. For Cheryl Boulden in the affirmative action case the issue is being “an African American woman among the good ol’ boys in Indiana.” She was recruited because of race and her permanent handicap was seen as an asset for a diversity program lacking any. Yet these qualities made her a target of racism. Susan Finn’s ethnic discrimination presents a dilemma of how to deal with a contract physician’s abusive behavior “toward Hispanics and female staff as well as patients” (Reeves, 2006, p. 79). While the issues of racial and gender discrimination is not unusual, the failure of these agencies to address multiple complaints is.

De Leon's work on bills to improve college's reaction to sexual violence and to provide more confidentiality to victims is an important step in protecting victims of sexual assault. A year later, he added a bill to the legislature that would require public high schools to include sexual assault prevention in their health classes. A strong believer in a woman's right to control her own healthcare, he has fought to protect Planned Parenthood, even as the Congress attempts to slash its funding. His promotion of single payer healthcare has particular resonance for women, as it will provide women with children easier and cheaper access to healthcare. Focusing on these accomplishments, he can make inroads with women voters. De Leon should make appearances at Planned Parenthood fundraisers and look to appear on television or meet with groups who run TV and billboard ads for Planned Parenthood.

De Leon's legislative work has illustrated that he wants to work with and for women, but his former

One of them was in California’s rural 21st Congressional District between Republican incumbent David Valadao who had been in office since 2012 and Democrat and newcomer Amanda Rentira. The district was won by President Barack Obama by 11.1 percent in 2012 and 6 percent in 2008, so the Democrats saw hope and potential for Rentira.
