Rep. Carolyn Maloney
Rep. Carolyn Maloney is the Democratic candidate in the House of Representatives race in New York Congressional District 12. She is the incumbent.
Rep. Maloney is pro-choice.
NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC has endorsed Rep. Maloney.
Rep. Maloney earned a 100-percent score in NARAL Pro-Choice America's 2011 Congressional Record on Choice.
Voted twice against the proposal to block Planned Parenthood from receiving any federal funds, which would have denied millions of Americans access to contraception, cancer screenings, and other basic medical care.
Voted against H.R.3, a bill that would ban abortion coverage in state health-insurance exchanges; impose tax penalties on small businesses and many individuals who purchase private health plans that include abortion coverage; and make permanent several restrictions that block many women from accessing abortion care.
Voted to ensure that hospitals must provide emergency abortion care to women who could die without it.
Rep. Maloney said,"The right to choose is absolutely meaningless without access to choice, and H.R. 3 creates obstacles for women to access safe, legal, and constitutionally protected health care. This makes access to abortion coverage incredibly difficult, and I would say that the bill is not only an attack on women's rights, but it is also an attack on the rights of the private insurance companies and small businesses."
Candidate choice positions are determined by NARAL Pro-Choice America using current research. Choice positions are subject to change.
