Another women's issue to consider in this race is the issue of reproductive rights. According to a Project Vote-Smart survey, Winkel believes abortion should only be allowed in cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is in danger. In contrast to Winkel's anti-choice point of view, Ennen defends a woman's right to choose. Ennen especially believes that if she does chose the option of abortion, she should have access to a safe, clean procedure regardless of her income. These issues demonstrate why it is crucial to have women such as Ennen in Springfield.
Women represent women's interests better than men and they make great leaders.
For the most part, women have to be more personally concerned about job security, reproductive rights, discrimination, personal safety, children's welfare and health care. As legislators, women can make these issues they personally confront part of their legislative agenda. Kathy Ennen is no exception. As a strong supporter of labor and women's issues, Kathy Ennen will make an excellent representative for the 103rd District. The final point I'd like to end this series with that will hopefully remind everyone to vote this fall and to vote for Kathy Ennen is that, for the most part I don't have a ton of respect for politicians.
