Reproductive Rights Roundtable - Congressman Peter Welch.

Published | Video Starts at 03:07

Our governor said that he will support that. And, you know, it's great if in Vermont, the citizens protect reproductive freedom for women by approving Proposition 5. And of course in Congress, I voted for the Women's Health Protection act, and that would get through the Senate except for the filibuster. But as important as it is for us to pass Proposition 5 here in Vermont. When I talk to women in Vermont, they don't think reproductive freedom should be based on your zip code. (03:07–03:13)
