“Tom Kean Jr. has shown time and again that he does not trust women to make their own personal healthcare decisions,” said Malinowski. “The stakes this November cannot be higher. I support a woman’s right to choose. Kean Jr. has consistently opposed it. His election would virtually guarantee a House majority that would impose a nationwide abortion ban. The voters of the 7th district can and will prevent that this November.”
