In response to reader question, saddened that Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade

Thank you, Siouxzie B. Salisbury, from Balboa Island, for asking your questions in a recent edition of Stu News Newport. Like tens of millions of women coast-to-coast, I was shocked and saddened when the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, wiping out nearly 50 years of protection for women. As for my vote this fall, I am 100% in favor of the amendment protecting women’s equality in California.   

When it comes to the future of women in California, in general, and women who live in the 72nd Assembly District, in particular, I am guessing my opponent and I couldn’t be further apart on the two issues you raised. No matter how little you have been involved in politics in the past, I urge you – and women of all ages who live in Newport, Laguna, Huntington Beach and Seal Beach for example – to join me in protecting women’s fundamental rights and freedom.

I’m glad you asked your questions.

Judie Mancuso

Candidate for Assembly District 72
