As a member of the Pro-Choice Caucus, Congresswoman Sanchez has consistently worked to protect a woman’s right to choose. She has introduced legislation to restore freedom of choice to women serving in the armed services outside the United States. This legislation affects more than 100,000 women, including active service members and the wives of military personnel who live on American military bases overseas. Congresswoman Sanchez is proud that no public funds would be used for procedures abroad.

Domestic Violence
Congresswoman Sanchez is directly responsible for creating the Defense Task Force on Domestic Violence. The Task Force was established to review and evaluate current programs and policies associated with domestic violence in the Department of Defense. The findings of the three-year study, due to be completed in 2003, will provide the Secretary of Defense with a comprehensive report and a plan that augments our current efforts to eliminate domestic violence within the military. Furthermore, the task force findings will help in our national efforts to address domestic violence in our communities.
