David Buchwald has always been a strong advocate for women’s rights. He believes in protecting a woman's ability to make her own healthcare decisions, equal pay for equal work, and ensuring protections in the workplace. As an Assemblymember, Buchwald co-sponsored the New York Reproductive Health Act, protecting a woman’s right to choose. And he helped New York State provide Planned Parenthood with a funding backstop in case the federal government went after its funding, which recently kicked into effect when the Trump Administration blocked the group from receiving Title X funds.
