Assemblywoman Patty Berg's support for reproductive health and her record of pro-choice voting has earned a 100 percent pro-choice rating from Planned Parenthood.

”I am honored to receive a high rating from Planned Parenthood,” Berg said, “Protecting reproductive rights and fighting for good reproductive health has always been a cornerstone in my career.”

A longtime advocate for reproductive rights, Berg co-founded CHOICES, Humboldt County's first pro-choice Political Action Committee, in the 1980s. She also developed the state's first kindergarten-12th grade family life education curriculum for public schools, which was distributed nationally.
