A convergence of policy ideas between two of the 23 Democratic presidential candidates has progressives giddy over what some are calling a dream ticket pairing that could revive the flagging fortunes of two contenders mired in low single digits in the polls.
One of these candidates is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) who unveiled a proposal that would require insurance companies to provide fertility treatments. She explained her idea would usher in full reproductive freedom rights for everyone. As it now stands, persons who cannot conceive are blocked from enjoying the right to abortion. It is fundamentally unfair that those who arent fertile should be denied access to this right. If I am elected I will immediately order those who can afford to purchase health insurance to include fertility treatments in the package of benefits. For those who cant afford to buy their own coverage I will extend medicaid to cover this benefit.
Meanwhile, Sen. Cory Booker (NJ) promises voters that if hes elected he will establish a special White House office to promote abortion on day one of my Administration. When it comes to public policy, I always ask myself: what would Spartacus have done. Clearly, he would have wanted to free every woman from the slavery of child birth and child rearing. Today, many women are denied their right to abortion. Conflicting messages in the media create uncertainty as to whether she should or shouldnt get an abortion. My White House office will alleviate uncertainty by using a presidents access to the media to broadcast an unmixed message of a womans unalienable right to terminate her pregnancy at any time before she takes the baby home from the hospital.
Planned Parenthood spokesperson Adora Slaughter called for a merging of these two candidates highly compatible policy platforms into a dream ticket that will bring this issue to the forefront of the 2020 campaign. Their ideas break new ground and fills a gap in conventional views on the issue. They unshackle our thinking from the old safe and rare trope that more aged candidates like Clinton and Biden have used in the past. With Booker at around 3% and Gillibrand at less than 1% in the polls maybe a Booker/Gillibrand ticket can help elevate both of them and increase the odds of abortion remaining an unconstrained right for the foreseeable future.

In the next wave, those who refused to marry will demand the right to divorce, and those who refused to conceive will demand the right to abort.
