Where they stand:

According to the Planned Parenthood Voter Guide, David Carlucci has score of 100%, indicating “alignment with Planned Parenthood’s public policy positions on a range of reproductive and sexual health issues.”

He was also given a thumbs-up, “good” vote for his support of the Women’s Equality Act, even though the Senate never fully took up a vote on the abortion expansion (10th point.)

He also sponsored the so-called Boss Bill” (S6578A-2013) — legislation that would prevent a religious employer from refusing to provide health insurance that included coverage of birth control and abortifacient drugs because that would be a form of discrimination against women.
