Bill Foster for US Congress (IL 14)

Bill Foster is the father of two. He has a PhD from Harvard in physics and has been a successful businessman, as well as a scientist at Fermilab where he helped discover the top quark and design the giant accelerator. Last year Foster left Fermilab to volunteer as a staff member for Congressman Patrick Murphy of suburban Philadelphia.

Bill Foster is pro-choice and has filled out a Planned Parenthood questionnaire with 100% pro-choice answers.

"In Congress, I'll focus on expanding access to health care services for women and keeping government out of the personal lives of its citizens," Foster has pledged. Along these lines, Foster supports an increase in funding for the Title X family planning program and as Congressman would support efforts to restore and protect funding for international family planning.

Foster would also work to protect the right of a woman and her physician to make private health care decisions by opposing attempts to elevate the legal status of the fetus and by working to ensure Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land.
