Human Rights
I oppose all forms of torture, indefinite detention, depriving persons of attorneys and the right to a speedy trial, Guantanamo and any and all detention camps;
I oppose capital punishment;
I oppose corporal punishment, whether by parents, school officials or caregivers;
Instate a moratorium on the hiring of male guards in female prisons and jails. There is currently an epidemic of rape and sexual assault of women prisoners by male guards throughout the country. Women prisoners who report these attacks are punished via yet more attacks. Male guards should constitute no more than 10 percent of guards in any women’s prison;
I oppose all nonconsensual surgical procedures to include circumcision, female genital mutilation, infibulation, surgeries on persons born with ambiguous genitalia (intersex persons), sterilizations, and procedures such as the “Ashley treatment” performed on developmentally disabled persons.
The Patriot Act should be repealed.
