Kirk an advocate for women's health

I believe that in making one's choice for Illinois' Senate election in November, we should consider Mark Kirk's strong record in supporting women's health.

I have personally dealt with the issue of breast cancer with the passing of a close relative. I am proud that Mark Kirk supports stem cell research and has been an advocate of increasing funds to the National Institutes of Health to help save the lives of many women who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

Mark Kirk has consistently displayed strong compassion for women's health in his political career, and he has my vote for Senate in November.
