This week, Pete Buttigieg released his plan to build lasting power for women across the country. Americans agree: it’s the boldest plan out there. Here are some of our favorite responses so far.

The South Bend, Indiana mayor says he will commit to nominating a cabinet and judiciary that is at least half women as well as prioritizing diversity in all presidential appointments across federal agencies, commissions and boards.

On Thursday, [Buttigieg] released a 26-page agenda focused entirely on women’s rights. It’s one of the most detailed plans focused on women so far in the Democratic primary…All in all, Buttigieg’s campaign seems to have a deep understanding of some of the biggest challenges women are facing.

As Mayor of South Bend, Pete has repeatedly shown his understanding of the challenges women face, as well as his ability to get things done…And at a moment when women’s ability to control their own health care decisions are under attack, he prevented a crisis pregnancy center from opening next to an abortion clinic, appreciating how much harder that would make it for women making difficult personal decisions…Pete empowered me to reach my full potential, and as president he will ensure millions of others can do the same.

The proposal would fight gender inequity by focusing on the pay gap, protecting abortion rights, bringing gender parity to Cabinet and judicial appointments, ending the maternal mortality crisis and guaranteeing 12 weeks of parental leave. It also includes measures to eradicate sexual and domestic violence.

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg promises to nominate women to at least 50 percent of all Cabinet and judicial posts and spend $10 billion to end workplace sexual harassment and discrimination in a new plan released Thursday.

Buttigieg said he would invest $10 billion to end workplace sexual harassment and discrimination against women, ensure equal pay for work, give Americans access to 12 weeks of paid family leave and make high-quality child care available free to low-income families and affordable for all.

From health care to the economy to safety, every issue is a woman’s issue. So empowering women requires a comprehensive approach that touches every aspect of our society — and that is exactly what Pete Buttigieg’s latest plan does. His far-reaching policy recognizes what it means to be a woman in today’s society.

It’s a bold plan that highlights just how far America currently is from achieving gender equality and how it could become a leader on this front…He also plans to reduce the closure of obstetric units through payment reforms and encourage medical providers to serve patients in rural and tribal areas

The South Bend, Ind. mayor’s multi-pronged platform promises to address the gender pay gap and workplace discrimination and support women-owned businesses…His plan would also ban forced arbitration and non-disclosure clauses, treat workplace violence as a safety issue and double funding to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to enable it to fully investigate claims and address potential employment discrimination patterns.
