“The legislation put forth by my Republican’s colleagues is both out of touch and out of line with the people of Wisconsin. The bill builds on a law that was passed over 170 years ago - before women were allowed to vote and when people were allowed to be owned for their labor. “Republicans are simply flailing after suffering unexpected defeat during last year’s midterm elections, in large part because of their draconian position on abortion access. The proposed legislation is misguided and wholly inadequate. They are sorely mistaken in their hopes that it will placate Wisconsin women.” “Any legislation that does not provide a woman with autonomy of her own body and her own healthcare decisions is a nonstarter for my caucus. Abortion care is healthcare.” |
