“Republican legislators have made rolling back women’s health protections a focus of their extreme agenda. I don’t know why the attack on women’s health and lives continues on a regular basis, but I do know it flies in the face of the personal freedom and individual rights protections Republicans say they care about,” said Senator Erpenbach. The Respect Women Act includes three bills that: · Ensure Wisconsin women have access to comprehensive reproductive health care by repealing existing abortion restrictions that are not grounded in medical science or widely accepted as medical best practices. · Ensure all patients receive honest, medically accurate information when seeking health care by prohibiting politicians from dictating the medically inaccurate information doctors must provide to their patients. · Improve law enforcement training opportunities regarding effective prevention strategies to address harassment, intimidation and violence that is directed towards patients and providers at reproductive healthcare facilities.
