It’s been a long week, folks.
When the Supreme Court’s draft opinion on Roe v. Wade was leaked, I jumped into action immediately to defend reproductive rights for the people of Wisconsin and our country.
I’m a firm believer in safe and legal access to abortion which is why introduced the Women’s Health Protection Act last summer. By codifying Roe v. Wade into law, this crucial piece of legislation is the most comprehensive policy on reproductive reform right now. It makes Roe the law of the land and it contains key protections to prevent future challenges from right-wing politicians.
I’m urging my Senate colleagues to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act immediately so we can ensure safe and legal abortion access is guaranteed to every American — no matter what the Court decides. But I know it’s going to be an uphill battle to get this bill passed with Mitch McConnell leveraging the filibuster to rule from the minority.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not giving up and I hope you won't either.
With everything that’s going on, it’s so important to me that I hear directly from you. Can you spare a minute (or two!) and take my May Priorities Survey? I want to ensure I’m fighting for the issues that matter most to you and your family.
Thank you for your feedback. It helps more than you know.
