Today in a press conference, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04), Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-05), and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin President Tanya Atkinson highlighted the ongoing impact of the Dobbs decision on women nationwide, provided an update on the state of abortion care access in Wisconsin, and shared the efforts at the federal level to enshrine reproductive rights in law and combat extreme MAGA abortion bans.
“I had an abortion before Roe, and access to this reproductive care ensured I wasn’t permanently mired in poverty and gave me the power to control my own destiny. Every woman should have the freedom to make their own health care decisions. I will use all my power as a federal lawmaker to help restore reproductive rights for women and push back against MAGA Republican efforts to ‘outban’ each other, said Congresswoman Moore.
“Wisconsinites should have the right to control their bodies and should be able to do so without unnecessary restrictions.
There is still a lot of work ahead of us. Having champions of reproductive healthcare in Congress matters, and we are so grateful to the leadership of Wisconsin Congresswoman Gwen Moore and Democratic Whip Katherine Clark,” said Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin President Tanya Atkinson.
