Madison, Wis. –  Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin (PPAWI) released the following statement on the April 1 Supreme Court election from PPAWI President and CEO Tanya Atkinson.

“Tonight Wisconsin voters made clear their preference for the candidate who agrees with them on reproductive freedom. No matter what we look like or where we come from, most of us value our freedom to decide whether and when we start a family.

Justice-elect Susan Crawford’s victory demonstrates that a woman’s ability to make her own reproductive health care decisions matters to Wisconsin voters. Time and time again, voters have come together to protect reproductive freedom, and this is a moment to celebrate our collective power.

This election was defined by abortion and reproductive freedom. Like most recent statewide elections in Wisconsin, the outcome was determined by the engagement and enthusiasm among pro reproductive freedom voters. That engagement and enthusiasm has been driven by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin year-round civic engagement, policy, and communications work across our state. This programming has influenced voters’ conversations, steps the Wisconsin State Legislature is taking, and the media narrative about reproductive freedom.

The election results demonstrate that abortion access and which candidate made clear she supported it was clearly top of mind for voters all across the state.”
