Reproductive Freedom

I serve as a member of the Assembly Committee on Health, and have had a role on the front lines of protecting Wisconsinites constitution rights and reproduction freedoms. The government should not be in our doctor’s offices–the government has gotten far too big when it is making our medical decisions for us. I trust my constituents to make their own medical decisions, and I will continue to stand up for your right to do just that!

At a time when abortion rights are under attack all across the country, we have a responsibility as a legislature to stand up for reproductive freedom, and I will continue to do exactly that!

Roe v. Wade

After the fall of Roe v. Wade, I joined my Democratic colleagues to introduce the Restore Roe Act to repeal Wisconsin’s archaic 1849 criminal abortion ban and enshrine the protections of Roe into state law.

My Democratic colleagues and I introduced the Abortion Rights Preservation Act this legislative session. This bill repeals the 1849 criminal abortion ban and repeals a number of restrictions that prevent access to healthcare and puts women’s lives in danger.

Latest Republican Abortion Bans

Rather than take up the Abortion Rights Preservation Act, Republican lawmakers introduced more abortion bans. And this is what happens with a Republican majority: Wisconsin women have less access to healthcare.

Mifepristone Access

Mifepristone is a safe and effective medication that has been FDA approved for decades. A Trump-appointed judge overturned the approval of Mifepristone, an attempt to ban one of two FDA approved abortion medications. I, alongside legislators from 49 states, wrote a letter in protest of this attack of reproductive freedom.

Forward Together

We must live and legislate with empathy and compassion, and in this case that means overturning the archaic, dangerous, and unjust ban that went into effect when Roe v. Wade fell, and Restore Roe.
