We need to act now to guarantee women have that freedom.\u201d\nThe Women\u2019s Health Protection Act:\n \nCreates federal protections against state restrictions that fail to protect women\u2019s health and intrude upon personal decision-making.\nPromotes and protects a woman\u2019s individual constitutional rights.\nEnsures women the decision to make their own responsible health care decisions, no matter where they live.\n \n\nWisconsin support for the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act\n\u201cPlanned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin knows that women are more than capable of making their own personal, medical decisions without consulting their legislator.\u00a0 Everyone deserves the freedom to plan their own families, make their own health care decisions and access essential, affordable health care.

It is clear that we need federal protection from these unwarranted intrusions into our personal health care decisions.\u00a0 We are grateful to Senator Baldwin for recognizing this unprecedented state-by-state legislative offensive and taking action to provide that needed protection through introduction of the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act of 2013.\u201d -\u00a0 Eve Galanter, Chair, Wisconsin Women's Network", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20131126111923/http://www.baldwin.senate.gov/blog/introducing-the-womens-health-protection-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7417720519006252, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
