Our bill makes it clear that states can no longer enact laws that unduly limit access to reproductive health services and do nothing to further women’s health or safety. Every women in America deserves the freedom to plan their own families, make their own health care decisions and access essential, quality women’s health care services. We need to act now to guarantee women have that freedom.” The Women’s Health Protection Act: Creates federal protections against state restrictions that fail to protect women’s health and intrude upon personal decision-making. Promotes and protects a woman’s individual constitutional rights. Ensures women the decision to make their own responsible health care decisions, no matter where they live. Wisconsin support for the Women’s Health Protection Act “Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin knows that women are more than capable of making their own personal, medical decisions without consulting their legislator. Everyone deserves the freedom to plan their own families, make their own health care decisions and access essential, affordable health care. We applaud Senator Baldwin’s leadership on this important bill and for caring more about women than about politics.” - Nicole Safar, Public Policy Director, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin "Women deserve access to affordable, comprehensive health care and services when they need it. It's time to trust women and allow them to make their personal health care decisions with their trusted health professional without political interference. The Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health applauds the introduction of the Women's Health Protection Act and supports these and all efforts to ensure every woman has the access to the comprehensive health care she needs and deserves." - Sara Finger, Executive Director, Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health “Women in Wisconsin know first-hand the devastating impact of being subjected to a barrage of harmful and unnecessary legislative restrictions that make it progressively impossible to access essential reproductive health care services. It is clear that we need federal protection from these unwarranted intrusions into our personal health care decisions. 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’s Health Protection Act of 2013.” - Eve Galanter, Chair, Wisconsin Women's Network | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
