What We Believe
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin deeply believes that all individuals should have the information and means to decide the number and spacing of their children, and that all women, men, and teens should have access to basic preventive health care. PPAWI engages in legislative and educational activity, and works to elect candidates who support these goals to state and federal offices.
Legislative Advocacy
