Issues and Legislation

People facing an unintended pregnancy must have access to safe, legal abortion services.

Abortion is currently legal in Wisconsin. However, access is still limited by numerous state laws that create unnecessary barriers to care. Freedom isn't just about whether abortion is legal — it's about whether people can actually access the care they need.

Health care is essential — not political. 

Everyone deserves access to affordable reproductive and sexual health care, regardless of income, insurance status, or ZIP code. That includes birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, HIV prevention, gender-affirming care, pregnancy care, and abortion. 

We're fighting for policies that strengthen — not weaken — Wisconsin's health care system. Because when people can access preventive care, families are healthier and communities are stronger. 

Preventive reproductive care — including birth control — is basic health care. Every person deserves the power to plan their future. 

Birth control allows people to decide if and when to become parents, pursue education, build careers, and care for their families. 

We support affordable access to the full range of FDA-approved contraception and oppose efforts that allow politics or ideology to interfere with evidence-based health care. 

Planning your future should always be your decision. 

Where you live should never determine the care you receive. Too many Wisconsinites face barriers because of race, income, geography, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or immigration status. 

We believe reproductive freedom means more than legal rights.

It means everyone has a meaningful opportunity to receive high-quality health care. 

We're working to reduce disparities, improve access, and ensure every community can thrive. 

For years, politicians in our state legislature and Congress have attacked Planned Parenthood’s patients’ access to health care.  
 
When politicians talk about “defunding” Planned Parenthood, they really mean blocking patients who depend on public health care funds from getting their care at Planned Parenthood health centers. Many of these patients are people with low incomes who don’t have health insurance, or who rely on public health care funding like Medicaid. 
 
Attempts to block these patients from getting care here keeps them from getting critical preventive services, like birth control, lifesaving cancer screenings, and STD testing and treatment.

Everyone deserves access to sex education. Sex education, when done right, transforms lives, communities, and society at large.

Sex education should be taught by trained educators and cover a wide range of topics, including relationships, decision-making, communication, gender identity, body image, birth control, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 

Politicians in states across the country are attacking access to reproductive health care and sex education through dangerous bills, regulations, and executive actions. These attacks include attempting to "defund" Planned Parenthood health centers, limit health care coverage for birth control, and promote abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. Foes of safe, legal abortion also have stepped up their use of state legislation to thwart personal, private medical decisions about pregnancy that are best left between patients and doctors.

In 2024, Wisconsin's Republican-controlled Assembly passed a 14-week abortion ban that was later vetoed by Governor Evers. The consistent attacks from legislative Republicans on our rights and freedoms is disruptive to health care.

In order to live in a true democracy where all voices are heard and represented, we must secure voting rights for everyone.

Voter suppression takes power away from historically oppressed communities. People of color, LGBTQ+ communities, students, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes all face growing obstacles to voting for candidates and on issues they care about. This is no coincidence. If people want to preserve and expand access to sexual and reproductive health care, they need their voting rights protected and their ballots counted.
