As Women’s Health Week continues, experts in Wisconsin and elsewhere are reminding women to prioritize their well-being.
There are 41 women serving in Wisconsin’s state legislature this session, making up 31% of the 132-member body.
Recent reports have shown that Tim Michels, the Republican nominee for governor, has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ organizations.
Healthcare providers in Wisconsin are stuck between what is best for their patients and what complies with the law following Dobbs v. Jackson, the US Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade’s precedent.
Since the ruling, Wisconsin’s 1849 law that banned almost all abortions, has immediately taken into effect again, adding a multitude of restrictions and possible penalties.
President Joe Biden acknowledged that the potential decision in Dobbs would have consequences for other civil and human rights issues.
