Support the RESPECT Women Act!

For the past six years, Wisconsin state legislators have passed laws that take information and options away from a woman and her family. These laws disregard medical science, the wellbeing of patients, and the patient-doctor relationship. This unprecedented political interference with a woman’s personal health care decisions undermines women’s health in Wisconsin. Sadly, Congress and the President are only worsening this trend on the national level.

Wisconsin women and their health care providers deserve better!

It’s time to introduce a bold, proactive reproductive health agenda in Wisconsin to push back against these state and federal attacks on access to comprehensive care. We’ve been on the defensive for too long. In fact, since 1973, Wisconsin has passed more than 20 laws against abortion, including laws that force physicians to provide women with medically inaccurate or unnecessary information, delay her decision, require tests she doesn’t need, and impose medically unnecessary requirements on consent, reporting, and physician admitting privileges.

The RESPECT Women Act promotes a vision that a woman has the ability and support to make her own reproductive healthcare decisions free from harassment, intimidation, political interference, or false information. That’s something we can all believe in!

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with representatives.

Message:

I believe patients have the right to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions free from harassment, intimidation, political interference, or false information.  As a result, I strongly urge you to support the Respect Women Act, which is a package of bills sponsored by Sen. Jon Erpenbach and Rep. Chris Taylor that would greatly improve access to comprehensive reproductive health care in Wisconsin. <br><br>The Respect Women Act contains three separate bills that would do the following: 1) LRB 3349 – Which would ensure Wisconsin women have access to comprehensive reproductive health by repealing existing abortion restrictions that are not grounded in medical science or widely accepted medical best practices; 2) LRB 3602 – Which would ensure all patients receive honest, medically accurate information when seeking health care and stop the practice of politicians dictating what doctors have to say to their patients; and, 3) LRB 3355 – Which would improve law enforcement training regarding effective response and prevention strategies to better address  harassment, intimidation and violence that is sometimes directed towards patients and providers at reproductive healthcare facilities.<br><br>As your constituent, I would like to encourage you to co-sponsor all three pieces of legislation so that Wisconsin can move towards reproductive health care policies that put women, not politics, first.  Thank you!
