TODAY: Baldwin Fights Back Against Republicans’ Relentless Attacks on Women’s Reproductive Rights
Baldwin: “Today, we’re not just marking three years since Roe v. Wade was overturned. We’re marking three years of my Republican colleagues actively blocking any progress to restore the right to choose.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) marked the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision to overturn Roe v. Wade by introducing legislation to restore abortion access nationwide and continuing her fight against attacks from the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress to strip away access to comprehensive reproductive care.
To begin the day, Senator Baldwin led the entire Senate Democratic caucus in introducing the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2025, legislation to guarantee access to abortion everywhere across the country and restore the right to comprehensive reproductive health care for millions of Americans.
On the Senate floor, Senator Baldwin delivered a speech underscoring the impact of the Dobbs decision in Wisconsin – forcing women to travel out of state just to access health care. Baldwin highlighted the importance of passing her legislation, especially as the Trump Administration further attacks a woman’s right to choose and Congressional Republicans barrel ahead with a bill that defunds Planned Parenthood.
Additionally, Senator Baldwin joined her Senate colleagues for a press conference and hosted a forum focused on the devastation caused by the Dobbs decision. During the forum, Senator Baldwin questioned advocates and providers about why federal protection is essential for improving care for women nationwide and how the Republicans’ dangerous bill will make it harder for women to access reproductive health care both under Medicaid and private insurance.
