Over the last 40 years, politicians across the country have been increasingly chipping away at the constitutional rights guaranteed under Roe v. Wade.
Tammy Baldwin
The Public Record
Tammy Baldwin is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from Wisconsin since January 3, 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, she made history as the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to the U.S. Senate. Baldwin previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 6, 1999, to January 3, 2013, representing Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district. Throughout her career, she has focused on issues such as healthcare, education, and economic opportunity for all Americans.
Americans across the country expect to have access to high-quality, dependable health care when they and their families need it.
It is not the job of politicians to play doctor and to dictate how professionals practice medicine.
I don't think we should be distracted from the opportunity that we have to get the fix done this year.
Congress is responsible for enforcing every American's fundamental rights guaranteed by our Constitution.
The Women's Health Protection Act would prohibit these laws that undermine and infringe on a woman's constitutional rights guaranteed under Roe v. Wade.
In my home State of Wisconsin, we are now ranked as one of the worst States when it comes to women's reproductive rights thanks to the restrictive measures enacted by our Governor and our legislature.
There is no Federal law that specifically addresses discrimination in education based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
This legislation would add to the important protections that we're already discussing today.
I view ROTC programs as standing at the intersection between the crisis of sexual assaults in the military and the issue of sexual assault on campus.
Same-sex sexual violence has certainly not always been taken seriously by law enforcement.
