Wisconsin Legislation

2007-08 Legislative Session


Focus on Women's Health


  • Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin is excited to embark on a new legislative session in which women's health advocates have made huge gains in both the State Senate and State Assembly.

    PPAWI will be pursuing a strong pro-active prevention agenda during the 2007-08 Legislative Session including:




  • Increasing access to cervical cancer screening and treatment
  • Maintaining and expanding the Healthy Women Program
  • Increasing access to birth control, including emergency contraception,
    without harassment or delay

2007-08 Wisconsin Senate

15 pro-choice legislators (all Democrats)
5 mixed-voting legislators (3 Democrats and 2 Republicans)
13 anti-choice and anti-birth control legislators (all Republicans)

We look forward to working with the new pro-choice leaders and legislators in the Senate to advance pro-choice legislation.

2007-08 Wisconsin Assembly

39 pro-choice legislators (all Democrats)
5 mixed-voting legislators (all Democrats)
55 anti-choice and anti-birth control legislators

There continues to be no Republican representatives who support access to safe, legal abortion.
