Wisconsin U.S. Senate Debate

Published | Video Starts at 16:12

Senator Baldwin, you will respond first. You have 60 seconds. Well, a woman's rights and freedoms should not depend upon her zip code or state. In the state of Wisconsin, where we have a criminal abortion ban that was passed in the year 1849, we have services accessible in three out of our 72 counties. That means 69 counties. There is no access. And harrowing things are happening to women in this state. I've talked to women who face the risk of sepsis and near death. (16:12–16:24)
