And so I've been fighting to advance the Women's Health Protection Act. I think that is the response that we must pursue to the chaos that we're seeing right now in our state, where I've heard harrowing stories about people bleeding out, people risking their fertility, risking their lives, because that health care is not available in 69 out of our 72 counties [in Wisconsin]. Do you think you have the votes to make that happen? I believe that there is a majority in the Senate that is supportive of the Women's Health Protection act. (08:09–08:37)
