Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Is Threatening Abortion Access in Madison

As it stands, abortion access in Wisconsin is extremely limited. Of the 72 counties in the state, only three have abortion providers. That limited access hinges on the next few weeks. Any day now, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is expected to rule on the validity of an 1849 law which some interpret as an abortion ban. Meanwhile, national lawmakers are working on a budget reconciliation bill – One Big Beautiful Bill Act – which in part includes defunding Planned Parenthood. 

To understand what is at stake, host Bianca Martin spoke with Planned Parenthood Wisconsin’s CEO Tanya Atkinson and manager of Planned Parenthood - Madison South Health Center Tenisha Garner.
