Survey of 2022 Senate campaign websites: on Abortion
Alex Lasry:
Ensure access to abortion and reproductive care
Like the majority of Wisconsinites, I believe that every person should have autonomy over their reproductive health. In the U.S. Senate, I will fight to ensure that everyone has access to inclusive, high-quality, and affordable healthcare, and that
includes abortion and reproductive care. Abortion remains safe and legal in Wisconsin, and I will work at the federal level to make sure that our laws protect these essential rights, regardless of who is sitting on the Supreme Court.
I will also defend against the continued efforts to limit funding for Planned Parenthood and other reproductive healthcare facilities that provide affordable care to people across the country. I am extremely proud of my wife, Lauren, for her work at
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin to ensure that access to health care--from birth control and cancer screenings, to safe, legal abortion--is protected for individuals and families across Wisconsin

Cheri Beasley:
Repeal Hyde Amendment; codify Roe v. Wade
With urgent threats to reproductive freedom before the U.S. Supreme Court, and hundreds of laws passed across the country aimed at restricting reproductive freedom,
Cheri believes the Senate must take action to protect women's constitutional rights. In addition to repealing the Hyde Amendment, she supports the Women's Health Protection Act, which would codify
Roe v. Wade and protect reproductive rights so that women can get the care they need no matter where they live.
Cheri will also fight to protect and expand access to women's reproductive health care services and supports federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

Chris Van Hollen:
Co-sponsored bill protecting right to travel for abortion
Senator Chris Van Hollen joined Senators Catherine Cortez Masto, Sheldon Whitehouse, Patty Murray, and Kirsten Gillibrand in introducing the Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2022. This legislation would make it crystal clear that it is illegal
for anti-choice states to limit travel for abortion services and would empower the Attorney General and impacted individuals to bring civil action against those who restrict a woman's right to cross state lines to receive legal reproductive care.

Pro-choice but focus on sex ed & access to contraceptives
We need to make sure that every American child has the proper sex education, as well as access to contraceptives.
By doing these two simple things we can end most unwanted pregnancies and then we would no longer have an abortion debate. Abortion should NOT be used as a form of birth control, but it should be available.
