Reproductive Healthcare in Wisconsin

Monday October 7

6:30-8:00 p.m.

Navigating reproductive and abortion care in Wisconsin since the 2022 Dobbs decision has hinged around an 1849 law, full abortion prohibition, and court rulings. The League will host a virtual webinar to assess the current status of this issue. LWV of Wisconsin President Dorothy Skye, a retired OB-GYN physician, will moderate the speakers panel in an informed, unscripted and compelling discussion. 
 
This free virtual presentation is open to anyone interested. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Register HERE.
