Reproductive Rights Committee


Our Vision

We desire a world where all people have full autonomy over their bodies with equitable access to reproductive healthcare regardless of social-economic status.

The League of Women Voters of the United States believes that public policy in a pluralistic society must affirm the constitutional right of privacy of the individual to make reproductive choices.

Our Goals
Our Objectives
Our Strategy


Codify the right to all reproductive freedoms, including abortion-healthcare, in the Wisconsin Constitution by 2030.

Continually ensure affordable and available access to reproductive healthcare for all Wisconsinites.


The 2025 Battle: Protect our existing reproductive rights which is expected to be determined by the WI State Supreme Court in 2025. 

The 2026-2028 Battles: Elect state officials who will support citizen-lead ballot referendums or vote to allow legislative ballot referendums on reproductive rights.

The 2026-2029 Battles: Maintain WI State Supreme Court balance.


Continue to educate the community how reproductive rights are a key factor to women’s socioeconomic well-being and overall health.


Monitor related legislation and court actions at the state level, educate the community on these actions, and create calls to action to support or oppose proposed legislation.


Support state lobbyist activities.


Collaborate with other local and state organizations to create more powerful messaging and mobilization throughout WI.


Engage reproductive-age women in the fight

Listen to Stevie Nicks…..


“You've gotta get in the game

You've gotta learn how to play

You've gotta make a change, you've gotta do it today.

In the midnight hour, they'll slam the door

Make you forget what you were fighting for

Put you back in your place, they'll shut ya down

You better learn how to fight

You better say it out loud”
