I saved someone’s life today by performing an abortion.

I would like to understand what this “abortion up until the time of birth” that Republicans keep talking about really means. As a seasoned OB/GYN doctor and abortion provider with over 18 years of medical education, training, and practice, I’m not familiar with it.

Minnesotans are making history while Wisconsinites are languishing in 1849
We passed the PRO Act off the Senate floor! After 15 hours of debate, we are tired but jubilant. When
@GovTimWalz
signs it, the right to make individual, autonomous decisions about reproductive healthcare, including abortion, will be codified into Minnesota law.

Truth. I am beyond ready to come home and start providing full spectrum reproductive health care, including abortions, for my fellow Wisconsinites.
While it’s “uncomfortable” to resume abortion care before the judge issues a final ruling, a Wisconsin abortion provider told me today that she's ready to do so.
"I have to trust the people on my team," she said. "I'm willing to put my career on the line."

Rob Cowles (SD 2) is the longest serving state senator in Wisconsin, first elected in 1986. Here’s his district, with his home located at the “O”, just across the Fox River from the rest of the district.
