About this listen

The Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs has shocked and energized women across America as they suddenly find themselves stripped of healthcare rights they’ve been granted since the 1970s. Ruth Czuprynski, Deputy Campaign Manager for Santos for Wisconsin, questions Lorenzo Santos about those rights, what positions his GOP opponent Bryan Steil holds on bodily autonomy, and what Lorenzo will do once he’s serving WI-01 in Washington to restore those rights.
