Podcasts about planned parenthood advocates

This week we dig into the federal and state budget battles, and the question of a 3rd term for Governor Tony Evers, with special guests Dan Shafer of the Recombobulation Area and Civic Media, and Steven Webb from Planned Parenthood. We open with a discussion of the critical importance of Juneteenth this year, as DEI is under attack by the Trump Administration, and some cities and businesses pull back from supporting local celebrations. Robert provides a simple explanation of how the new U.S. Senate budget bill is even worse on Medicaid than the House budget bill, and it particularly damages rural hospitals. We update listeners on the latest State Budget news, including Speaker Vos' continuing crusade to force Governor Evers' hand with slashing cuts to UW System funding. The plot thickens because Senate Republicans can't pass a budget without UW cuts or they will lose the most right-wing members of their caucus, Senators Kapanga & Nass. In addition, to serious tactical disagreements with the governor on how to win his state budget priorities the public supports by huge margins, like properly funding public schools, expanding BadgerCare, funding child care and closing Green Bay, their is now a serious discussion about whether it is time for Governor Evers to lead by a timely passing of the torch to the next generation of Democratic leaders and not running for Governor in 2026. We welcome award winning Milwaukee area journalist, Dan Shafer, founder of The Recombobulation Area and now part of the Civic Media network, who makes the case that it's time to pass the Torch and Tony Evers should not run for a third term as governor. He argues Wisconsin's governor needs to do what so many other Democrats have failed to do and step aside when the time is right. We close the show with Citizen Action board member, Steven Webb, who is the executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, to discuss the devastating cuts to healthcare in the federal Budget bills that will damage Planned Parenthood's ability to provide vital frontline healthcare to Wisconsinites. Steve tells us how you can also get involved in organizing with PPAWI to fight back.

Planned Parenthood Advocates' annual state gathering in Sarpy County was postponed out of an abundance of caution for staff, supporters and community, according to the group's website. State Sen. Ashlei Spivey, an abortion rights advocate in the Nebraska Legislature, was scheduled to be the event's keynote speaker. She says the news coming out of Minnesota this week was terrifying.

It's Friday and the weekend, starts here. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul had a victory for AmeriCorps, as well as the state against The Felon President. And it looks like the film industry is one step closer to getting help from the state if creators want to make movies here. And it seems the Big Bill For Billionaires couldn't sink lower, just wait, because pets are next. Then, we are joined by Michelle Velasquez Chief Strategy Officer of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin on how the aforementioned bill is looking to strip away funding for Planned Parenthood via Medicaid. And then if you're looking to get a dog this summer, places like The Wisconsin Humane Society, MADACC and HAWS are all in need of help. Whether it's finding a forever home for your new best friend or fostering, the Humane Society is running a special which makes it very affordable to get a new buddy.

The two new leaders of Oregon’s Planned Parenthood affiliates are pushing to dissolve the political arm of their organization in a move that has blindsided some long-time advocates and has them worried about the future of reproductive rights in the state. Oregon has two Planned Parenthood affiliates. They provide reproductive health care, including abortion access, but do not engage in political work such as lobbying or campaigns. Last week, the leaders of those two affiliates sent a letter to the two groups’ political advocacy arm. They informed the lobbying group’s governing board that they plan to dissolve Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon and restructure the organization to focus more on “health care and advocating for the needs of the Planned Parenthood affiliates and their patients.” Lauren Dake, OPB political reporter, joins us to talk about the rift in the organization. 

Carrie Noni highlights some of the most powerful conversations she has had with health justice advocates, who fight for equality and rights of all.

We also talked about the ongoing fight in Wisconsin over abortion access, as the Legislature debated last week imposing a 14-week abortion ban.That included this state Legislator comparing women to animals.

This week's Left of Lansing Short deals with how Democratic State House Rep. Karen Whitsett from the 4th district in Detroit not only voted against the Reproductive Health Act in House Health Policy Committee this week, but she's signaling she's vote against the RHA when it comes to a vote on the House floor! And with Democrats holding a narrow lead in the House, that would very well defeat the bill.  To hear an even more lenghty discussion of the bill, please listen to to Episode 53 with Ashlea Phenicie, VP of Communications and Interim VP of Public Policy for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan and Planned Parenthood of Michigan.  It's one thing for MAGA Christian Nationalist Republicans to vote to push women's health and economic rights back to the 19th Century. But it's a betrayal when a so-called "Democrat" joins in that effort.  --Pat leftoflansing.com leftoflansing@gmail.com 

The "Friday Short" highlights the Reproductive Freedom Act, which Democratic State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky formally introduced this week. The RFA would reverse many hurtful abortion access restrictions put in place by Republicans through the years as they tried to enact their view of Christian Nationalism on the rest of the state.  Please, listen to this week's Left of Lansing episode with Ashlea Phenicie, VP of Communications and Interim VP of Public Policy for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan and Planned Parenthood of Michigan, as we discuss the RFA in more detail.  --Pat leftoflansing.com leftoflansing@gmail.com 

It's the 53rd installment of Michigan's premier progressive podcast! I start out mocking the right wing Michigan Republican Party for claiming to care about working Michiganders on this past Labor Day. Then, I talk about the latest from the nutty right wing Ottawa Impact faction, which is working to defund the Ottawa County health department all because it took steps to protect its citizens during the pandemic. I conclude my monologue by highlighting that while the right wing is busy trying to hurt Michigan and her citizens, progressive policies are doing the exact opposite.  Governor Gretchen Whitmer made her key "What's Next" speech last week, calling on the state legislature to pass bills for cleaner energy, codifying major parts of the Affordable Care Act, paid family and medical leave, and for passage of the Reproductive Health Act. The RHA would reverse many of the Republican draconian laws which made it difficult for women trying to find abortion access. Ashlea Phenicie, VP of Communications and Interim VP of Public Policy for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan and Planned Parenthood of Michigan joins me to talk about the RHA, and other reproductive issues in the second segment.  The Last Call deals with former Michigan Republican Congressman Mike Rogers, who announced his candidacy for the state's open U.S. Senate seat in '24.  Thanks for listening, and please, give the Left of Lansing a good review, and subscribe! And take the battle to them! leftoflansing.com leftoflansing@gmail.com

It will be partly sunny, with a high near 87. Winds from the northwest, 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation at 30%. Then tonight, mostly clear, with a low around 64. Police are investigating after a shots-fired incident Saturday injured one in southeast Cedar Rapids. At 2:34 p.m., police were dispatched to the 800 block of 16th Street SE for a report of shots fired, according to a city public safety news release. In the 800 block of Camburn Court SE, one block to the west, they found evidence of multiple shots fired but no victim in the area. Soon after police arrived, a person with a single gunshot wound to the shoulder arrived at a hospital by private vehicle. Authorities said the victim was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Several hundred people gathered Sunday at the Iowa State Capitol to demonstrate for abortion rights in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which removed the federal right to an abortion and gave states the ability to restrict access to abortion. The rally was organized by a broad coalition of Iowa-based civil rights and reproductive rights organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Iowa and the Great Plains Action Society. –

Wade. A forthcoming decision from the court could change that.And Michigan advocates on both sides of the issue are already gearing up for a fight. On today's pod, we'll talk about the legal and political context of Michigan's impending battle over legal abortion.  GUESTS:  Nicole Wells Stallworth, executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan Zach Gorchow, executive editor and publisher of Gongwer News Service - Michigan Genevieve Marnon, legislative director for Right to Life of Michigan Looking for more conversations from Stateside?

Carolyn Harding with Whitney Shanahan, Founder of ProChoice with Heart, a growing organization that focuses on holding protests across the country fighting for women's rights! They wear red as a symbol of women's oppression, inspired by Margaret Atwood's book and hulu show, Handmaid's Tale. According to Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, “On September 1st one of the most extreme abortion bans went into effect — Texas's S.B. 8 will ban abortion at six weeks of pregnancy and encourages private citizens to act as abortion bounty hunters — allowing anyone to sue any Texan who they believe provided an abortion, or even helped a patient get an abortion, after six weeks.” Can you lay out what just happened in Texas, with the six-week abortion ban. What does that mean for the everyday Texan woman, their loved ones, and health care providers? What does this mean for everyday Ohioan women, their loved ones and health care providers? https://prochoicewithheart.com photo by Paul Becker GrassRoot Ohio w/ Carolyn Harding - Conversations with every-day people, working on important issues here in Columbus and all around Ohio!

NARAL's The Morning After is a production of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio. This week, Gabe is joined by Lauren and Sierra from Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio! Following a national decision by Planned Parenthood affiliates to withdraw from Title X (the federal family planning funding source), health centers are starting to inform patients what it will mean as sources of funding are gone. In Ohio, we're seeing some of the first major consequences as Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region closed two community health centers in the Cincinnati area. The changes to Title X are unrelated to the availability of government funding, but actually an intended negative outcome from the Trump/Pence agenda attacking Planned Parenthood.

 While overall access to contraception and other reproductive health services have increased over the last 20 years, access for low-income women and women of color has dropped. Since the 2010 elections, anti-abortionists have grown more emboldened in their attempts to restrict not only abortion services, but also to basic reproductive care.   African-American women have been especially targeted in a series of anti-abortion billboards posted across the country. Enraged by this finger-pointing, reproductive justice activist of all colors got together to fight for every woman's right to health care. On this edition, the fight for access to reproductive health care. This program was funded in part by the Mary Wohlford Foundation.   Featuring: Dorothy Roberts, Northwestern University law professor; Loretta Ross, Founder and National Coordinator of SisterSong; Susan Cohen, Director of Government Affairs at Guttmacher Institute; Nicole Gross, single mom; Chloe Heintz, rape survivor; Nicole Safar, Public Policy Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin; Heidi Williamson, National Advocacy Policy Coordinator for SisterSong; Walter B.
