tamm people of wisconsin. [applause] moving on, i want to say that when we look at where we are as a country, those leaders among the leaders who are here, for example congresswoman gwen moore, and i want to thank you all for the work they do to uphold one of our nations highest ideals, the ideal of freedom. freedom, i believe, is fundamental to the promise of america. read my speech, freedom of worship, freedom of assembly, freedom to vote. in america, freedom is not to be given. it is not to be bestowed. it is ours by right. and that includes the freedom to make decisions about one's own body. not the government telling you what to do. 51 years ago today, in the case of roe v. wade, the united states supreme court recognized the fundamental, constitutional right to reproductive freedom. and for nearly half a century, americans relied on this freedom, protected by roe. however, 19 months ago, the highest court in our land, the court of thurgood and rbg, took a constitutional right from the people of america,

wisconsin in the 1800s. just look at what happened here in this beautiful state of wisconsin.fter roe was dismantled, extremists invoked a law from 1849 to stop abortion in this state. 1849, before women could vote. for women could hold elected office. before many women could even on property. in a state whose motto is "forward," these extremists are trying to take us backward. but we are not having that. we are not having that. [cheers and applause] and just look at what the fallout has been. the reproductive care clinics across the state that had to close. the women that hospitals had to turn away. women like megan. so megan learned she was pregnant early last year. a few months later, she and her husband, john, went to their doctor for a routine ultrasound. and it revealed devastating news fo the fetus had a severe genetic disorder, and megan's pregnancy threatened her life. but because of that 1849 law, megan's doctor could not provide a lifesaving abortion unless he found two other physicians to sign off. he called dr. after dr. here in wisconsin, but none were willing to

save wisconsin's family farms. he championed vital stood assistance programs that children and working families rely on, and worked to expand access to affordable child care, eldercare, and health care for millions of americans. herb knew that taking care of our great outdoors and our environment was key not only to our wisconsin way of life but also to our economy. working with both environmentalists and business interests, herb secured resources to clean up drinking water sources and combat invasive species and pollution in our great lakes. and he championed initiatives to help workers get the skills they needed to be competitive in today's economy and keep wisconsin manufacturing jobs in wisconsin. senator kohl was never afraid to stand up to special interests on behalf of his constituents. he diligently led oversight of mergers and acquisitions to protect competition and cons consumers, in everything from agriculture to rail to telecommunications to health care. working with democrats and republicans to lower t

[cheers and applause] folks, am here today to ta about something tt does not get enough attention. the progress we are making to invest in america and american workers and erican products, to invest in america. that's what we are doing, bringing work opportunities and hope for communities all across this country. just last week, we saw the biggest jump in 30 years ihow posive consumers are feeling abt the onomy. things are finally beginning t sink in. we passed a lot of rlly good legislation. we knew it would take time beforet began to take hold, but it has taken hold now and is turning theconomy around. we also learned america has filed 16 billion new business

[laughter] he stripped good paying jobs in set them overseas. why? cheaper labor. ship it overseas. lower wage costs and then import the product. denying americans jobs. he shrank public investment and education. the process helosed factories leaving too many americans behind. look, i grew up in neighborhoods like many of you did where they had that factory. maybe only employing 600 o 800 people. it was the heartbeat of the community

that was one year after wisconsin became a state.widely as a criminal abortion ban, today, while your map showed wisconsin has considered abortion care legal, 69 out of our 72 counties, there is no care allowed, or provided. so, the reality is, as you heard in our briefing last week, peoples, people are risking their lives. the stories that i've heard from people in wisconsin are truly dire. we have got to pass my women's health protection act, to re-codify roe v. wade, and on the ballot, we have got to stop these republicans who are planning to push forward nationwide abortion bans. and we have got to put a stop to those republicans in wisconsin who are pushing a state wide abortion ban once again. >> senator, it's the sanders-townsend. you talk about republicans forcing statewide abortion bans. i want to play for you former vice president, mike pence, just yesterday talking about his hopes for a second trump term. >> first time sitting down at the resolute desk. >> our new president should direct the new attorney general to suspend

erica, what your vision for educational equity and this data wisconsin.l, thank you so much for asking me that question. we have 2 minutes. so, you know, when i collected the book, really it was a long time. the data for the book a long time ago had a few children, was on the job you know, on the job and so forth. but a lot of things were also changing during that time. and the way i thought about it then and changed really a lot. and one of the, you know, different among the things that were happening, especially as the book was coming out, trump had been elected we had no longer child left behind, but what was supposed to a more flexible accountability system. i don't think that's really turned out to change what people do in schools at all. so things like that were happening, but there also a lot more attention to, i think, especially after covid. but it didn't start then with organizing people, organizing against prisons like prison abolition and the movement for black lives and what those people have to do because they really want a different system,

now we go to wisconsin. president biden is getting out of washington today. he's going there to pitch americans on bidenomics. there are more signs his economic policies may be working. we learned the economy grew by 3.3% in the fourth quarter and that's far higher than expected. arlette saenz is already in wisconsin. what are we likely to hear from the president today? >> reporter: dana, president biden will be bringing his economic pitch here to wisconsin as he is eyeing a general election matchup with former president donald trump. here in superior the president will have a chance to talk about about something and potentially needle trump on something he wasn't able to accomplish in his four years in office, that is passing an infrastructure bill. biden will be here, saying that he will be promising to deliver at least $1 billion in federal funding to repair the bridge that's aging that currently connects wisconsin and minnesota. it's one of those examples that the president is troying to show to voters of his policies in action. as you mentioned, the bide

'and would stand right there.' my job was to shake hands with jack kennedy. shake hands with teddy. bobby. we worked hard. i come here today as a candidate in the wisconsin primary. kennedy is smart. he knows that if he can prove himself a vote-winner here in the primaries, the democratic party will have to take him seriously as a candidate for president. this was a new way of campaigning. this was a new way of becoming the nominee. [brennan] 'first of all, he's going to have to beat hubert humphrey.' hubert humprhey, democrat senator from minnesota, is confident he'll win wisconsin hearts. let me tell you, i've been working for the dairy farmer ever since i set foot in the senate of the united states.
