This WI Mom Had Her Baby With the Help of Planned Parenthood

Each year for her birthday, Heather Martell puts out a call asking for donations to an organization that has played a “life-saving” role in her life: Planned Parenthood.

Heather has a history of complicated reproductive health issues and says the doctors, nurses, and social workers at Planned Parenthood have always been caring, considerate, and helpful in her decision-making and connections over the years—from answering everyday health questions to getting her the help she needed when she was miscarrying and hemorrhaging for days.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says if Donald Trump returns to the White House, the Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood—largely because of the reproductive health care organizations’ support of abortion rights.
For years, Republicans in Wisconsin’s state legislature and in Congress have tried to take away this access to health care.

Planned Parenthood leaders in the state say when these lawmakers talk about “defunding” their organization, they really mean blocking patients, many who depend on public health care funding like Medicaid, from getting necessary health care.
