A little over a week ago, in the midst of the heated debates around our nation’s proposed federal budget cuts, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI) attracted national attention. After 240 of 241 House Republicans voted to strip Planned Parenthood of government funding, Moore spoke up.

Congresswoman Moore joins us from Wisconsin to talk about her story and her thoughts on reproductive health funding.
