Lawmakers are considering legislation that would prevent the state-funded university from providing resident physicians with abortion-procedure training. On July 18, state Republicans held a public hearing to debate the bill, which would bar University of Wisconsin physicians from providing abortion training anywhere other than a hospital. O'Kimosh was charged in a complaint filed last Friday in the U. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. While it's refreshing to see a cop get held accountable for a change, calling O'Kimosh a threat to community safety seems a bit melodramatic. No adult, especially not one sworn to uphold the law, should be sexting with a teenager, let alone propositioning one. The Dean of Students Office/Division of Student Life is committed to providing an environment that is free of sexual misconduct, stalking, and dating and domestic violence in any form. We are dedicated to creating a safe and secure campus that allows students, faculty, staff and third parties the right to learn, work and live. Crucially, OB-GYN residents in Wisconsin need to complete abortion training to be accredited by the state. The university warned this week that, if passed, the bill could not only drive potential students away from the school's medical program, but could also make abortions — and women's health care, in general — even more difficult to obtain in the state.
