Does Madison really need another Italian restaurant?
On a typical Thursday, Kathryn Grajeda, a UW-Madison junior majoring in engineering mechanics, finishes class at noon and hurries home to work. Grajeda is luckier than many student workers - she can work from her apartment and set her own hours for her job at Total Water Treatment Systems handling data entry and spreadsheets. But the 10-20 hours she works in addition to a 17-credit, six-class schedule is critical, because Grajeda pays for school entirely on her own. When she graduates in 2010, she anticipates $40,000 in debt.

With the introduction of legislation to repeal Wisconsin's criminalized abortion statute, state anti-abortion and abortion-rights activists are preparing for a fight about contraception, health issues and rape victims. Myra Marx Ferree, a UW-Madison sociology professor specializing in abortion politics, said if Roe v. Wade was overturned, the same reasoning could be used to reverse Griswold vs. Connecticut, a 1963 ruling that privatized contraception use. Overturning these bills will affect women's rights not only for getting an abortion, but for getting things some people consider abortion and some people don't,\ Ferree said. Kelda Helen Roys, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, said, ""The same folks that are against abortion are simultaneously making abortion more necessary. Nobody wants there to be more abortion, and we know how to do that through birth control access."" Wisconsin Right to Life Executive Director Barbara Lyons said her organization would not support contraception access because abortion is used as a means of birth control.Sally Ladky, program director of Wisconsin Abstinence Coalition, said, ""If girls don't have the option of abortion, they may think very seriously about whether to have sex or not."" Lisa Boyce, vice president of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, said there have been fewer abortions in the past decade due to ""improved access to birth control."" She also said the majority of abortions are sought by women ages 24 to 30, and that abortion is not birth control because of the cost and inconvenience. According to Ferree, health provisions in Roe are ""a question of whether a woman's body is as private as a man's body. Is a woman's body hers if she is pregnant, or possibly pregnant?""
