Fourteen Wisconsinites from opposite sides of the abortion debate sat down together for a three-day Builders Movement Citizen Solutions session on abortion and family wellbeing. This wasn’t a panel or a debate for show. It was a practical, structured process with trained facilitators and a clear framework, designed to help people hear each other properly and figure out what could actually change in real life, not just online.What they landed on was surprisingly concrete: extending Medicaid postpartum coverage in Wisconsin from 60 days to a full year. In March 2026, the policy passed almost unanimously, and Governor Tony Evers signed it into law. This means more moms getting treatment for postpartum depression, more women getting care when something goes wrong after birth, and more families supported during the months when everything is raw, expensive, and exhausting.But the story behind that win is not tidy. One participant, Ali (a progressive Democrat and elected official in Madison), admitted she walked in suspicious, worried it would be conflict-as-entertainment. Kai, an independent who describes herself as a “world citizen,” trusted the referral and believed the process could work. Kateri, a Catholic who prefers “consistent life ethic,” feared being flattened into a stereotype, and she didn’t sugar-coat how hard it was to feel understood in a room full of strangers on a topic this loaded.This is the part we don’t talk about enough: real dialogue is uncomfortable, and “common ground” doesn’t magically appear because everyone’s being polite. It takes time, relationship, and a willingness to stay in the room when it gets tense. Still, this group proved something important, that even when people can’t agree on everything, they can sometimes agree on what families need, and push through the politics to get a real policy solution across the line.CHAPTER MARKERS:00:00 Introduction00:31 Builders Movement Intro01:30 Meet The Participants03:52 Ali Joins With Skepticism05:47 Kai On Trust And Dialogue07:21 Three Day Solution Session11:12 Trauma And Finding Empathy13:58 Relationship Building Debate24:37 Men In The Room25:59 Choosing Medicaid Extension27:22 Wraparound Support Systems30:12 Partisan Pushback and Perseverance33:25 Backlash and Unfinished Work36:08 Good for the Soul PicksRESOURCES MENTIONED:Builders Movement: https://buildersmovement.org/Citizen Solutions Wisconsin: http://citizensolutions.us/citizensolutions/wiGOOD FOR THE SOUL:Ali’s: My Friends by Friedrich Bachmanhttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/217163697-my-friendsKateri’s - East of Eden by John Steinbeck https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4406.East_of_EdenKai’s - Hammersmith Odeon Concerts https://www.concertarchives.org/venues/hammersmith-odeonOur Website:https://www.wevegottotalk.com/LINKS:On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wevegottotalk/ On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WeveGotToTalkOn Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weve-got-to-talk/id1797423701On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0qJVgTvjciUffRmoUienx2How to find Nicole https://nicolefonarow.com/How to find Jolene https://dibledough.com/
