Despite Governor Tony Evers’ promised veto, Wisconsin Republicans proceed with a hearing on the proposed 14-week abortion ban.
The State Assembly discussed the plan, aiming to involve voters in determining the state’s abortion laws. Democrats criticized the specifics of the proposal, arguing that it would restrict women’s choices.
Pro-life advocates and lawmakers suggested reverting to Wisconsin’s pre-Roe abortion law.
If approved, the 14-week ban would go to the governor before reaching voters, with Governor Evers committed to vetoing the plan.
