Wisconsin Republicans Propose 14-Week Abortion Ban

Governor Evers Promises Veto as Vice President Harris Visits State to Promote Reproductive Rights

Wisconsin Republicans have introduced a bill to ban abortions after 14 weeks of pregnancy, six weeks earlier than the current 20-week ban.
The bill, if passed, would require a statewide referendum for approval during April's election.
Democratic Governor Tony Evers has vowed to veto the bill, stating that it aims to make reproductive healthcare less accessible for Wisconsinites.
The bill's introduction coincides with Vice President Kamala Harris' visit to Wisconsin, promoting reproductive rights.
The bill's introduction and potential referendum could galvanize the conservative base, following recent Democratic victories tied to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
