Gov. Tony Evers calls legislature to repeal 1849 abortion ban

Gov. Tony Evers announced Wednesday that he is calling a special session in the Wisconsin legislature in order to repeal the state's 1849 law that bans abortion. Evers said during a press conference at the State Capitol Building that he wants to “create a pathway to repeal Wisconsin’s abortion ban." “Right now, today, when it comes to reproductive freedom, the will of the people isn’t the law of the land but it damned well should be, folks,” Evers said. https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/gov-tony-evers-calls-legislature-to-repeal-1849-abortion-ban
