Tim Michels says he supports abortion ban with rape, incest exceptions in Wisconsin

The Republican candidate for governor, Tim Michels, is changing his stance on abortion, telling a Milwaukee radio station that he would sign an abortion ban in the state that includes exceptions for rape and incest. Wisconsin's current abortion ban dating back to 1849 does not identify such exceptions. Abortion law in Wisconsin reverted to the legislation when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade earlier this year. The law makes abortion a felony and doctors who give abortions face up to six years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. The only exception it has is that doctors can give an abortion in order to save the life of a woman. That does not necessarily include a pregnancy from rape or incest. https://www.tmj4.com/decision2022/tim-michels-says-he-supports-abortion-ban-with-rape-incest-exceptions
