Madison - Today, Governor Evers called a special session of the Wisconsin State Legislature to create a pathway for Wisconsinites to repeal Wisconsin’s 1849-era criminal abortion ban. Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison) released the following statement supporting Governor Evers’ actions:
“Providing the voters of Wisconsin with an opportunity to directly challenge the state’s criminal abortion ban through a statewide referendum would allow the will of the voters to be heard and honored. I am confident that if Wisconsin voters get a direct say in this matter, they will overwhelmingly support restoring reproductive freedoms. If the majority party is unwilling to honor the will of the people and protect abortion access, then they need to get out of the way and allow Wisconsinites to do their job for them.” |
