Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin vetoed<\/a> four pro-life laws sent to his desk Friday afternoon, including one that would have protected survivors of abortion. His vetoes\u00a0fulfilled<\/a> a promise he made to his constituents last month.<\/p>\n

Assembly Bill 179<\/a>, a version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, did not interfere with a woman’s ability to get an abortion,\u00a0according <\/a>to state Senate president Roger Roth, and was solely focused on ensuring abortion survivors are provided the same life-saving care as any other baby born at the same gestational age. \u201cIt\u2019s not anti-abortion, it\u2019s anti-murder,\u201d Roth said, adding<\/a>\u00a0(according to the Associated Press), \u201cHow could anyone object to this?\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Governor Evers described the protections as \u201credundant<\/a>\u201d: \u201cI am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to the political interference between patients and their healthcare providers. Further, this bill is redundant because the protections this bill seeks to provide already exist in state law.\u201d However, as Live Action News has previously<\/a> reported, data from the Centers for Disease Control, together with eyewitness accounts and the frank admissions of abortionists, prove that babies do<\/em> survive abortion and are subsequently either left to die or actively killed.<\/p>\n

The other bills vetoed by the governor include a bill\u00a0banning<\/a> sex- and disability-selective abortion, a bill cutting off Medicaid funding<\/a> for abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, and an informed consent bill<\/a> requiring abortionists to inform women seeking first-trimester abortions about abortion pill reversal<\/a>, a policy aimed to assist women who are coerced to abort or who regret their medication abortions during the process.<\/p>\n
