Pro-abortion legislators in Wisconsin proposed<\/a> a package of bills on Wednesday that would expand access to abortion in the state.<\/p>\n

“The Reproductive Freedom Act<\/a> restores the power of individuals to make their own pregnancy decisions, healthcare decisions, removing medically unnecessary restrictions and bans on abortion care,” said<\/a> Rep. Francesca Hong, who is sponsoring the act with Sen. Kelda Roys. This is not honest.<\/p>\n

The package of pro-abortion bills would repeal pro-life laws<\/a> that were in place under Roe v. Wade,<\/em> including a law protecting preborn children from abortion after 20 weeks and parental consent requirements for abortions on minors. It would also require health insurance coverage of abortion, allow abortion pill use without an examination by a doctor, and allow abortion pill use at home alone. One bill in the package even targets pro-life pregnancy centers, attempting to force them to refer clients for abortion.<\/p>\n

In addition, one of the bills would instruct doctors to give specific information to women concerning abortion. Though the pro-abortion legislators say the information would have to be accurate, abortion facilities have been known<\/a> to mislead<\/a> women on fetal development<\/a> as well as the details of abortion procedures<\/a>.<\/p>\n
