A new bill has passed the Wisconsin assembly that would protect preborn children from abortion after 14 weeks gestation, but the governor has already vowed to veto it.<\/p>\n

Assembly Bill 975<\/a> was narrowly approved in a 53-46 vote; some Republicans refused to vote in its favor because they felt 14 weeks was too late in the pregnancy. Rep. Amanda Nedweski said she expected Gov. Tony Evers to veto the bill from the beginning, but wanted to put the issue in the minds of voters, according to Wisconsin Public Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA referendum puts the power back in the hands of the people where it belongs,\u201d she said. The bill would require the issue be put on the April ballot, where voters would decide if preborn children should be protected after 20 weeks gestation, which is current Wisconsin law, or lower the cutoff to 14 weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI support this bill because I believe that the people should decide without having to be put in one bucket or the other,\u201d Rep. Angie Sapik, who said she supports abortion in some circumstances, said. \u201cPut the referendum directly to the people without allegiance to their political party, and let\u2019s see how many people are actually standing in the mud with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evers gave his State of the State address<\/a> the same week, where he said he would make over-the-counter contraceptives free to Wisconsinites who receive public health insurance. He also promised to veto any bill that limits abortion \u2014 something he further reiterated on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of Wisconsin have already made themselves clear on this issue, and so have I,\u201d he wrote<\/a>. \u201cI promised to veto any bill that takes away Wisconsinites\u2019 reproductive freedom or makes reproductive healthcare any less accessible than it is today. I\u2019ll keep that promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wisconsin has already been fighting a legal battle over an 1849 law that took effect after Roe v. Wade<\/em> was overturned in 2022; Dane County Circuit Judge Diane Schlipper ruled<\/a> in December that the statute refers to feticide \u2014 an act of homicide against a fetus committed by someone other than the child\u2019s mother \u2014 but not abortion, and blocked the law.<\/p>\n

The bill now needs to pass the Wisconsin Senate before heading to Evers’ desk.<\/p>\n
