Some Good News From Wisconsin
Wisconsin Supreme Court throw out 1849 abortion ban.
https://www.wispolitics.com/2025/wisconsin-supreme-court-throws-out-1849-abortion-ban/
A split state Supreme Court today invalidated an 1849 law that had been interpreted as banning all abortions.
Writing for the majority in a 4-3 ruling, liberal Justice Rebecca Dallet found changes the state has made to abortion laws over the past 50 years implicitly repealed the 1849 statute.
Dallet added the changes touched “virtually every aspect of abortion including where, when, and how health-care providers may lawfully perform abortions.”
