Gov. Tony Evers (click here) announced Wednesday during a news conference in Milwaukee that he is calling the Legislature into a special session to repeal Wisconsin's 172-year-old criminal abortion ban.
If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, Wisconsin's law could go immediately into effect banning abortion at any stage of pregnancy without exception for rape, incest or the health of the woman.
Wisconsin remains one of several states with existing criminal statutes enacted before Roe v. Wade became the law.
"Every single Wisconsinite should have the right to consult their family, their faith and their doctor to make a reproductive health care decision that is right for them. And every single Wisconsinite should be able to make that deeply personal decision without interference from politicians who don't know anything about their life circumstances, values, or responsibilities," Evers said. "We cannot allow our kids and grandkids to grow up in a world where they have fewer rights than we did growing up. That's not the future we’ve promised them. And it’s not the future they deserve."
Evers signed the executive order following the news conference.
The special session is to be held at noon June 22.
