The top Republican in the Wisconsin Assembly says he’s willing to work with the governor on a new abortion law.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos yesterday said he is willing to compromise with Governor Evers. Vos said he wants to have an abortion law that will ‘withstand court challenges,’ but he didn’t say just what would be included in the new law. Wisconsin’s current law dates back to 1849, and doesn’t include exceptions for cases of rape of incest.
Governor Evers said during the campaign that he wouldn’t sign an exemption law because it would still ban most abortions in Wisconsin. Vos said he’s willing to see what the governor will do if lawmakers actually hand him something to sign.
