Governor Evers says he wouldn’t sign a law allowing for abortion exemptions because it doesn’t go far enough.
The governor told a crowd in Milwaukee yesterday that he doesn’t want exemptions for abortion, he wants abortion to be fully legal in the state. Wisconsin is one of about two dozen states that saw a near-total ban on abortion go into effect when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade. The governor says he wants Roe to become the law of the state. His opponent, Republican Tim Michels, said last month that he would sign an exemption law if lawmakers sent it to him.
