MADISON, Wis – Today, Governor Tony Evers announced his intention to convene a special session of the legislature to allow the people of Wisconsin to put referenda on ballots and repeal the archaic, criminal abortion ban. 

Rep. Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) released the following statement: 

“The will of the people should be the law of the land. However, Republicans have time and time again ignored popular policy proposals supported by the majority of Wisconsinites, like access to safe and legal abortion. The constitutional amendment proposed today puts the people of Wisconsin first and gives them a direct avenue to make change. 

“For too long, Republicans have been able to quash the voices of our friends and neighbors. Enough is enough — it is time to allow Wisconsinites to have a say.”
