MADISON, Wis – Representative Clinton Anderson released the following statement following the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision striking down the 1849 abortion ban.
“While this legal clarity is a step in the right direction, full reproductive freedom is not secured until the Legislature does our job to codify a statutory right to abortion and remove medically unnecessary barriers to critical care.”
“Advocacy groups around the state have been working for reproductive freedom for years, and they can breathe a sigh of relief today. But we must do more and pass previously introduced legislation to clear these restrictions and guarantee a right to abortion to all Wisconsinites.”
