Wisconsin Republicans who control the Legislature are divided over whether to push for rape and incest abortion exceptions in the face of their Democratic governor's pledge to veto any bill that keeps the state’s 173-year-old ban in place
FILE - Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos talks to the media after Gov. Tony Evers addresses a joint session of the state Legislature in the Assembly chambers during his State of the State speech at the state Capitol, Feb. 15, 2022, in Madison, Wis. Wisconsin Republicans who control the legislature are divided over whether to push for rape and incest abortion exceptions in the face of Evers' pledge to veto any bill that keeps the state's 173-year-old ban in place. MADISON, Wis.
“I’m going to work hard to make it happen,” Vos said. “I think it’s the right public policy and I think it’s where the public is.” Democratic Senate Minority Leader Melissa Agard said if Senate Republicans are struggling with the issue, “maybe they should reflect a little bit deeper and restore reproductive freedoms for people.”
“Let’s see if there’s some middle ground where we can find consensus,” Vos said. “I don’t know why wouldn’t do that other than politics.”
